Yay, Friday. Goodness me I feel as though it was only
yesterday that I said it before.
Yesterday I wrote about a programme called Springwatch. On t they had some baby ferrets that had been
rescued and will be released back into the wild when they are grown. The Man
turned and said to me, well that wouldn’t happen at home. Back in NZ they are
an introduced species and very much noxious animal. They destroy the ground
nesting birds and tree nesters as well. Unfortunately they are very widespread.
Too late to do more than continue to lay poison bait. I think they might have been seen as a
control for the massive rabbit pest population. Was not a good move. Diseases
were introduced to try to eradicate the bunnies that eat the pastureland down
to dust. A bit like the cane toads that
were brought into Australia as a pest control measure. Now that is a serious
problem. They are very nasty critters.
On the programmes there was also a segment about a farmer
who had done an emergency caesarean on a dead hare. He had seen a wriggle
within the body and what do you know he saved the baby. The odd thing was that
the hare had been killed by poison lad by the same farmer. Methinks that there is
a contradiction there.
Both The Man and I have had good days at work. We both enjoy
our job which is great as there are lots of people out there who go to work
each day with the aim of getting it over and done with as soon as possible. So I
think we have been very fortunate in our choice of employer. Mind you it took The Man good six months to
find the right one.
Our weekend activities will very much depend on the weather.
The prediction is that Saturday will be the best day. Will keep you posted.
