Anti-vole screens

I got up early to vaccuum and wash floors because Gamma and I had planned to go climbing or bouldering but then we postponed it by a week bc she had a lot of work today and as it turned out so did I, instead of climbing I went to the gym, then back at home I made some noodles out of which I made aglio e olio; the noodles were a bit too fine and clumped up somewhat but it tasted good. We had green salad made with the last lettuce from our raised beds and then while I was napping Alpha asked me if had gone to the store to get anti-vole screens yet and I was like, dang I forgot and got ready to jump in my Ford Tourneo Courier Ecoboost 1.0 and run to the store to order some when I realized I could order it online so I did that and about an hour later I got an email that it was ready to be picked up so I put the cookie dough I had been working on into the refrigerator to cool while I was gone (but not long enough, they came out flat), ran to the store, picked up the 10 meters of galvanized anti-vole screening which cost about a hundred bucks which seemed like a lot but OTOH that is what (at least it feels like it) I spend weekly on cat food and cat treats and TBH the screens cannot work any worse against voles than four certain cats* do and will probably be more effective. Now I’m watching the news on TV with Alpha (Alpha and I are watching the news, Alpha is not *on* the news) and after the news the choice is either stupid rerun of some stupid detective series (German-language TV sure has a lot of detective series, so many that they run out of actors so you see the same actors in several series, once as a detective, once as the killer, or the victim) or go to bed early and I think I’ll do the latter.

*The one exception is Daisy and her mouse dispenser – she waits by a vole hill and snatches them when they stick their heads out to see if the coast is clear. I presume she eats them too – she was on my lap recently and her stomach was growling and eeping and erping like two Foley artists fighting it out.
