The mouse is dead
The mouse is dead. It was caught in a Little Nipper baited with the Lidl version of a Bounty Bar; which was Bev's suggestion and proves she is not just a pretty face.
I do not much like the Little Nipper, it is made with two, rather than one, pieces of wood, with the smaller one being the trigger; which fires as soon as the mouse puts its paws on the trap; so more likely to catch, but it means that the killer wire lands on the nose; so not necessarily a quick kill. On the other hand I did hear two noises in quick succession, and the mouse had a flat side; which suggests the trap flung itself and mouse through the air and against a cabinet; which almost certainly killed in two beats.
I have changed my diet almost by accident. I am eating differently, and a little less, and have been feeling hungry for long periods, but my blood sugar is often high during hunger.
I will be featured in the Hampstead & Highgate Express.
Lots of work done on the slides and scripts for Pie & Priestley.

The ears have it!
Finished reading Wodehouses's Heart of a Goof out loud last night. Much appreciated.
Meet up with Mike Tall Gent on the way back from Baildon this morning, and went to his house. Emily was in Leeds on the first day of a PGCE, heaven help her. Bradford City have threatened City Gent magazine, which Mike edits, with banning from the ground. Idiots!
The ear is worse and is causing deafness, but not painful yet. Read about it, discovered it is Otitis externa, and why you should not stick things in your ears (it is not the ear drum that is in danger, but the skin of the canal, which is very thin and easy to break).
Spent a horrible few hours treating the kitchen dresser for woodworm, again. I think I might get rid of it.
