I'm not sure I could entice him to eat sunflower seeds but watermelon sounds good - we'll have to give it a try!

You are welcome! I have time on my hands because my husband is still in bed nursing a serious hangover after too much partying last night! :)

Thank you Karen, I could have looked it up, but was feeling lazy after a long night of celebrating the new year!
