I Rat

A very, very short entry today, as I’m afraid I might have a mild case of heat stroke. Or maybe I’m just a little tired out.

Anyway, at dinner, as we were finishing our beans and dough, a tremendous clunking was heard in the kitchen. We ran to look and were confronted by a humongous rat. It was almost the size of small dog and probably far stronger. The rat, not at all fazed by the company, continued with his merry task of making off with a whole jar of peanut butter. I’ve no idea how he was planning to open it but, again, the rat was not fazed. He would have got away with it too if weren’t for our speedy cook, who wrestled the peanut butter from his slavering fangs. Now the kitchen surfaces are empty and everything is locked away in sturdy boxes. Next time, rat, come at night.

In other news, I saw a Kingfisher.
