where? there on the stair!
Feb. 18th, 2022 03:09 pmStorm Eunice is currently sending down hail. Nice.

That spherical bird feeder works really well to defeat squirrels. Today, however, a mouse has been in there, *gorging* its little self. It may yet get too rotund to leave the sphere. Earlier, a blue tit arrived and intimidated it into running down the branch, but it returned.
We also had a couple of what I think must be long-tailed tits, occasional visitors.

I'm pretty sure Sable brought a mouse in last night, from her defensive and sneaky behaviour. But I have seen no sign of it. She's been sitting on her high perch in the library today. Boy is working in there: he didn't go to work because of the storm, and the radiators in his bedroom were being sorted today. I think the cat quite liked the company, particularly since there were Strange Men in the house.

Beast has been wrestling with the innards of the boiling tap. The tank is/was FULL of limescale. Hmph. It's wonderful when it is working, but the customer service is a bit rubbish - they were supposed to send both an instruction booklet and an invoice, and we received neither. Hmph again. Beast is a pretty good engineer, so no doubt he will figure it out, but. Hmph. I am not quite used to the rhythm of using a kettle, and keep mis-timing things.
