Old bones.

I've been asked (told) to run a session at a conference again.

I've got to talk about sort of cold cases - basically, when a body is found that has clearly been there a long time. So, not cold cases in that they've been investigated, then shelved. Brand new case, old old bones. Or not so old. Anyway, it's not a topic I mind - far better than last year's! And I shouldn't complain, it is nice that people think highly enough of me to 'volunteer' me for such things.

Does mean two or three days away, though, which I'm less happy about. Speaking of, Danger, I'm off tomorrow, working Fri and Sat, off Sun to take Mycroft back to school (if he wants, given what happened as a result of us both being there last time.) so the three of us could do somethiing tomorrow, or if you want a break, Mycroft and I can do something together - go out on the bike or something?

I was sure I had other things to say...

Re bites from critters:

Around the time I got a pair of rats, I read a few suggestions about making sure you keep your tetanus immunization up to date if you have rodents, because rodents are quite likely to have tetanus bacteria on their teeth (more likely than cats or dogs, due to gnawing things, etc etc).

So I got a booster at my next physical, and I then went forth to be bitten with confidence.

Be glad if you live in a place without rabies, by the way. We had a rabies-positive _sheep_ locally, a few months ago. Probably bitten by a bat, since bats are the biggest carriers around here.
