THERE'S A THIEVING MOUSE IN OUR HOUSE!

Not a joke.. about three weeks sgo she went out to supper wearing a pretty pair of amber tear drop earrings, upon returning home and before going to bed, she removed the earrings and left them, as she always does, in a small Tibetan bowl that sits on her desk.

The next day she had things to do and people to see and didn't think about putting the earrings back into their rightful place until late in the evening.. but when she went to the bowl.. how weird? For there were the two butterfly clips but only one earring and it was nowhere to be found or seen.

Today she went out at midday and came back too late to go to the allotments and as the weather was iffy, to say the least, the idea of a bit of Autumn cleaning came to mind. She opened the boiler room door and brought out the carpet cleaner, checked the filters were clean, filled the tank and went into our bedroom.

Brrrmm.. such a great machine! Despite the fact that it uses water and not steam, the suction power of this Bissell EasyWash is such that the carpets are almost dry when you finish. Having put the rug back, she did that as well. Then after moving a couple of little storage boxes, she turned on a table light and went to do underneath the table upon which my cage sits.

Huh.. Master or Miss Mouse has been sitting here munching stolen Monkey Nuts.. for there were the empty shells but WHAT was that! And there, yes, you've got it, there was the missing earring and a tiny piece of crystal that she hadn't missed that also lives on her desk!

Now, she hadn't flung it there, the butterfly clip had been in the bowl and most strangely of all, the pin on the earring had been bent as if someone had been trying to .... who knows! But she did sterilise it quite carefully before she put it away in its' box with its' twin.

Strange things happen in our home which aren't explainable, I'll tell you about them instead and see if any of you can fathom them out.. for we can't!

Monday tomorrow.. I wonder how her weigh-in will go? I'll tell you when she comes back home. But we've got to go 'cos she got a scary book to read and it's nearly my bedtime. But we do have to play at least one game of chase the almond before then.. so PipPip.

GeeGee Parrot.
