Drop off on the way

This morning on the way to school we stopped in a layby to drop off a couple of unwanted passengers. Turned out there was only one to drop off, and he was kind of shy. I opened the trap, nothing. Gentle shake, still nothing. Then I had the horrible thought that maybe I actually had a dead mouse in there, so I turned the trap to look in, and the little so and so leapt out at me.

Cue girly shriek, probably much to the amusement of the two blokes sitting in the white van at the other end of the layby. Mouse runs under car, then turns about and hops off into the grass. He seemed reasonably happy to be free 🙂

Quite enough excitement for one morning I think.
