Thank you for your swift reply Sweetie Pie from Dorset.
Yes I should have taken all the mice to Specsavers and had them checked out before I started using them, silly me.
My nephew grew up in London, he used to play marbles on the street with this Greek kid, the nephew was very lucky at marbles but he kept coming home with black eyes, the Greek kid always wanted his marbles back.
Superstitions.
I admit to having a few, then again there are other superstitions that wouldn’t bother me at all, like I don’t mind walking under ladders, Friday the 13th, opening umbrellas in the house, and many more.
One big superstition I have however is that Opal stones are unlucky, I will not work with them, will not repair a piece of jewellery that has Opals in it either. I’ve had two bad experiences with them in my working life and that put the lid on Opals for me for good. The incidences are too long to relate, besides I want to forget them forever, but believe me they are very true, scary stuff indeed. I typed a note about what I thought of these stones and filed it away somewhere, if I find it I’ll post it later.
Horse Racing folks are very superstitious I find, so are a lot of show business people, Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!

Reminds me of the USA kid who wanted his pullover back.
