@KathyBurke So I hear rustling in the press under the sink.
And say to Val - there's that mouse.
I bang hard on the door and open it. I gingerly extract the Hunky Dorys (assorted) from where I've hidden them on my sedated self. Christ, I announce. The 2 bags of cheese and onion are empty! 🧀

@KathyBurke 2. And Val (Professor Clouseau) announces it could be a fault in the factory & bag wasn't filled
Ahem
Well, how do you explain this then? & present the arse of a Ryan's Sliced pan from the cooker I use as a shelf
The corner is gone and there are 2 tiny circles of bread missing.

@KathyBurke @valerievaleraaa 3. She examines the packet minutely for minutes. Ah, says she. This isn't chewed, it's been burnt on the ring while you made coffee. Dear reader, I believed her. Until I found mouse shit on top of the microwave. There's a mouse in this house I announce to Imogen who tells me to
@KathyBurke @valerievaleraaa 4. get a trap fairly lively
I shan't kill him I screech
Get a humane one & check it every 20 mins she says through a plume of smoke
I'll release him under the Friary tree across the Street
She laughs hard
"He'll be home before you"
I laugh hard
I don't get to pick what lives.

@KathyBurke @valerievaleraaa 5. And then my 90 year old Da Tom tells me to seal the crack at the cooker where he is coming in for heat. I used parchment paper and tinfoil. And then had to resort to shouting get out mouse every time I went in when he waved the roll of paper around.
The mouse, not my Da.
The mouse, not my Da.
@KathyBurke @valerievaleraaa Late at night the kitchen is as quiet as a mouse, which enabled me to hear him rustling in the bread I forgot to take off the cooker as I struggled to recall 3 days of chaos in a diary. I ran away from the table shouting get out mouse. And he did. I peeped around the corner and
@KathyBurke @valerievaleraaa 7. Saw the tiniest fastest piece of grey fluff with a tail like a shoelace disappear down behind the sink in a blur
