Saturday. I've just put a load of washing on the line, and fed some hedgehogs while I was at it. :o} Quite pleasant outside.
Yesterday afternoon I was sitting out in the sun reading, something caught my eye, I looked down to the right, stood by my chair was a lovely rat! Obviously someone's pet that has done a runner as it wasn't at all afraid and looked very smart. I put a dish of water down and it drank thirstily. It settled down for a while then looked up at me as if to say 'Ta squire', and wandered off! I hope it found it's way home OK.
Nothing on the chart for today, so it looks like another day in the sun. A hard life innit! :o}
Have a happy day everyone.

Morning emmie xxx This one was obviously a pet, it was in very good condition and not at all afraid. One of Vera's sons used to keep rats as pets. They are very intelligent creatures. That's how I knew it wasn't a wild one, it was too well looked after.

emmie

nope can't stand the things, nor hamsters, gerbils and such like, they make my skin crawl...

They are not everyone's idea of a pet I agree emmie, i had two white mice when I was a youngster, I had a lot of fun with them.

emmie
