Souricide

Up before eight. Plug in all the machines, put on the kettle, get out the breakfast food; and tape up the garbage bin. One of the mice has had a fruitful night. It has managed to climb into our large metal garbage bin. Quite a feat as it is a pedal bin that requires the application of a foot to get the lid open. And now it can’t get out. I have helped by sealing it shut with gaffer tape. But can’t consider what to do until I have had a cup of tea.

Another no painting day. I am going to get the house ready for David’s arrival, meet Tony with more strimming instructions, shop for electronic bits, plus food (our supermarket in Vernoux isn’t really good enough) in Valence. And get a list of cars that our Peugeot dealer is assembling for us to see.
