Today Laura came , as she always does on a Wednesday, to do the cleaning and all the other bits of caring that she always does.
Today is, "Put out the re-cycling " Day. She moved the bags out prior to emptying and prior to mopping floor.
Then she spotted it/them ! Mouse droppings !!!!
Now, I used to catch the mice that Meggie brought in, they were always alive ...... grrrrrrh !!! But I caught them by chasing around with the colander,trapping them (eventually), and taking them up to the field above the house.
Well, I say this is what I did... I did, except for once ,when she managed to bring in two on one rainy night. The first was dispatched into the field but the second, when I had caught it, was thrown through the kitchen window, quite a drop onto the pavement !!! Sorry mouse.... but I wasn't going to get wet again.
What I hadn't realised was that someone was walking up the pavement and the mouse dropped very close to him !! OOOps !!!
So when I say I did this once , I mean, I did only do it the once !!
Anyway back to the kitchen clean today. Laura reckons there were mouse droppings.. Me, I prefer to think it was a stray coffee ground or dried herb.
Much better for me to think this than have to formulate the action plan for catching a mouse with the colander from a wheel-chair !
