Ah, well you see, it's difficult for me to comment on that.

Must have missed it. .

I.e. policing the group.

Policing again!

And miss all the bad behaviour on (mostly) your team.

Will see what I have around to put in the post next week. What about
gladiolus papillio?


Yes please - is it too late to plant now? the clay is like concrete
today - what a cold night and one that brought in mice to the attic. I
was woken at 5p.m. by the sound of a trap going off and then another
one within a few minutes - I have no idea how mice get into attics, the
rVermin man told me to down a clematis which has (slightly) gone under
the tiles, could he be right?

They can crawl up walls. We had a plastic supermarket bag containing packets
of crisps hanging from a nail in the cupboard under the stairs. Mice ate some
of the crisps.

No cat?
Word of warning to anyone thinking of getting one.
They're great. Very, very useful, but....
If you decide you really must allow a cat to have full run of the house
at night, a meow can wake you up. Having been thus woken, you'll want
to investigate what ails him/her.
You'll probably not want to switch on the harshness of a light as you
tumble out of bed at say, 3am, upon which you will instantly stand on
said cat.
This will alert you to the need to switch on a light. This in turn will
then reveal that the cat is not in fact in the room and wasn't at the
time, and instead remains patiently elsewhere trying to recollect what
exactly s/he has done with the lively toy s/he had brought in earlier
from outside. You will by that stage have realised, by it's continued
presence, next to your bare toes, what exactly that lively toy is!

Noooo - Edward has just been up, he has found 3 of the traps, all
sprung but no mice in them. One of the gtraps has disappeared
completely - he just cannot find it, I'm moving rooms tonight, I know
they can't hurt me, but I am nervous when I hear they just above my
head.

I'm afraid not but my daughter has two that live with her in London but
they have never been outside so can't bring her in "presents".

With our lifestyle it would be a bit unfair to get any animal but
retirement is not far off and then we will go back to Irish Red Setters
and Labs.

Now I have really gone off topic, sorry.

Judith, I suggest you take out a contract. ;-) Living as we do,
surrounded by fields and running a nursery where young plants are
irresistible to mice, we employ a company called Baroque who come every 6
weeks or so to check nursery and house for mice infestation - rats, too.
They put down the necessary poison in safe-for-other-animals containers and
everything remains at an acceptable level. Our elderly neighbour had an
experience such as yours with 'noises off' and we got our chap to go over
her house. He found not only evidence of mice but areas where they had
started to chew through electrical cabling, which is very dangerous. I
really would get onto a company like Baroque, if I were you. Mice get
through the tiniest imaginable holes.

We do have had a chap come in and lay the poison as you suggest and he
comes back a week later to pick up the bodies. However, I am not too
keen on poison simply because he could not get to a dead one that had
crawled into a floor space in a bedroom over the garage. It is
fortunate that, that part of the house has a separate staircase as we
could not use the rooms there for at least 4 months, the absolute
stench was gut wrenching so I prefer to use traps inside the house but
I will have the chap back to lay the poison outside and hopefully this
will reduce the number who can get access to me!

I'm a bit worried that I am off-topic, please say so if I am

I will! I am going to France for Christmas and New Year, is there
anything I can plant then that you have?

I am going to Paris next Sunday for a few days, is there anything I can
bring you back to say thank you?

I have asked a chap down the road to come and take it down - I am
really worried now as I sleep, Winter and Summer, with my window open a
little.

Keeping snakes as pets can be very handy, some times! 8-))

I think I would rather face the mice than a snake - I obviousy need to
come to terms with my fear of some things.

Almost certinly that has caught one, they sometimes stay alive for a short
while after the trap has sprung, then they drag the trap after them, he will
find it sometime.

Most hardy stuff I should think so I'll collect a few bits and warn you

We have two. We used to keep the door to the cupboard under the stairs
closed.

Did you mention dead frogs left as a gift on the pillow. One of our cats
collects frogs from the from the neighbours lily pond

Ours catches swifts by jumping from the top window of our 3 story house and
landing on the extension. I wish he wouldn't. He is however good at catching
rodents and usually finishes them off outside, except when Paul's mother is
staying for some reason :-(
