That i totally forgot to post about. Sheesh.
The first is the anniversary of my LJ. On the 25th of April, 2004, I created my LJ! Nine years. NINE. Wow. I have met *so many* amazing people (and people that, as far as i'm concerned, are family) - read so much incredible fic, engaged in so many interesting and enlightening discussions, seen so many things....
Having this journal has been one of the best things ever.
The second is - as of about May 23rd or so, we have been living in our lovely stone house for five years. Whooo! I love it more every day. I am *not* loving the stupid freaking bats that are apparently roosting in the attic/eaves and pooping all over the front steps. Thank you, stupid bats, for making me sweep up your poop every day. That must change.
But we have a wren pair nesting in the wren house for the fifth year in a row, the rose of sharon bushes along the fence are even bigger now, there's a *mulberry* tree, where the hell did *that* come from?, and the wee maple i planted the first year we moved here is now taller than the Bebe.
I think it's about time for new curtains, though. They're looking a bit the worse for wear, thankyouverymuch, Jack, for climbing them repeatedly.
All in all - two very good anniversaries. :)
In other news - i've been watching past seasons of 'MasterChef: Australia'. Its very different than the US version, and in some ways *far* superior. I'm enjoying it.

Strange to think it's been 10 years since Buffy went off the air. I still haven't found a show that's as addictive to me and I fear I never will (probably because I'm too jaded after decades of TV watching *sigh*).
I guess you'll have to go over your attic inch by inch to find where they come in and seal the holes. Good Luck.

I'm pretty sure they're coming in the attic windows - there's no glass or screens, just a wooden sort of...lattice. I just dunno if they're in the *attic*, or if they're up in the eaves somehow where we just won't be able to get to them. The house is too tall - we have *no* ladder that reaches that high.
Eh, we shall see.
