i think shroom wondered why on earth i gave him a totally blank look when he walked up to me & said, "zapple keep sneeter?" of course, i was wondering what on earth "zapple keep sneeter" actually meant.
rat in the air conditioner - 05:33 PM
(filed under 'animal')
ewww. we have a rat living in our air conditioner. a few days ago we heard something scratching around in it & assumed it was our resident gekko, but i did have the thought at the time that it sounded rather rat-like.
just before, i saw what looked like a small loop of skinny black cable hanging down from the narrow gap between the wall & the air conditioner .. except that when the dog moved towards the wall, the skinny black cable disappeared back into the air conditioner. a few minutes later it was hanging down again & i managed to have a closer look. the skinny black cable was actually dark brown, tapered to a point & was hairy. definitely a rat's tail. *shudder*
it must have crawled up the air inlet or water outlet pipe from outside & made its home in there. i have no idea how we're going to get it out. god forbid that it dies in there. yick!
