The question of the day ? Name three events that you have experienced in the past 48 hours.
First, whilst sweeping up the deck I found a dead mouse. Although we detest them with a passion when they are inside the house, I feel sad when I see a dead-un outside the house. We suspect this was the fat little critter we saw a week ago peeking into our kitchen, not seeing us until we were almost on top of him. Anyway I gave him a decent burial in the backyard, which leads me to...
Second, as I was digging a hole for said mouse, I heard a rustling sound in the bamboo. I carried on digging as it was probably a bird. But then out from the undergrowth came this large black and white creature. I jumped a mile in the air as initially I thought it was ElsieSkunk, but no it was a huge raccoon. He was grumpy about being disturbed and definitely not afraid of us. He lumbered off into the neighbour's garden.
And third, I got a call late last week. Lost Property from the BlogTrain called. Noone claimed the money I handed in several weeks ago, so now it is mine to keep. I must admit I never thought I'd see that again, so it was a bit of a pleasant surprise. I waltzed along to the office after work. After showing my id, I am now thirty dollars richer. As I was walking away, the man behind me went up to the counter and said, "My name is Jerry and I'm here to report that I've lost some cash...." and we all laughed.
