There are rats living all around here, they like to play in our garden sometimes, it’s nice to watch them. The cats get very wound up that they can’t go out and kill them but that wouldn’t be fair imo.
When I walk down the ginnel to Morrison’s the bushes are always rustling with the rats that live in them and I like to say hello. Back in the day when I still had to go into the office I’d be walking home from the tram in the dark and they’d all be out in the ginnel socialising and eating rubbish and then they’d all scatter when I appear, which I couldn’t help but take personally.
