I remember going round to the house of one of Husband's new colleagues, and chatting to his wife, and she was talking about the ice-maker in the fridge, and I just nodded wisely and kept the conversation going, and didn't confess that I had no idea what she was talking about.

Firstly, we have fat squirels here. Secondly we have rabbits too. And most tellingly, you claim to have been doing the washing up. They don't do that in the US of A - they have dishwashers. I know because I've seen it in the movies. So I suspect your ensconsed in Wiltshire or Dorset or somewhere.Nota Benehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969705852180234416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-85476655840242457762009-06-27T16:58:03.135-04:002009-06-27T16:58:03.135-04:00So hopefully the mice won't have come along fo...So hopefully the mice won't have come along for the ride in your container when it arrives then...?Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290395635850697105.post-86079771606229683792009-06-27T13:55:03.112-04:002009-06-27T13:55:03.112-04:00Let us know when you see your first possum.
