Catch

Not good light today :-( but on the up side there has been some squirrel proofing of our roof :-)

I'm all about not having squirrels in the roof. This is partly because it's not a distant roof..... not quietly nestling above many floors of residence.... maybe where servants used to live, a hundred years ago. No, it's a flat roof on the extension of what I expect was once a coal cellar, adjacent to the kitchen..... And squirrels smell..... Bleuuggh. I've found myself quietly humming to myself, "something tells me it's all happening at the zoo." Or in our roof. Hard to smell tell.

You may recall the nice pest control man asked me if I was handy! After I'd stopped laughing, I informed him not, but fortunately I have 'handy' relatives. It was Mr CleanSlate's Dad who arrived today, brandishing chicken wire and expanding foam. If the squirrels get in now, at least we'll know they have a tummy ache :-)

So, No.1 son has been trying. Still not properly better and playing up for the Grandparents. There is a further set of Grandparents arriving tomorrow, who may read this and reconsider their trip (unless they enjoy whinging and the aroma of the zoo??!!)

But I'm hopeful for the whole clock change thing. If the rascals have been waking up at 6 (and they have), they should wake at 7 tomorrow! Clearly this shouldn't feel any better for me, but I'm (hopelessly) optimistic I can harness it and it will be the beginning of more reasonable wake up calls!!
