Speaker 1

So we've had a nightly visitor at our house who likes to it's a very very long tail, is quite large, and likes the kitchen a great deal. Now, so how we figured out that we had a ratch friend. Let's just say that was I must have. I think I went out in the middle of the night. I went and got a glass of water and something fell out of the fridge and I was like, I'm dealing with that tomorrow. Woke up the next morning and it was a zucchini Nope, and it had been chewed like corn.

The rat had literally chewed and it was just it was big chunks. It wasn't like little dainty bites. It was like, Helen, not a fan of rats. I don't think anybody is. Is anyone a fan of rats? My brother had pet rats?

Speaker 2

Well there was one person then just.

Speaker 1

The one anyway, so Paul went and bought a super duper no, it was a hammer zucchini. It was like a torture chamber for rats.

Speaker 2

It literally that's a game. I think it's.

Speaker 1

Almost the size of like a five. This this thing was huge, right, And so this morning we came out and let's just say it worked. Okay, So he was, yeah, he was. He was having a lovely rest. And then Paul said to me, come and have a look at this. And I went, oh, oh, jeez, that's and he goes, that's not the same rat, and I went, what do you what do you mean? And he goes, there there must be another one, because I've seen another one that's bigger than that. I was like, that's like an elephant

of the rat world. But now then he said to me, can you please take it out? And I went all right, and he goes, yeah, Now he feels guilty because even though it's a rat, it's still an animal, and they've got cute little faces. Even well, it wasn't that cute, to be honest, because it was kind of scratched. But we've had, like over the years, we've had fights with rats that have last It actually became quite personal between us and this rat where we lived in Runaway Bay,

and he would jump at us. He would like like like almost like there's no care in the world, jump at us, and then we sent him on his way. That's good outside.
