You can never have enough...

Good morning - must tell my rat story -we had French doors in the bedroom and my old boy before he died used to keep telling me to close them earlier when the weather started to cool because there would be rats in the nearby creek and they would be looking somewhere as the weather cooled - of course I never listened - anyway not long after he died I told my son I could hear a rat chewing in the bedroom wall - he told me rats couldn’t get in the walls it would be the trees - the chewing continued the next night seemed to be right at the level of my ear - so I called him again - so he owns a supermarket and arrived around the next night with his arms full of mouse traps and boxes of rat poison smiling from ear to ear - he proceeded to nail rat poison on blocks of wood and put them all over the house - he put one behind the cane bedside table because that’s the level I could hear chewing - next night chewing again - I checked the poison not touched - I emptied all my tablets out of the drawer in my cane thingee so it was completely empty - different chewing - banged the wall etc etc - the bait was eaten - I had such satisfaction calling my son - so he rushed around with a trap - told my neighbour she tells me they had one living in the base of her kids bed - so back my son comes to check my bed - he tips it up and there is the biggest DEAD rat you have ever seen with two lots of my blood pressure tablets the foil chewed through - wish I could put the photo up he called it Jona - lucky it had only just died - but the chewing which I thought was by my ear was by my ear he was eating my tablets and when I tipped the drawer out he must have been there - needless to say those doors were shut in the early evening
