Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Mousia
Yesterday there was a mouse head and a little pile of entrails on the patio. I suppose I should have disposed of the remains, but I regret to say that I couldn't be arsed.
Just now, I popped out to return Lilith's latest slowworm from the bottom of the stairs to the (relative) safety of inside the composter, and found a mouse head half way down the path. Oh, I thought, someone has been thwipping it, but no: the earlier head was still there by the patio table. The entrails? They're covered with (apparantly) masticating slugs. I hadn't realised slugs were carniverous...
I suppose we should celebrate the economy of resource the Denton sisters are expressing: in the Good Old Days before Lilietha, rodents were occasionally arranged into their constituent parts, but most often just, well, dead. Intact but dead.
No more.
