"I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why. I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world." - Bike by Pink Floyd

Cute vole story/ journal entry Lydia! As for what I consider the band? I'm aged and ill-informed as for their development and evolution since I listened to them in my youth, but having qualified it, I'd say that they were more cerebral than most bands at that time. - Kelly

Kelly, I meant to say 70's -- a typo... What do you consider the band? ~lydia

Thanks dt, Kelly, and Lonnit. I think he's actually a vole, but close enough in my opinion when he's swimming in my pool. *grimace*

I made an entertaining photo journal about the event, actually. Here, he is sitting on the metal ring that should hold the rope dividing shallow from deep end. I did rescue him.

Here's the story if you're interested:

Excellent shot, Lydia! Is this guy in your pool? What is he sitting on? Did you rescue him after? ~ Lonnit

This little guy's tail looks like that turtle's tail! LOL - Actually, I thought he was a rat at first until I read the text... and then that got me to thinking how you've equated Pink Floyd with a rock and roll band in the 80's and how I've got them lodged in my memories as something else from the 60's... and then there's little Gerald just looking back at me resting on - what is he resting on? - Kelly

Can't you just picture this as an album cover of a rock and roll band in the 80's? *grin* Gerald. ~Lydia
