An update on the various conflicts I am currently having with nature:
Moles
- I think I can officially declare victory! The mole was captured by one of the scissor traps. Just the one mole - but there haven't been any new molehills since. Fingers crossed, this particular war is over. Thank god. The yard definitely shows the scars of battle - that's impressive work by the little bugger if he (or she) was the only one to do all this.
Insects
- My goodness me, with the amount of insect bites I have you'd think I'd have developed some kind of super power. But no, just a lot of discomfort and irritation. Last night, I got a big bite right in the middle of my chest. How the hell did that happen? I think the only time I wasn't wearing a t-shirt was when I had a shower. Unbelievable.
Crows
- Well, this is an interesting one. I have a new secret weapon, and since I deployed it I haven't had any issues with crows waking me up by making a load of noise right outside my bedroom window. Say hello to Histor (congratulations if you get my obscure 90's TV reference!):
Apparently, the crows don't like this when I leave it out! However, I'm not sure if it's politically insensitive of me to hang the crow up like its been lynched...
