Up before eight. Plug in all the machines, put on the kettle, get out the breakfast food; and tape up the pedal bin. One of the mice has had a fruitful night. It has managed to climb into our large metal pedal bin. Quite a feat as it is a pedalbin that requires the application of a foot to get the lid open.
And now it can’t get out. I have helped by sealing it shut with gaffer tape. But can’t consider what to do until I have had a cup of tea. Another no painting day. I am going to get the house ready for David’s arrival, meet Tony with more strimming instructions, shop for electronic bits, plus food in Valence. And get a list of cars that our Peugeot dealer is assembling for us to see.
