Give them all chin scritches from me xxx

I currently have a Lexicat perched on my shoulders purring into my ear. She's reminding me that it's time for her lunchtime milk.

A dairy farm?

 

[Reynard]

Mum found a small skull while weeding. I think it's a rabbit skull, going by the teeth. It'll go in the box along with the fox skull I found a couple of years ago.

Can anyone suggest how to clean / preserve them?

Off to have lunch in a bit.

I'd soak them overnight in a dilute bleach or Dettol solution, Reynard, rinse them off, then leave them out in the sun for a week or two.

 

[Reynard]

Yeah, maybe... Will google later to see what the collectors of such things do. Would be a shame to ruin them.

Well I was going to tell people about something bizarre at the pond but I can't .

What bit can't you do when you try to create a new thread?

Well there are one or two knocking around here, and that's what I did with them.

Enjoy the trip, are you taking the moggie?

In that case, why not use the "Things you'd like to say but can't" thread ?

What I was trying to post is a bit of a mystery so I thought I would post a new thread of unexplained things.

The following is what I was trying to post.

I went up to our garden pond early this afternoon to top it up with water.

Whilst I was pouring 2 gallons of water from my watering can at the edge of the pond so as not to create too much disturbance. A jet of water spurted from the centre of some pond weed about 1 1/2 feet into the air. It was like a jet of water from a water pistol. The squirt of water only lasted for a second or so but I have never seen anything like it before. We tried the same thing later with my wife filming it but nothing happened .
The distance from where I was pouring the water to where the jet spouted from is about 1 yard .

 

[Illaveago]

It seems as though it could have been a frog which must have been in the weeds and was frightened by the splashing water.
To see it for the first time was surprising to say the least .

Dermestid Beetles? You can order some, you know.
