Shudder, shiver, tremble. Yuk.
Too close to the truth. When I was young a trip to the beach meant driving past a ‘Foxes hangout’. Or seeing dead wedge-tailed eagles hanging on a fence.
One thing about being urbanised is that we forget how barbarous the rural brigade can be.

When I was 9 my elderly white mouse (Montgomery Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin Mike Collins Charlie Degville Junior Esquire) died. In a moving ceremony we buried him in a spark plug box under Mum’s fuschia.

I love ‘Death of a mouse’. Very atmospheric. Worthy of on Oscar for “Best Rodent Horror Flick”, surely. Poor mousie. I love mousies!
Cats can be so astonishingly neat when leaving you remains. I once found a paw and an unidentified organ on my loungeroom carpet. No blood or gore or anything else. Very mysterious.

PS My ‘Buzz’ nickname comes from Buzz Lightyear (“to infinity and beyond”) not Buzz Aldrin.
