I'm taking a holiday. Yes, clearing off for a whole two weeks. It will be the first time I've left the Rat and Mouse to fend for itself since May 2004... which is why I've decided not to let the Rat and Mouse fend for itself. Say "hi" to Rat and Mouse stand-in blogger Gilbert Gazunder, who will be posting in my absence. I know for a fact that he's very keen that Rat and Mouse readers share their grubbiest property porn with him - so don't be selfish with the smut, send your favourite particulars to the usual address and make a sick man very happy.
