For any pheasant wanting to be let in here, it would be a one way trip. [yummy]

Bluetits!

That pheasant thought his reflection was another pheasant threatening his territory. I get bluet it's doing the same. (Shudder) (bird phobia)

Stop what? I would stop them if I could!

I'll console myself with the thought of our heating bills being lowered by rodent-generated methane then. 'Always look on the bright si-ide of Life, tee dum, tee...' No, doesn't work.

Stop it!!! Stop it now!

One of the joys of living in the countryside, jings. The countryside moves in with you for the winter. I've even had a pheasant pecking at the French windows wanting to be let in.

Oh God please no. Although that does sound more like it!

What's todays date 1st April ?, no.
Ah, now if there are enough of them, you could heat the house with methane.

Euuuurgh!

You need to move.

Tell it like it is, I say.

Did you know that mice fart? No, nor did I until this morning. BH bought me tea in bed and I was lying there listening to the sound of his car driving away and heard an almighty great fart coming from beneath the floorboards to my left. I couldn't even blame DBH as he wasn't there. I thought I was imagining things, really, until I heard another one.

I went downstairs and turned on this computer, situated almost directly beneath our bed, and could hear lots of scrabbling going on above my head. So now I can't escape the fact that a family of farting mice have moved in for the winter, under the bedroom floorboards and carpet where I can't even get to them to evict them!

I googled farting mice (please God don't ever let my computer be requisitioned for any purpose) and this was just one of the many results.
