We've Got Bats!

Shack life's been relatively slow these last few days. On Thursday morning I was put to work in the mud, lowering a huge mound of dirt in the back of our shed to make a nicer walking path. It wasn't very pleasant work, fortunately it only took me about an hour and a half.

Just before supper that evening, I was going to make some frozen vegetables when I realized that all we really had for frozen vegetables was about a third of a bag of green beans. To remedy this woeful situation, I got on my bike, rode to the local Safeway and came home with 3 kilograms of frozen vegetables (1 kg peas, 1 corn and 1 brussels sprouts). We had some deliciously microwaved peas with our supper.

Later that night, the family was sitting around in our TV-ish room, when suddenly my Mother thought she heard a noise coming from just outside the room (but outside of the house, not inside). Our conclusion was that there are probably bats inhabiting the bat house that is affixed to the Shack, which we've never done anything with, so I suppose bats have made use of it!

Friday and Saturday have been quiet days around the Shack. I haven't been lowering any more mounds lately. The Fussball scores will not be updated today, at Dad's request. I am going to be gone from tomorrow until Friday the 28th, so there will be no future updates until then.
