Noises Off and a New Trainer

At 5 this morning We were All rudely awoken by Sounds on the Roof. He said it was birds, She said it was rats then changed Her mind to squirrels because it was so loud. Personally speaking Myself didn't really care one way or the other, simply wished whatever it was would Stop. Eventually He got out of bed and shut the window which made no difference whatsoever so a little later He opened it again.

It was like the soundtrack to a cartoon: Cackling chickens (one had laid an egg); the BBC (very excited about the egg too); a pair of fighting starlings; a frog; singing blackbirds and robins; and then Whatever It Was back on the roof again. She moaned as well and then went downstairs to make some coffee.

TB has acquired another Throwing Shoe. Went out yesterday afternoon and returned happily with a fairly new, very clean, white trainer. 'Tis no longer clean nor white, but has been enthusiastically chewed and tossed all over the place. (Wonder if the previous owner will want it back?) TB tried shaking it from side to side but it ended up in a rose bush which made it very difficult for TB to retrieve.
