A game of cat and mouse...

Bonnie had a little mouse bailed up this morning...

~
she would watch it run...
~
.... flip it with her paws...
~

... twice the poor mouse huddled between this pot and the wall...

~

... Bonnie would scoop it up again then let it go...

~

... catch him by the tail... let him go...

~

... chase him some more...

~

...catch him again (I think the mouse is pleading!)...

~

... a photo opportunity - say cheese!

~

Off for another chase...

~

Gotcha!

~

I think Bonnie got sick of chasing the poor thing...poor little mousey wasn't around five minutes later.

(Disclaimer: Um yup, a mouse probably was harmed in the making of this blog.)

The only good mouse is a dead mouse...

I set 3 traps on my desk in my office last night and got 3/3 !!!!!!!!

Peanut butter is definitely a good bait. The poor little guys weren't as clever

as this little dude (lets call him Mission Impossible Mouse). I am not sure what is bringing them out, maybe there is rain on the way? or just more hot weather? They haven't been a problem before.

Good news - finally got a computer support technician to come to our house - don't know why we waited so long - and he has us up and running again. We lost nearly all our

files back in early December when we had a system error and I ran a re-installation disk which Dell told me to do - wiping practically everying!!

Any-hoo - we have internet and e-mail again so I can blog away at home to my hearts content.

I had printed out my home favourites list only days before - did I have a premonition? - so I have most blog sites listed - and I have more at work so I can copy those too.

John, the computer guy, was lovely and didn't make us feel stupid or dumb because we basically don't know much about the computer and the networks etc. He spent 2 hours with K18 and I sorting it all out.

Back in the land of home blogging - Cheers Joolz :)

A mouse in the house...

...or to be correct, my office!!!!!

A little fella like this one has been having a fine old time getting stuck into some lollies in my office.

The little bugger has eaten his way through, not one, not two, not three but FOUR Freddo Frog bars! I had no idea that mice liked chocolate. He even chewed through a peppermint boiled sweet with chocolate in the centre!

A trap has been set in his honour.

For the record, mice do not intimidate me or make me squirm, however, on the other hand, huntsmen spiders are a whole different story. A few weeks back, my office partner picked up a book off my desk and there was a lovely big fat hunty taking refuge underneath. Joe dispatched with him (after a game of catch me if you are quick enough) just before I got to work saving me from having a coronary! Good job!
