It seems Myrtle has a bit of a reputation! Veronica has sent me this poster of Myrtle she found on the internet.
I have now established that if I tickle the end her tail I have enough time to move my hand before is gets flayed. I swear Myrtle is the fastest cat on the planet.
I went and looked at another house last night. Same era and vintage as the one I made the offer on (a few extra bedrooms) but really dark and depressing. My boss here at work was about to buy an investment property in Port Macquarie (where I work) and was right up to signing the contract when.... they found 2 enormous termites nests - one in the ceiling, one under the floor. It was a termite restaurant.
