Today for the first time in ages I have sat and felt fed up with the miserable weather. It was that horrible drizzle type rain this morning. I hate that. When I took the dog out we both got soaked. I promptly had nice a shower and went back to bed and there I have stayed all day. The dog lay on top of the bed too keeping my tootsies warm. Bliss

Now the sun has come out. It is casting those wonderful late afternoon shadows on the trees making those lovely colours show up even more. I feel happier

I have a real fancy for a nice winter casserole. Beef maybe complete with lovely dumplings. Hmmmmm.... Shame I don't have anything in the fridge to make it with

I think a nice cup of strong tea complete with biscuits to dip will make me feel even happier now!

Mickey, as he has been named, seems to have been living the high life in the kitchen for a few weeks now. The dog is so daft I doubt he even noticed it or them. I went into the kitchen last week and there he was, sitting there looking at me. We both just looked at each other. I blinked and he was gone. I wasn't sure to be honest if I had actually seen this mouse or my last coffee was a tad too strong!

A few days later there he was again and this time hubby and I both saw it together. Oh my goodness, what to do! I went out and got one of those sonic sound signal things that you plug in to the wall. The sound is so high pitched that dogs, cats and humans are unable to hear it. Mice hear it and run away....but oh no, not Mickey!

The next day bait was put down. It was all eaten and they even come back for seconds.

The day after that mouse traps were used.

I didn't like that at all and in fact it rather upset me! :'(

I was instructed to buy 2 more traps on the way home today and so who knows what will happen overnight in the Mouse House :-/
