Mice, I can cope with, Matey. :)

It's the wretched rats in the barns that make me want to.....No.....Never mind. =) X_X

If the 'new' feline starts knocking out some of those vermin...I'll even put down some 'nice/posh' cat food.
But there is NO WAY I'll ever let that one closer to the house than 'she' is already.

Take off and nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

Speaking of rats... Teenagers back making a nuisance. Throwing stones, knocking on doors, shouting abuse at us and other neighbors and who knows what else.

Made a report to the police thinking nothing would come of it but right enough the police turned up a little later and questioned us on it and had a drive around. They'd already moved on but police told us to call them anytime they were being troublesome again and they'd be out, plus they'd do a few drive arounds in the evenings going forward.

Hopefully that'll be someway to sorting it. Not sure the police will catch them but if they turn up a few times it may deter them.

Can't wait until we can move house away from people. Or at least away from convenient pathways that kids can use as escape routes when they misbehave! It was bad enough when it was wee kids who you could usually shout at and scare but these ones are a bit older so won't be so easily scared off.

Sorry to hear about your rats MMCV :(. We had another party going on last night, but at least they had finished by 10.30pm, which was a blessed relief. We were half expecting another party going on at the 'teens' house but a no show from them thank God! We did have a baby screaming its head off on and off all night though...

I mean...Why ?.....I can never get my head around the fact that some teenagers want to do this sort of thing.
Sympathies, Matthew.

At least that's a step in the right direction, Steve.

Local pub hosted a party last night. Trying to sleep with a 90s disco going on, then after midnight the inevitable screeching across the carpark.

Bring back lockdown!

A tiny bit of normality in these very strange times.....

Actually got to see Von's Mum at the 'home', yesterday.....Must have been six and a half months since I saw her.....About six months from when Von last saw her.

Nice to see she was looking pretty good.....And she hadn't forgotten who we were. :)....Only confusion was why we weren't allowed to get any closer, but she seemed to take in there was a 'horrid bug' 'doing the rounds !

That care home has done all the residents proud !!
