Stamped: July 18th, 2006

ok so betty was “sleeping” this morning when we arose. but! then i
discovered someone had been eating my PORRIDGE and it wasn’t betty
cos she was (a) in a jar (b) expired, defunct, no longer with us.

there was a nest in the “let’s not go there” cupboard in the kitchen,
so i excavated the cupboard and briefly captured a mouse, who escaped
because i was too slack to get proper mouse capturing equipment
first. i want a pair of leather gloves (fearing we’ll be dealing with
rats soon enough) and a big steel grippy thing. that’s not a kitchen
implement.

so the nest was purged, gosh they’re good at shredding paper, and the
mouse escaped under the fridge to fight another day.

she is number seven. i am more and more tempted by a box of TALON.
