I woke to the sound of foxes having it off in our garden
Then dozed off again, waking up with a bit of a headache and a stonking bone-on. Then dozed off again and woke up with John Humphrys talking in my ear.

What happened about the strange man in your house?
What do foxes sound like when they do it?

I phoned the landlord this morning
Apparently he had told this feller to go round and check the boiler for the gas saftey record. The landlord's abroad at the moment, so it sounds like it was part of a to-do list he'd left for the strange man. I don't think he was expecting the strange man to turn up unannounced the following day, either. He apologised for that, and at least now we know the strange man had a legitimate reason for being there and having keys to our house.

The mating call of the red fox (vulpes vulpes) is a harsh sort of yelping sound, almost like a scream. To be honest, the first time I heard it, years ago, I thought somewhere in the distance a girl was being stabbed.
