Well, a couple of days of hard work on the house clean up project. It's what my Scottish friends would refer to as "a fair bit o' graft".
After a while you become cautious. You haul things out into the light before exploring too closely. Hmmm, this seems OK.
Wait a minute. What's that little pile of stuff????
Sawdust and mouse droppings. So lets open that drawer very carefully............
We're in the clear this time, but there were some unexpected scares earlier, when indignant mice jumped out of things we were trying to move. Exciting. Especially as we'd had a couple of beers and watched an episode of "Alien Earth" the night before. Really puts you on edge regards things jumping unexpectedly.
Fortunately in your part of North America mice don't leave the same infectious surprises behind that the snowbirds are (or should be) concerned about.
ReplyDeleteYou speak perhaps of Hanta virus. Uncommon, but I know of a case occurring a few miles from my home.
