Mar. 18th, 2008 11:39 pmI can has mouse. Arse.
I'm not bad about leaving food out, and I'm around in the kitchen all times of night, but this is the first time I've seen one. Also, having just swept the floor, there is nothing that looks like cardamom seed, which is my standard reference for mouse turds. So I hope it's a transient mouse and not a permanent feature (possibly due to weathering creating an access somewhere on the exterior walls this winter, plus a drop in temperature today?). I will certainly be doing my best to make it transient.
It was rather shy, poking its head around the corner of the bin, and ran away very quickly. Nonetheless I do not find it endearing, not one little bit.
That corner of the kitchen is also where there is some godawful plumbing and exposed plaster, so quite a likely access point come to think of it. Note to self: get landlord to inspect the exterior, and head down to the ironmongers tomorrow to see just how muscidal you feel.
