Well not something you would normally find in your shed… an opossum sleeping in a bag of dirt. Judging by his size he couldn’t have been too old, because we have seen much larger ones wandering around in the past. He seemed nice and snuggled up in the bag, but Dad wasn’t really too keen on leaving him there so Mom dragged the bag out onto the ramp and coaxed him out. As you can see, he wasn’t really very happy about being woken up in the middle of the day either. Alex, Sam and Mom all stood around and watch him walk off while Dad was questioning the logic of standing so close, but in the end he wandered off to hopefully find his family. At least he didn’t go into catatonic shock/play dead because we’re not sure what we would have done with him then. Later, when Dad was pulling the lawnmower out to mow the front yard, he realized that the little critter managed to poop on the lawnmower too – seems he had a busy night.
Later for Family dinner we had Bangers n’ Mash and Fish N’ Chips… seems Dad was watching Sky News in the workshop and thinking about all the pubs that would be closing on Thursday. Mom, of course, opted for oatmeal.
