It’s that time of year when I have to take in the garden ornaments and re-chrome their eyes.
Oh well. Everyone else must have to do the same, I suppose.

Shirley you can do better than that. My future brother in law aged 14 ,48 years ago fitted his scalextic with flashable head lights and direction winkers so I’m dead sure you could fit all your concrete creatures with electric lights for eyes. You could get them to increase in brightness on the approach of another live critter. I’d fit a tazer for the local cat personally.
I once fitted brake lights to Scalextric cars. When you release the controller, the car rolls forward under no power before stopping and at that point the engine is acting like a dynamo. So all you need are a couple of LEDs and a diode and whenever you let the car slow, the back-voltage from the motor puts the brake lights on.
It only works on those cars that don’t do the brick-wall stop when you let the power go.
“I’d fit a tazer for the local cat personally.”
Good grief what’s the local cat being doing to upset you then? Shat in your flower bed or eaten a few birds? Goodness.
The SRSPCA would have a lot to say about that!
My cats never crap in my garden. No other cats do either since one of my cats is a huge Tom that doesn’t give warnings or take prisoners.
Driving past a local cemetery the other evening, I noted the latest chav accessory: solar powered LED lights on the headstones. Not particularly pretty, but no resale value so nobody’s bothered to steal ‘em yet.
We have them here too. I want a solar-charged motion-activated giggling skull on mine and if I don’t get one, someone is getting haunted.
