A really amazing story ... honest!

There's a fox loose aboot this hoose!
I know I call this blog Dave's Absolutely Amazing Adventures, but in my most honest moments even I must accept that it isn't always truly amazing. Not even exciting. Sometimes downright dull, even.
But this week, dear readers, I bring you a genuine exclusive - a tale of such excitement that it will have you on the edge of your seats.
Yesterday morning (during an unusual break in the endless rain) I nipped downstairs to hang out some washing. On coming back I heard my cat snarling away, so I assumed that another cat had nipped in to steal his food.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, however, I got a bit of a shock. Standing at the top of the stairs was a young fox, which quickly ran into the house. I managed to get upstairs to shut most of the room doors and trapped the fox in my living room, but was then faced with a slight dilemma (i.e. what the f*ck do I do now?)
I edged closer to the animal - which was obviously feeling cornered and getting a bit distressed - though mindful that getting bitten was probably not a good idea. There was a brief stand-off - fox and me staring into each others eyes at a range of about six feet - before he bolted past me to the open door, and freedom.
No damage done, and Reynard lives to fight another day. I've mentioned before that I love watching the foxes at play in the garden, especially the young cubs, but this was just a wee bit too close to home!
So there you are, a real adventure - and like the true professional snapper that I am I even got a picture to prove it!
I can't promise quite as much excitement next week - could you handle it? - but who knows, look forward next week to The Strange Episode of the Wildebeest in the Kitchen ... !
