After pushing everything off that was in his way, Buddy settled in. We watched a lot of make over shows last night. We love make over shows, whether it’s people or houses, we watch them all. However we must say we preferred Finola Hughes on How Do I Look, and the old format. No offense to the new team, but we’re not going to be watching that anymore. But we LOVE LOVE LOVE that Stacy and Clinton got a new hair stylist for their show What Not to Wear. We never liked their previous one. (Sorry.) Also, is Tim Gunn’s make over show coming back? And last, we’re happy that Flip This House is back with new episodes.

Yesterday, there were cameras on every corner on West 4th and Perry shooting these two girls having lunch. (More below.)

It was all for a new reality TV show called The City, I was told. I googled it and found this:

“It’s official. MTV has confirmed that the network will air unscripted spinoff series of The Hills featuring reality personality Whitney Port’s move from L.A to the Big Apple, as the fashion maven embarks on a new gig with legendary designer Diane von Furstenberg.”

So this is Whitney Port I guess.

It worked!  Plus, it’s already being used as a nice bird-walk.  They flew away when I got up to take a picture, but I bet anything they’re all lined up there tomorrow and I’ll get a picture then.

My friend Ruby suggested putting a piece of wood diagonally across the railing of the fire escape and hanging it from there. A perfect solution, I think.

She also offered to make notches on either end so I could secure it to the railing instead of laying it on top.

Here’s the issue.  Because there’s no open end on the railing that would allow me to slide the feeder on and off, I bought this hook that I can easily open and close in order to remove and re-hang the feeder.  So the wood piece would have to be thin enough to fit that hook, which might make it too thin to cut notches into.  It might be easier to just use a more substantial piece of wood that I could just pull aside every morning from the end closest to me in order to remove and fill the feeder?

This morning, when I lifted the bird feeder to refill it the hanger fell off! I was terrified it would hit someone on the street, but I guess there was little chance of that given the hour and the fact that it was raining. It landed on the windowsill of a neighbor in any case, and never made it to the street.

I took this picture just now.

A close-up.

A couple of birds waiting for me to stop with the picture taking already so they can get back to breakfast. I guess I quit. For now. I’m going to put out a little more shower curtain in one more spot, but I’ve done my best.
