Barney cocoadelicous – Another case of nature coming indoors. This cute cuddly creature must have snuck in the dining room when the patio door was left open. I caught it climbing a chair. No doubt it was searching for chocolate, which is its favourite food, as indicated in the species Latin name. I photographed it through the patio window from outside as I didn’t want to frighten it off. Also note these are very partial to sherry as well as chocolate, so make sure you keep them locked away – the sherry and the chocolate, and not the Barney. Needless to say, unless these creep you out, double-click image for a closer look-see.
Just having a bit of light fun during these very strange and trying times.

Mission accomplished, Pete! It took me a minute to figure out the image, and then I laughed and laughed. Reading the text, I kept thinking: chocolate? sherry? What a fun post!
