Hi there, David!

A nice little earner for a fit young pensioner. Open a Mole Rescue Center for the Benefit of Retired Diggers, as also for the Little People!

Don't think I'll be making a living molecatching, Christine, definitely two dirty diggers at work still, and no wictims, aar. My "method", if you can call it that, (stealth, guile and patience) would entail camping on the client's lawn for days, possibly weeks, a circumstance which I daresay they might find worse than moles, heh heh, campfire, latrine, wild midnight hoolies etc etc. Nice idea for a little retirement income tho, Cheers, D

True, not much dark at these latitudes at this time o' year, not exactly Land of the Midnight Sun, but loads of time for barbying and Night Swimming (requires a quiet night...), keeps you up late and wakes you early. One of those shimmering nights tonight, and I can smell the barley, nice!
