Hello, possum!

[deathpixie]

Forgot to mention that last night I sprung one of the ringtail possums living in my roof on his way out for the evening. I went to hang something up on the line on the back balcony, and there he was, shimmying down the drainpipe, looking at me for all the world like a teenager being caught ducking out the window when they've been grounded. That whole "Oh, crap," expression. I let him go with an admonishment to not go picking fights with the neighbourhood cats and to not get silly on fermented fruit from the local grocer's. And to be home by dawn, young man.

*grins* My possums are so very cute. I hope the next tenants are nice to them; I'd be very cross if anything happened, especially since they don't do any harm at all.
