You know something, I am rude. I just realised that I never answered your question about the rat I saw last week. Well, this one was most definitely a norvegicus. All the times I've gone back to that park since I've kept an eye out in case my little friend chooses to show himself/herself again, but so far it's doing a pretty good job of keeping itself concealed. Can't blame it, I guess. There are still lots of geese about though. Some time soon I ought to go back to Campus and visit Muriel again.
