mouse - 07:44 AM
(filed under 'animal')
we have a mouse in the house. it seems the assortment of wildwife we get in & around our house is never ending. we saw it run across the floor about a week ago, but hadn't spotted it again until last night when it scared a few choice words out of me by leaping around in the pantry when i opened the door.
at first i thought it was another giant cockroach, like the that had taken up residence in the cupboard near the sink where we keep the coffee & tea type things, which i finally managed to kill the other day, even if it was unintentionally. (i was trying to catch it in an empty gherkin jar so i could simply throw it outside but i accidentally cut its head off when i threw the opening of the jar over the top of it. *shudder*)
it was much larger than the cockroach though & in the fleeting moments which i saw it, i realised it had a tail. not sure how we'll get rid of this one. there's nothing open in the pantry which it could be feeding on (although now i've said that i'd better have a close look) so it might have just been looking for food, rather than settling in for the long haul.
