Well its been raining here for ages..but today was quite a nice day, overcast yet warm-and for once, no rain! So Clem did the usual 'i want to go out' protest, and instead of telling her no as its too rainy or windy and then getting sworn at by her-i opened the back door and off she tottered-that was at about half ten.
She has been out since then...and house is empty, dogs went out with my mom earlier on (visiting some relative or others-theres too many to keep track of
) and i've spent the day up here lazing around watching films-so thought not once to go and check what the naughty tortie lady was up too as she usually goes round the front and through the porch side window to come in-its allways open you see. So anyway, just now the telephone rang so went down to answer it, got off and as i walked past the back door i noticed there was "something" there-opened the door and there in a rather neat line were five rather fat mice, who obviouslly were too cocky and cut, exiting from behind nextdoors shed, too fine, presented on their backs with feet up in the air
So i went and fetched a carrier bag and dustpan and brush and just as i was clearing these horrible little corpses away, over the fence comes 'father christmas' (
) herself, bawling her head off as if to say "What a waste of a day!"
The cheeky mare managed to grab a rather plump 'present' which i hadn't yet scooped up, and she made off with it and was gone into the distance.
Strange creatures aren't they?
