Mouse parties.

While I have been away I suspect Will has been throwing 'mouse parties.'I noticed huge lumps nibbled out of the washing up sponge at teatime yesterday.I woke once in the night and heard something scuttle loudly across the floor but today watched as a tiny little mouse crept out of a hole in the wall by the window and started to explore the windowsill in full view and broad daylight.Later there was a scuffling in the ceiling above my head and I looked up to spy a much larger mouse bum hanging out of a gap between the roofing tin and wooden beam. It disappeared but moments later reappeared and as brazen as you like crawled along the vertical side of the beam for a bit before disappearing into another hole.I can actually see one right now scuttling about under the futon sofa under the verandah!Winter is coming and they will be searching for a warmer abode. The Englishman in me is tempted to put out traps and be rid of them since sharing your house with vermin is simply not the done thing...but....I am not sure if it is me turning 'Aussie' but part of me feels, 'Well, I am the intruder here' and I am tempted to let them get on with it as long as it doesn't affect us too greatly.We will see.
