I now have a new little visitor to the garden. Well, it's actually one the the tiny little woodmouse chaps that Eden and I watched last weekend. He has been out in the garden several times this week even though I have removed his 'climbing' stalks.
This afternoon I was going to go out to do a little more work in the garden but the neighbours from hell next door were out in their garden and they had a CD player belting out that awful 'head banging' music at top noise level. It was so bad that within a half hour I had a migraine so decided that I would stay in, put in some ear plugs and wait for the painkillers to do their stuff.
As I went to close the back door I noticed this little cutie just outside and he was obviously looking around for something to eat. He disappeared under a pot at the speed of light when he saw me move, so I watched and waited and half a minute later he was back out. I was surprised that he wasn't deafened by the noise from next door because I could even feel the vibrations from the 'music' when I put my hand on the doorframe.
This little chap is only a baby and is about an inch and a half long with a pair of ears that are miles too big for him, so are his eyes. I threw out a few pieces of maize kernel onto the path and a minute or so later, he popped out of his hiding place and picked one up. I left him to it and came in to lie down.
The migraine's eased a bit but I know that I will have to put up with it for the next three days, so I think a telephone call to the anti-social behaviour and noise pollution department is called for tomorrow.
