I'd rather a beer, Sarah, if you've got one....
Now the recorder's smashed, I bet the neighbours are saying "good riddance" too!
I bet you'll do great in the results, actually. Good luck.
Oh no, a rat under the floorboards? Couldn't you do a pied-piper thing with it? But, rather than lead him away with your recorder playing, you could play it in his direction and chase him off!
But, I forgot.... You've just smashed your best recorder!

Phil, perhaps you could feed one of those rats to the dog and replace it with Sarah's spare one?
