We had an eventful night last night.
After taking ages to get to sleep an almighty crash woke me and a cub up about 1.30am. Bloody possum had got inside and knocked everything down off the sink! Made a mess but nothing was broken.
Cub said he saw something zip off towards my room... Tch. Couldn't spot the blessed thing so tidied up then went back to bed, thinking the damn possum could find its own way out. KittenKong wisely stayed out of the way: rats and mice are one thing but tackling something as big as herself was something else entirely.

At some point later I heard noises in the bathroom and assumed the critter was nosing about in there, knocking things over but wasn't so concerned I could be arsed getting out of bed again.
Of course, after the broken sleep I had trouble waking up so the annoying secondary alarm went off without me noticing the primary alarm at all. Fortunately I was rostered out at the fishpond campus - which perversely is the one furthest away but cos the parking is better I can leave the house later - so reset the alarm and got a bit more sleep.

When I eventually dragged myself out of bed...
Yep, piles of possum poos and puddles of possum wee in the kitchen and bathroom were testimony to the activity of our 'guest', that and the knocked over potplants in the bathroom. [grump]. I missed breakfast but managed to clean up the ick before I had to leave for work.

I hope the possum got itself out of the house last night, I really do. Cos of course if it didn't it'll wake up once all the lights are off and go rampaging again. [sigh] Eh well, if there's fresh poo and wee tomorrow I'll know.
Mind you, I had an interesting dream cos of all this. The possum in my dream was more like a cross between a joey - baby kangaroo - and a squirrel. It was called 'Squidge'...
