Yikes!

I'm just sitting here, in the house, quietly writing and I hear what I thought was the cats behind me eating some food I put on the floor of the kitchen a while ago. I mutter something about how they they don't usually eat that loudly and turn around to see the biggest rat ever! My first though is "I didn't think they had opossums in Uganda".  I quickly closed the door, chased it into my room, then smashed it with the mop. I had to hit it more than once and I've wrecked my mop.  But it is dead. The cats were both hiding under the bed.  In their defense however the rat really does weigh more than they do.

Right then. Time to get that screen door fixed....

Per the brother's request here are a few more pictures.
