Somewhere among the wildlife in Kings Heath lurks a strange creature with blue paws and a strange liking for toxic fumes...
We painted our garage floor at the weekend (I say we, when I really mean James painted the floor while I provided moral support) with a really cool heavy-duty garage floor paint in a greyish blue. While we left the back door open for ventilation, something - a squirrel perhaps - crept in to the utility area, obviously enticed by the delightful odour of drying paint, and investigated the freshly-painted floor. We now have blue paw prints on the utility floor, and small voids in the paintwork on the garage floor, thanks to the strange creature.
What confused us is that the blue footprints all head _towards_ the painted section of floor - and we can't find any leading away from the painted floor. So, somehow, he/she/it got in, ran onto the floor, lept off the floor into the utility area (rotating 180 degrees in the process), before heading back onto the painted floor, then escaping (again leaving no footprints) either under the hole in the garage door or back through the utility. That is, unless he/she/it actually came in via the hole in the garage door and ran out towards the utility door... backwards.
Either way, there's a blue-pawed creature loose in the Kings Heath - better keep your paint tins shut tight!
