guess what...the other day as i was preparing a meal..he was standing under my feet again..wouldn't go away...just in case I dropped anything...but I did...It was a saucepan lid...and it landed on the hard floor beside him with a clatter....He flew off...sat in the conservatory watching from a distance and didn't return.
Since then...when I go to that same area to start the meal..he quickly disappears to watch from a distance.
Now I didn't drop the lid on purpose you understand

but hey it sure has done the trick.
So have you done anything by accident that has worked to your advantage.?
