Unexpected visitor!
Originally tagged onto 'Good morning' thread - probably more appropriate in here.Found the little Harvest Mouse - cowering under the refrigerator - gave it a good talking to on the evils of trespassing and put it back outside.
Have fixed some fine wire mesh over the outlet pipe so it cannot come back in ... in theory anyway.
Invited the cats to watch me catch the mouse - so they would know how it's done - they didn't want to know - said they far were far too busy sleeping off their breakfast and, anyway, isn't that why they have staff?
Hey ho - will have a cup of tea then heave the refrigerator and washing machine back into place under the worktop.

Well done Tabs.
You'll have to get him a new SatNav if he pops in again.
