Two minutes after arriving back from a three-week absence, I went to unlock the Shed and discovered that I was already late for my disciplinary hearing.

She's talking to me again now, but mostly to complain about the lack of a fire so far today.

Today, I found that some evidential material had been deposited at the front door of the house.

I considered how I might deliver some admonishment about this, as I would generally view shrews are a largely beneficial resident, not given to entering houses and causing issues thereby.

Luckily, though, before I embarrassed myself with my lack of knowledge, I discovered that these are European Shrews and, as such, were not known to be present on this western island before 2005. They do, apparently, cause the native Pygmy Shrews some difficulties.

So, I have no recourse but to tick them off as an acceptable prey item.

How new small mammals have caused an 'invasional meltdown'

We've had a week away... 2 of our 3 cats are totally ignoring us completely, like we don't exist... Baby Harry though....thinks we're the best thing since sliced bread... So happy as we've never been gone so long before!
