So I spent much of yesterday afternoon power washing the exterior of the house to get rid of bat scat aka guano. You don't really want it sitting on your paint job, otherwise it'll end up discolouring.
It's clear these furry little guys (and gals) are really into a diet of fruit. Unfortunately, they seem to love to strafe the west side of our house (with a few errant bombings on other walls). I've seen it before - but that was on *other* people's walls, not mine. I'm not so smug now.
Okay, nearly wore out the pressure washer, but job done. Just in time for dinner (steaks and blue-cheese filled mushrooms on the braai, together with cherry tomatoes with garlic, rosemary and balsamic vinegar roasted in the oven).
This afternoon, working in the garden, I look up. That was a mistake - I should have just kept my head down and kept weeding. "What?!?!" All my good work yesterday, spraying to the top of our 2nd floor windows no less, has been completely undone. Yes, that's right, Dr. Seuss fans, the scat came back the very next day....
Guess I'll just have to wait until the tree fruit is all gone - grrr!
