It's never a good start to the day when there's a queue of drivers outside the office at 7am and the first one has a problem with the paperwork and speaks no English.

What you need is something along the lines of a pitcher plant with a slippery neck but with a gas turbine at the base !Parental unit's prescription dropped off, and a gallon of chainsaw oil bought.
The agricultural engineering place did have rat traps, but not the ones I wanted. I don't want a live trap, the cheap plastic ones are useless (The Big Cheese - waste of money), and I don't want to be putting poison bait down.
Off to Screwfix tomorrow, methinks. And take a load of stuff to the tip, as that's just round the corner from Screwfix.
Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways, time for aand a smackerel of something.

Back to working in the village shop again. Managers handwriting indecipherable which gives me plenty of plausible deniability if I forget to do something...
Longer commute tomorrow, and more working on bikes...

On the city farm I worked at you could hear the rats running under the floorboards in the main building. We had an official rat catcher on the team, and occasionally I would be called on to burn a rat in the workshop furnace.
Once some of the kids met the rat catcher carrying a deceased rat for his cremation. My colleague ended up having to dig a grave and officiate at a funeral.

Distilleries and maltings tend to have lots of rats. Sometimes they got caught in the conveyor and ended up in the grist mill. You heard a thump and a flat rat shot out into the mash tun. Added to the flavour.

Still rain but so far no worse than yesterday. Colder so I think the stove will have to go on earlier today.
Need to go and brave the pharmacy which was shut down last week due to staff with covid.

Morning.
Grey but dry here this morning .
I've been told that a steam train may be going down the GWR line here today at 12.40. Mayflower is supposed to be the steam engine . It should be heading towards Bath from London . I thought it was going to go on the Great Bedwin route to the South and come into Bath from Bradford on Avon . I will try to go down to see it .

I have cleaned up the camera that I bought at the boot sale . I need to take it over to my brother's to borrow his battery and lens to see if it works. He has a Nikon D70s.

Seller who's sent the wrong wheel wants it back. Presumably he'll re-list both and hope they sell for more.
