anne_dWell, it's been confirmed. We heard scuttling noises overhead last night, The Husband went out front and looked at the roof, and saw a large rat.
That's right, folks, Mr. Samuel Whiskers is living in our attic.
The Husband is going to (finally) put new screen on all the vents and stop up the little gap in the eves next to the roof, which is apparently where the rat is getting in and out, and rig a one-way exit over the big vent at the back of the bungie section of the house. This weekend, even.
*Sigh* It could be worse. It could be sheep in the wainscoting. Armed sheep.
Wishing you all a happy and safe Independence Day, from the bloody colonials on this side of the pond.

The Country Fair is not what it used to be. The really good artists have all moved on to greener pastures, and what remains is mostly dead grotty or the sort of premade crap you can buy at Claire's in the mall. Sic semper transit gloria mundi and all that jazz.
It is currently 82° and rising with 48% rh, sun and a sticky blanket of clouds. Nasty, nasty weather. We hates it, we hates it forever.
