There has been a lot of rodent activity in my fish pond and rabbit run area.
As in rats hanging out in broad daylight. Most unusual.
The last two days I set out my live trap and have caught a little rat each day and brought them to the field by my job and released them.
These are either smaller versions (YOUNGSTERS) of the rats I usually catch or a different type. They seem lighter gray and cuter.
The big, nasty ones I usually dispatch on site after catching them. Chewing on the cage. Ugly and smelling of urine.
These are about twice the size of a mouse and are very calm.

If I catch another tonight and I imagine I will, I'll attempt to take a photo.

@Tidgy's Dad
There's a website Elfster.com than is suppose to be easy to organize a secret santa. You only sign up if you want to participate and it randomly chooses a secret santa for you.
Check it out.
Adam , I think you set it up and give the link.

Thanks , Kathy!
But as there's only going to be a few of us and i have a Fes, I'll probably organize my own disasters.
Anyway, I'm a bit Neanderthal when it come to websites and stuff.
And there'll be photos of the draw.

Good morning CDR.

It's Tuesday and the weather can only be described as grey. It was grey yesterday too - very dull - it hardly seemed to get light.

Today I will do the ironing - I will - I promise - unless I can invent enough other things to make sure I'm too busy again.

The ATP tennis starts at lunchtime. I can't watch tennis and iron - so I must iron this morning.... Hmmmm

Good morning, Linda.
Nice and sunny, today, will go off out with Tidgy in a minute.
I do all the ironing here, wifey refuses to do any at all.
You can ask Michelle Obama to help you, since she's got hers to do anyway.

Or Secret Noel Baba? (Father Christmas here)

Good morning, Lena.
Here they use the French, Papa Noel.
But Christmas is usually referred to as Bonne Année.

It's one of those things I neglected because I was doing something else. The rats got a foothold out there again.
I'm currently finished with the large house projects and have no customers waiting on a motorcycle........

Morning, Linda!

Ironing isn't my favorite pastime either.

Had to make a trip to the local bazaar to spend a grand total of 1.23 GBP on tangerines, greens and beetroot for borscht.

This is where I found Kristoff. This empty lot adjacent to the bazaar fills up with cars later in the day.

Yes, thank goodness you got him out of there!

[Tidgy's Dad]

[johnandjade]

Good afternoon, John.

True.
At least if they would stop the rats I'd have a use for them.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I have a fantastic idea for the Secret Santa gift!!! Can we please do this already?

I'm hoping for one more entrant.
The magnificent seven.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

If I catch another tonight and I imagine I will, I'll attempt to take a photo.

Domestic rat escapees ?
Or a breeding population.

Has anyone heard from Lyn in the last few days?
@Lyn W
I wonder if Lola has improved.
