I was peacefully watching the TV yesterday evening, quietly contemplating bedtime but enjoying the program.
It wasn't really a Jim program and he was dozing quietly.
Suddenly there was a slight commotion.
What in God's name is that, yelled Jim
There was something leaping up onto the flywire screen outside the front window. It couldn't get a grip and fell off. It tried again. Fell off again.
Wotizit? demanded Jim.
It was a small possum. I am not sure what it was doing in our front yard, nor why it was trying to climb up the wire screen. But we are at the top of a cul de sac. If you come up the driveway as far as our lounge room, you can't go any further. The fences are all made of metal and possums can't climb up them. I assume it had wandered up the driveway, found itself at a dead end and decided to head up for the roof.
It failed spectacularly and disappeared down the driveway.
I can't say I have ever seen a possum trying to climb up a window screen before.
Just as well it was a small one. If it had been a full sized ring tailed possum it would have shredded the flywire!
