There's a fridge in the shed not connected to electricity where I store food for my bird friends and a big rat jumped out the door I leave slightly ajar so as it doesn't go mouldy inside. Frightened the BJ out of me.
The cold had come in quickly and i'll need to do some vermin control. I can't find the mouse and rat traps I had in the laundry. They were always in my way so I put them somewhere else and now I can't remember where I put them. Lib hates me using poison as if I do there seems to always be a stinking rotting carcas somewhere that is hard to locate.
We have lit the fire this past two evenings, weeks earlier than usual.

How long has your blog been green? I must be the most unobservant person in the world!
I know what you mean about the cooler nights. We have had to turn the fan off half way through the night now. (Sorry, can't help myself. But this is the tropical weather that I really love - warm clear days and pleasant nights. I love living here.)
And I'm with Lib on the mice too. When my niece got married in Dalby some years ago, we stayed in the guest quarters which was a sandstone block couple of rooms detached from the main house. Their preparations to tidy the place for the wedding included laying mice baits and one had died between the block walls. They used nilodour to try and cover the smell - maybe more than they should. It didn't work. That pervading mixture of dead mouse and sickly sweet nilodour is a smell recollection that still turns my stomach.
Enjoy that fire.
Thanks Lesley. It's been green all along, I don't think I ever have changed anything.
We have had 3 super bad dead mice/ rat incidents. They are worst when the carcass is in a place the flies can't reach eg burrowed in a insulation bat or a cardigan pocket in the wardrobe covered by tissues. The stench lingers for so long and I have taken weeks to find it.
Yes your weather must be lovely now. All the very best to you, soak it up.
