Happiness is...

coming home just as it's dark and finding the bats are out flitting around the flats' garden

Should be out again tonight - it's lovely watching them zoom around and amazing to think they hang out in Hackbridge.

Keep your windows closed Amy, don't want you turning up for the club run looking pale with a couple of holes on your neck.

More likely to end up as a mince morsel for the cat

Also got to invite them in - though if they look like Eric Northman*...

*True Blood

[Amy]

oh sorry, wrong sort of vampire

I think you two are just completely bats!

Unfortunately FCC scuppered any expectations of bat watching - trains were seriously up the creek last night and I ended up going round the long way before being kicked out at Sutton...

And I thought I was lucky as I'd just had my hair cut and would've missed the train I was aiming for by a minute...

I was going to mention Captain Beaky and his crew

Not particulalry a fan of the genre per se Dom, just had a spell of catching up on some classics a while ago. Dracula isn't a long book either, a lot of older classics are pretty short (Sherlock Holmes, 39 Steps etc) but that's what makes them so good to me. Tightly packed and not a lot of padding which so many books have these days.

If you ever come to Australia, up here in Queensland we have huge, and sometimes i really mean huge! Fruit bats.
They are pretty spectacular when in a group flying over you.
They hang in the bloody palm trees in the garden and scare the beejeezuz out of you when they suddenly fly off!!

Oh the rats win hands down - or should that be paws
