Ah, it’s good to be back! Back to snow! Back to sunshine unimpeded by persistent smog! Back to rogue rodents in the library!
No sooner have I divested myself of my winter garb than my eye is caught by something grey lying on the floor by the mousetraps in the Archive. I approach cautiously and discover that it is in fact a large rubber rat that has been “done in” by one of the spring traps.
The saga continues ……
I’d blame it on the full moon, but who am I kidding?
