More Wildlife Tails


Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house 
not a creature was stirring 
not even that blasted mouse!!!!

Who has been; gnawing, clawing, munching, crunching, nibbling and gnawing some more - generally wreaking havoc in this house. Not content with just him. feasting on the delights here at number three he invited all his mates. What went on all over Granddad and Grandma's chairs, well, I was agog!

They arrived in the broom cupboard, worked their way through and under the kitchen cupboards, broke their way into Granddad  and Grandma's room, to eventually party to festival standards all over those chairs!  Gorging on mince pie leftovers and crisps. No licking the plates by theses diners - they ate their plates! Yes,  they actually devoured the tin foil plates and foil crisp packets, getting no doubt a sugar and salt rush to a frenzied high before the alcoholic highs from the dregs of Granddad's beer cans - what a party!!

How do I know what went on? - The overwhelming evidence! The carnage, the gnawed at packets strewn everywhere but mostly, ummmm mostly, the little black deposits strewn everywhere!!! I mean every where - they even ran amok in Grandma’s knitting wool! How so much deposit can come out of something so small, once again I was and still am, agog!

So the only stirrings, and nibblings I want to hear this Christmas Eve is from a certain creature crunching on his carrot!

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!


On second thoughts, the deposits left by Rudolf?  Umm, maybe not!!!!!!
