It's probably rats. Lots of rustling noises, and some scratching. I have no idea how they're getting up to the roof since our eaves are sealed. Although it's possible that they've gone in under the tiles via the gutters, since I don't think those are fully sealed anymore. We really need to get a roofer in.
Heck, we need to get a builder in to look at extensions.
But back to the rats. Dealing with them without poisoning them straight off means a process of deterrence, since they're probably eating the chook food and scraps around the place. This is not ideal, but apparently vermin are semi-expected with chickens. I can deal with the vermin, I just wish they weren't nesting in the roof. ICK.

I woke up at 5am to do my PT from 5:30am-6:30am. The waking up was not good, but the day went pretty well. Ofc, now I am zonked and about ready to go lie down.

1st November is NaNo. I've written just over 1667 words today, and while it's not great words, it hasn't been terrible either.
I now need to write a conflict between my MC and her former workplace workmates, after she left them for what they perceive as a 'rival' organisation. It's gonna be interesting.

Four days I spent trying to get this preset subroutine to work, and ended up writing a dozen lines of code that does exactly the same thing and WORKED FIRST TIME.
Now I just need to get the rest of the solution working.
--
I have a 'staycation' planned next week. Going to spend the week in an Airbnb just to avoid having to work, get away for a bit, and to focus on writing.
--
Hockey starts tomorrow night. I have the option of going running tomorrow morning and then playing two games tomorrow night, or possibly going running on Wednesday and Friday morning. Or possibly just Thursday.
Maybe we'll see how we feel after tomorrow night...
