Shop Log: An Unexpected Visitor

Shop's Log.  Halifax NS.  January 28th, Monday, 13:22.  Weather: Bright & sunny, -4℃.

It was quiet and peaceful in the shop...as usual...when we heard some noise in the back room.  Nobody was supposed to be there.  A peek revealed nothing out of the ordinary.  And then, there it was again!  ...a sort of fluttering sound.  Before it got any creepier, we investigated more carefully.

Finally, we found our unexpected guest!


It must have squeezed its way through the vent in the furnace room.  That's my best guess.  Every time we tried to shoo it out, it went and hid behind our stockpile of boxes.



Finally, using our butterfly nets (Yes, we keep a couple handy just for this kind of situation...he! he!), we were able to make it understand that the back door was open. 


Good-bye little guest.  Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you.  And it's not that we didn't like you.  But it was probably best that you found your way back to your friends and family.

And that was the highlight of the day!
