Batty bat bites the dust!

Just before I start on batty bat here's a pic of sainsbury the tabby, I somehow missed posting it when he committed the act as his sister tesco was still around and so much was going on so here is Sainsbury in hunting mode.

I think it was Sally who had opened the fridge door and he leapt in.  This was before he had leapt in the washing machine as my back was turned and had nearly 10 minutes of a washing cycle before we discovered him!!

Anyway Batty bat bites the dust, we had often seen Sainsbury looking up at next door's garage drainpipe.  This was because bats would use a gap in the eaves to fly in and out of the roof space during the night.  I spotted sainsbury on top of the roof a couple of days ago peering into the peak of the roof and could only suspect he had discoverd another exit point, here he is on the roof peak

Yesterday then i noticed a dead bat on the ground near my car and assumed it must have been he that caught it.  Here it is poor thing.

We do get quite a few flying around at night and it must annoy the hell out of him so in the end he has bagged one.  He still is set on drastically reducing the local rodent population as we find whole bodies and rather messy bits of them around the kitchen every morning! 

So after the excitement of my 15 Peaks completion and some glorious weather the last week its back to the fun factory tomorrow.   We are wearing white T shirts with Para Olympic logos on as Sainsbugs is sponsoring the event.  I have watched the odd event and think the wheelchair rugby is one of the best team sports.  For all the athletes It must be very difficult to lose a limb or have a disability, to overcome it and train as they do to such a high standard you have to take your hat off to them.   

Finally then - we have for some time used Kuoni the travel company when going on our holidays.  You know what its like you then start to get their brochures through the post.  The problem with our post code is it throws up some funny options for our address depending on what app you are using.  So after a while we would get 2 copies of each brochure then 3 etc.  I phoned and spoke to them about it but this just produced yet 1 more copy.  

I wrote a humorous complaint and we were rewarded with a hamper of "Champagne and Chocolates"  This seemed to have fixed it because only 1 brochure arrived in their next mailing.  The gremlins have returned however with us getting 6 copies of thankfully a small brochure!  so in a final attempt to sort it out I emailed SALLY BYRNE who sorted it last time and organised the hamper.  I might just send Sally a link to this blog so she can see her name up in lights.  Who knows we might get a free holiday.  - - - Mmmmmmmmmm!
