COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Come home yesterday to find a letter. Apparently there's an infestation of rats in 'neighbouring properties' but don't know whose as none of the people I've asked nearby know anything about it. I've spent ages in my little garden this couple of years and in the last few weeks been chopping back a lot of greenery and pulling up old plants but not seen or heard any sign of rats. The biggest problem for me has been next doors 4 cats using my garden as a litter tray, so I would have thought they would be a good deterrent to any rats, but I've got to stop feeding my lovely sparrows to make sure the sunflower hearts aren't attracting rats.
I love watching them in my tree so sad about that.

From what you've said about your neighbours...

It's interviewing teachers that gets me. They don't look old enough to have left school, let alone be applying for an Assistant Principal's post. How can someone that young have so many years teaching experience?!

Also the mirrors are wrongly calibrated. I know what I look like and that's not what appears in the mirror.

same with the police!

Evening all good to see it busy in here.
I suggest we hold John down and tickle him until he spills the beans about the secret.

the beans are for tidgys substrate

 

[johnandjade]

I agree.
And i can use the beans as substrate.

How sad.
But an infestation of rats is not a good thing.
When the street flooded a few years back, the rats came out of the sewers and were running up the hill and into the houses, up our stairwell and all over the place.
Everybody was horrified.
('cept me, of course) .

My nasty neighbours have no drains for surface water and leave their sewer cover up on props to drain it away. I have been worried that that may attract rats.
They also have 3 massive general waste bins into which all their pet waste such as litter trays, dog poo goes and they leave the lids open to the elements. which again is a draw for rats, so I hope they have also been told to change their ways.
I don't know for sure if they have reported the rats but if it could be a tit for tat reaction to their washing machine drainage issue.
I just haven't seen any sign of them anywhere - just frogs and toads.
