Just got SMS that fresh lynx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx) tracks have been seen 50m from our cottage (=hq). So we shouldn't leave anything edible outside for the night. Lynx is usually very rarely seen, but this particular creature seems to be quite bold.

Does "anything edible" include reenactors? :)

Have a good time all!

I am not edible as I am so skinny, but Franz is so fat that the lynx would get a good meal out of him :D
