AT HOME WITH MOTHER..

I expected HER to go out and leave ME today.. for old sun was a'shining but SHE had other plans.

They involved sorting out a cupboard.. a very large cupboard. Full of old work files, photos and photographic stuff. And other stuff.. 

The things SHE found! A never opened complete Rigaud candle set, two pairs of wooden candles that are electrified and that fit into candlesticks, an old address book that SHE knew was somewhere.. HER Canon photo printer, two sets of the special ink cartridges and the glossy paper.

But, on the bottom shelves and luckily everything was packed in boxes, it appears that Mister and Mrs Mouse have been living rent free and eating MY bird food!

I wondered where MY monkey nuts disappeared to and now WE know.. there was a huge stash of them inside the cupboard! Some still waiting to be eaten.

But they are there no longer, for fierce Mr.Dyson and his trusty hose took them all away and now the room smells like a Wrigley's chewing gum factory!

Mice do not like the smell of peppermint, so after SHE washed and disinfected the boxes and the shelves, lots of the Essential Oil of Peppermint was put onto cotton balls and these have been placed in the cupboard.

SHE is out tomorrow, but not for all the day, WE will have lunch together, then I will go to a quiet spot and doze whilst SHE does what humans do.

But never fear.. For in YumYum HQ is a big stash of MY favourite bread, lots of eggs and fruit and a big pot of chick-the-licken soup, I had some of this warmed up for supper, it is truly delicious with carrots, onions, celery, garlic and, of course, bones. I am partial to bones as they are good for Beaky.

But it is almost MY bedtime and tonight I have a bowl of green grapes should I feel peckish in the night, I think that is when norty mouse has been stealing MY bird food. 

Sneaky thieves! Well, they won't be at all happy when they go back and find that their secret place has vacuumed out, that there are no more nuts and I certainly don't think they will approve of green grapes as an alternative!

Tough.. WE want them to pack their bags and go. I am going too but I will be back again tomorrow.
