gotcha!


We got him!!


Just a shame about his furry friends, who we have spotted lots more of over the weekend! It seems there's a plague of them on this compound. One came running into our garden as we were eating on our garden patio today!! I've been swapping rat stories with several neighbours on this compound, listening with revulsion to their tales of the rats behind their oven, rats brushing against their feet as they stand cooking, rats under their bed, rats in the underpants drawer!! Am starting to count down the 5 weeks until we leave Nairobi and can say "adieu" to these rats....

  1. Whoo, reminds me of the Pied Piper od Hamelin
    : Rats, they fought dogs and killed the cats and bit the babies in their cradles and ate the soup from the cooks own ladles---------- sorry if I've misquoted the poem it's a long time since I've read it.. Ugh!
