Went for another 4:45am run this morning, and saw a big possum sitting just beside the path. I stopped to look at it and was surprised that it didn't run away. So I started saying 'here poss poss poss' to get it to come over, but didn't expect it to. But then it hurried towards me.
I stood up and started walking backwards away from it, but it kept coming, fast and determined. Next thing you know I'm running, pretty quickly, and he is following at my heels! Well, needless to say I am here to tell the tale-- he gave up the chase eventually.
In hindight it seems pretty stupid to run from a possum, but it was hard to know whether he was really friendly, or really cranky, as he had a pretty good poker face.

this made me laugh! It reminded me of the time I was terrorised by a kitty. I used to hide under my blankets and he would sit wait for me. It was really scary. Granted I was about 10, but this new cat we got really had it in for me. Fortunately my parents soon got rid of him..
4:45... that's crazy. Funny story :)
