We have enough bleach (several years supply in fact).

We have enough pan scourers

We have enough bin bags

We have enough bin liners

We have enough water filters

We have enough tissues

We have enough cat food (particularly since we no longer have a cat)

We have enough carrier bags

We have enough dusters

We have enough shredded newspaper

We have enough mouse shit

Well, actually we have more than enough mouse shit, but not nearly enough disinfectant, nor vacuum cleaner bags, because I am going to have to chuck it when I am done cleaning out the cupboard under our sink.

Jax and Big set off this morning with two sprung traps, one of which is a definite catch – the other was a tad light, and didn’t rattle when I shook it 👿 so maybe a baby inside or a very crafty adult outside.

And I am listening to…. The Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. “Smoke On the Water” right now.

And how is your day?

    LOL it’s that time of year again isn’t it? WE have a big ball of suspicious-looking fluff coming out of our kitchen armchair, but no other ominous signs as yet. I will investigate, honest! Just, later… 😉

    I’m glad you have enough shredded newspaper, as if you didn’t have enough I was going to send you some. One job fewer to do – thanks Tim.

    Thanks Bob, that is very kind of you. Should we at any time feel a need for extra shredded newspaper, you will certainly be the first person we think of asking for help.
