Rat runs

Up early on "rat watch" this morning, and I am convinced the little buggers ARE around as like an African hunter I have found rat "Spoor" under the duck house and "runs" on the edge of the field. I have not actually seen any rats except the dead on William had killed but I want to nip any infestation very quickly! Thank god for Flintshire County Council! after playing a blinder with the bollard construction, they have come up trumps yet again when I rang them today for some rat advice. With a cheerful "No problem" someone in a white van will be coming out over the weekend to help me with poisoning! Oh the fun of it all.

I was on the beach at dawn with the dogs and it was quite lovely and deserted! Tried to do a "Nige" and take a couple of arty shots but failed miserably.

I think Chris and I will try to go to Osborns tomorrow as he has been working way too hard this week. I am working all day Sunday and Monday morning then off until New Year's Eve!! Catching up with Nu in London on Tuesday ( we are off to see Mathew Bourne's Nutcracker) and big family meal on Saturday at the Bistro, so at least socially things are Christmas-ing up a little more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
