Rats

I think I must have been tempting fate by writing the post about animals the other day. I woke up in the middle of friday night to some strange rustling noises. After a few minutes of thinking it must be a cat, then remembering there wasn't a cat in the house, then hearing screetching noises, I realised I was sharing my room with a rat. The rains have flooded the rivers and forced the rats up higher than normal and into the houses. I heard it rummaging around in the chest of drawers for hours. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much for the rest of the evening!
