Rats it!...I'm off!!!

.

Hi folks, tonight i wanted to show you a couple of new additions to Calv's residence.....well the garden anyway. My new birdhouse, which i bought.....and my new beehive which i made.

.
I love the birds coming into the garden, so do the kids, so i thought i'd treat them to a nice box i'd seen on the net, they are going to love this little beauty...

.

.

Some of you may remember that last year i bought a solitary beehive for my garden. It's for the bees that live on their own so you don't end up with a huge nest and swarms. Anyway i wanted to get another one, then when i looked at my other one i did what any crafter would do and said, "I could make one of those!"

.

So i did...

.

.

The individual bees make tiny nests inside the holes, it just gives them somewhere to stay. What with all the decline of bees going on in the world, i thought it would be a nice gesture. The hive is not finished yet, i want to decorate it a bit more, but i'll show you when it's done.

.

Uh Oh! Look what the cat dragged in.....and he doesn't look too happy! "Hi Rotty, hows things?"

.

.

"UNBELIEVABLE!!! What the heck do you call these then?"

.

"What? The bird house and the bee hive? Yes they are pretty fantastic aren't they? What do you think of them Rotty?"
.

"I'll tell you exactly what i think boss! I think you have gone too far this time! You buy a house for those flippin flappin things, all they do is flap about and eat things...and i'm sure they purposely aim for me sometimes yanno!"

.

"But Rotty, i can explain."

.

"Then theres the bee hive!!! You must have spent ages making that, when all they do is sting me on the backside all the time!!! Then theres Rotty here who has waited what seems like a lifetime for a certain house that i was promised!!!"

.

.

"Oh come on now Rotty me old mate, it takes a little while to make a house good enough for the likes of you".

.

"Yeah yeah, i've heard it before boss..well thats it.....I'm OFF!!!

.

.

"Rotty don't be silly mate, let's talk about this, i have started the house i promise."

.

"Boss, it's too late for words and idle promises, i've seen your handy work, let's just say i'm not entirely convinced you've even thought of my comfort lately have you? I'd have probably ended up in a cardboard box like all the other rats!"
.

"But Rotty....where will you go.....it's a big wide world out there".

.

"Bye boss....I'm a sewer rat remember, streetwise and tough as old boots, you just think about who is going to look after your stash now!"
.

.
Oh well folks, that's him gone..for now. Yet another over reaction from the drama queen that is Rotty, i'm sure he'll be back when he gets too hungry. If he had shut up for five minutes and let me get a word in, i might have given him a peek at a certain "residence in progress"...

.

.

I'm sure when his little toes get cold, i'll have something here to warm him up again some day soon :)

Thanks for stopping by, and if you see a struggling rat down your way starving and pretending to be streetwise....give him some food please. :)
