Today there was a rat. In my bathroom. Well, more precisely from my perspective, there were rat droppings. In my bath. The previous owner of said poop was thankfully well hidden when I began my tentative investigations this morning.

Then I went to work and called in the Daddy cavalry.

I don't want to know the full details of what happened, but I returned to no rat and a somewhat vandalised bathroom.

Process of elimination suggests that rat arrived courtesy of a cat (one of whom, father reports saw said rat when Dad was there and ran away!). This deduction (hope) comes from there being no apparant entrance to the house and the rat bearing bitemark injuries.

Anyhoo. Bathroom is currently under a thick layer of disinfectant and I need a new loo brush and holder and my laundry needed doing promptly.

Then I went to work. I passed a grey haired older lady with a stick in the car park. I assumed she was going to Court, but as I let myself in she called to me to hold the door and sheepishly I let her in. She had Probation fobs and cards on but I couldn't see the details on them. She followed me in, then wandered off to an empty office. Policy demands that if you don't recognise someone you should request to see an ID card but I really couldn't face such a confrontation, Instead I went to reception and described the woman and asked who was expected. No one. Receptionist phoned my nice boss and said "Lola's let a murderer with a stick into the building, she's in the office next to you." There was naught but a strangled noise from nice boss as the woman walked past his office to reception.

I've spent the rest of the day being teased by everybody (except her!) about the fact that I didn't recognise our uber uber uber boss and described her as an old lady with a stick.

Thank God I didn't ID her!

Today I got 7 new cases. Which takes my caseload to 31 on a half time basis. "Average recommended caseload" is 40-50 on a full time basis. Work is fun.

This week's was ...enjoyable. It felt old school. Although I don't know I buy Danny being that disrespectful of another's culture and beliefs. Clearly he had to be to serve the story, but I guess he could have mocked the idea of ghosts without being so disrepectful about it.

I still don't like Lori, I was half tongue in cheek, half for reals outraged when Lori called Danny "Danno." and I could quite simply do without her. Is she going to be there forever? Give her something real to do, amke her a real character or get rid of her. Grr.

But all that aside, Steve and Danny argued beautifully in the car, Danny called him Stephen which is a really easy way to score brownie points I know, but it works for me everytime. They were generally wonderful to look at once more. Chin loping easily over walls, Kono balancing the respect for the priest with their friendship outside of those roles. Max is brilliant (In one way, so it's so heavy handed, "Let's make Max quirky" but I don't give a damn because he's Max and it works). Steve and Danny did things together and were paired up and it was a happy episode to watch. Oh, but Grace is back and I've already read a fic that has her growing up and away from 'her Danno'...

Although watching the man flail and burn was a bit gruesome and obviously the whole storyline was a bit weak, but hey it was an Halloween episode so it had a Get out of jail free card.

I hope we get to actually see Steve ask Danno to move in with him and it doesn't just happen.
That wasn't supposed to be a cohesive review or anything. Just a splurge of words.
