The good news!
Wednesday night. We caught a mouse, by hand, in a tupperware pot. It was hiding behind the bread bin so we chased it into a tupperware pot by waving a wooden spoon at it. Then we threw a tea towel over the top and admired how cute it was, and how pretty it's little hands are (see fuzzy picture taken on mobile phone). Then we set it free outside. A great moment. Hopefully that's the end of the mouse saga.
The bad news!
Friday morning. There was a little very still tail poking out of the zapper this morning. I had to have sit down before I opened the lid to examine the dead mouse. I had convinced myself that there was only one mouse and we had caught it. I am sure anyone with mouse experience is chuckling at my naivety. I don't want to have mice any more.
