House Mouse

Caught a mouse last week and set it free in a local park. After moving a sofa we found that it had bee residing in a slipper ...it had been snuggling up in there ...aaaahhhh. Also, it  had eaten plenty of the hazelnuts from the nut bowl we kept on a wooden chest in the conservatory. One morning I came down at 3.30 am to hear it gnawing a hazelnut noisily behind the dish washer. The vision of Pele or Beckaham dribbling it several meters from the nut bowl to the kitchen makes me laugh! Think it was a wood mouse, very common around here.
