Mad M*th, Mad Cat...
So it's a nice evening.
So I've been sat here in the office with the windows open. So several m*ths fly in. Several m*ths are doing the dance of the mad m*th round the light fittings. Marble is going nuts. He can't decide which loud flutter and whirr he should pounce for first. His brain cell can't cope with it ;-) Cheers, helen s |

At first I thought Waffles was doing your taxes or maybe "Phowr" you were watching the Swedish bicycle trials again and Waffles was upset by all the lap times. Now it all makes purrfect sense. |

At the time, the auditorium building at Campbellsville College had neither air conditioning or window screens, so we had a lot of moths circling around the spotlights. One night, a bat came in to chase moths, and upstaged the actors for 10 minutes or so until it had eaten its fill, or at least had eaten all of the tastier moths. -- John F.

You had all the joys of outdoor theater, but indoors. Sounds like what used to happen when I played in an orchestra, and we had outdoor concerts in the summer. After an initial weirdness, we got used to the bats, and I even got to like them. My favorite thing was the family of racoons that marched across the stage and got a standing ovation.

It's been nice and warm here, too, and I had the windows open all day yesterday. Some little bug or other had come inside, and when I'd gone to bed in the evening, Miranda and Caliban thundered around the flat in pursuit of it. For two little kittens, they did a remarkable impression of a herd of wildebeest thundering over the veldt. Frank lay on the pillow next to mine and rolled his eyes at 'the kids'. (Yay! Frank is back on the pillow after a couple of weeks in the sauna!) -- Marina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.
