Despite the security at my place of work intruders have been detected. Unauthorised visitors have been found wandering the coridors without the requisite credentials on previous occasions. Action has been taken, the authorities called in and the unwelcome guests sent packing. However try as the powers that be might, intruders keep breaking through our security barriers.
Things have gone missing from the filing cabinets and drawers. The unwelcome guests are circumspect being rarely seen. They generally operate in darkness when all good people and true are safely tucked up in their beds. However, on occasions colleagues have caught a glimse of the intruders, a mere flash of movement but none the less a sighting which is logged with the authorities. I think that the time has come to call in the services of that most stern of enforcers, Mr C, for with his powerful spring, sharp teeth and claws he will, surely rid the building of these pesky mice!

Cheers for the tag Kev, it is much appreciated! Kevin

Yikes! I do admire the stealth and ingenuity of the little buggers though.
I agree, its amazing how they can find there way into closed drawers! There is a tradition in my office of people bringing in cakes and other tasty food which encourages our furry friends no end! I am sure that if Trigger saw one he would be off in hot pursuit although I doubt very much that he would catch a mouse! Kevin
I love that he’d try though. Yes I remember working in offices like that. Full of women bringing in sweet treats to celebrate virtually anything and then constantly foisting them toward my desk because I’m “so skinny!” er, maybe because I don’t have a sugar obsession! Maybe it’s natural for women to want to fatten up the slim one to level the playingfield, in their view. Forgive my mini rant, I just don’t get other chicks!
We had a mouse problem in our ceiling until two 4 foot brown snakes took up residence for a wee while. The snakes and mice are now gone. A great tail/tale Kevin. As an aside what many people don’t know is you can get an eye disease from mouse and rat urine. I had trouble with mice in a house I lived in 20 years ago, I came out to the kitchen for a drink and the little buggers had peed all over the cutlery in the drainer. Yuk.
Hi Laurie,
That is an interesting story. Were the snakes poisonous? I guess having venomous reptiles and disease carrying rodents in residence is rather like being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea! I knew that rats and mice could cause disease but I didn’t know about eye infections being spread by them. Kevin
Brown snakes are probably the third most venomous snake in the world, Kevin. We get the odd one back now and then. Every cloud has a silver lining. 🙂
