cheek! 2 June 2009
The visiting mouse is giving me the run-around. I set the humane trap yesterday during the day and with little hope of him turning up in daylight – I thought him a nocturnal chap/chapette. I didn’t have any peanut butter at the time so put some chocolate on the back wall of the device with a little halfway up to tempt him in and further…i hoped…well, when I came home I discovered he’d been and gone, had snaffled the choc I’d put halfway along and scarpered again, but not without leaving 2 small poos by the trap to signify his visit. Cheeky blighter. I have purchased peanut butter and it’s in situ now…no sign at all of the wretch today…
My mum was on duty in Dublin for the long weekend and reports that the house ain’t finished yet and there are quite a few problems raising their heads all the time. Lights tripping. Main water tank too full constantly and overflowing through the outlet pipe, thereby invading my rainwater butts and signifying another problem with the ball-cock surely…I can’t believe how many things go wrong all at once, not to mention stuff not getting done. The builders have been with us a year…on a 5 month job. Before you ask, the job was priced as the job and not by the time so it’s all round frustrating for all involved. ARGH! I am glad to be away working or I might have committed a dire unlawful act by now…
