Tea? (Part 2)

Phil, I've joined the team!

So you have

Speicher are you going to join the team

I have been thinking over the past two weeks or so, about joining Kiva. If I do that, then I will join the Cycle Chat Team. If a few of us are in a team, that might encourage others to join perhaps.

Yup that was the thinking when I set up the cyclechat team and hence the line in my signature so people know the team exists.

Tasha has just very kindly brought me a mouse. A large mouse! Usually they are the very tiny harvest mices. I must put some gardening gloves back in the kitchen, so that I can catch the mices and put them back outside. There is a field of wheat at the end of my garden. When the combine harvester comes round, all the mices get made homeless.

I am still not sure why Tasha thinks they need to be re-homed here.

Is anyone else brave enough to pick up a mouse? or a frog?

Could be worse ... my friend's cat once brought a duck home. It had problems getting it through the cat flap.

I have picked up meeces, alive, dead and computerated. Never handled a frog but when I kept pigs, the local toad population used to burrow under the floor mats in the arcs.



Oh, and I've picked up several large and very dead rats, courtesy of my former JRT. By their tails, obviously. And then bleached my hands afterwards.

We had to do battle with a monster frog/toad thingy last week whilst on a walk round Loughrigg Fell.
Luckily I was on camera duty or I would have gotten to it first

Jo, I was trying to work out what that large green wrinkled thing was, above the frog, then realised it is your thumb.

That is why I like to have gloves in the kitchen. I could pick up a dead rat (by the tail) with my bare hand, but as you say, lots of nasty germs.

Potsy, yes, I can see you would be very frightened of that ginormous frog.

Frogs, mice, toads, rats, no problem with picking up any of them so long as they are alive. I have a bit of a phobia about dead things though.

I remember many years ago in London, one of my cats found a toad in the garden and was halfway bringing it in when it realised the taste. The toad was quickly spat out and the poor cat walked about with its tongue dragging on the carpet and foaming at the mouth.
She definately had a look about her.

It is so warm and humid today, I have left the back door open. I just hope that Tasha does not bring the live mouse back in, without me noticing.

Coo, it does look cross.

Not much eating on it though, even for very Nouvelle Cuisine.

Tea anyone?

I will have to amend my post about my success in the Fantasy Tour de France. It would seem that I looked at the final result for the Velogames league too soon after the end of the Race.











I was not fourth
