not quite a gardening question !
The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these words: I've seen another rat in the garden. The other day I was quietly weeding away when just from the corner of my eye I saw something rusty moving on the ground about 3 m away. Oy! I represent that remark. (And you must have pretty good eyesight to see even me moving on the ground three miles away...) For a wonderful moment I thought it was the red squirrel getting tame, so very slowly turned my head , and there was a rat taking a leisurely stroll towards me. It was a much darker rat than the two-tone cream bellied one seen raiding the trellis birdfeeder a few weeks ago. Wearing camou' or make-up, perhaps? Some years ago I was leaning on one of my field gates chewing a straw, as one does, with the gun beside me, when a hare approached in a leisurely fashion down the hedge. I stood there and watched him, and when he got to a place where I could have picked up the gun and prodded him, I said: "Hello, Hare!" Surprised, he turned his head a bit sideways (hares can't see dead ahead, one hears) and zig-zagged off across the field He could have stopped and had a chat 'cos the big jug was full of milk., -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
