This morning was my turn for a lie in so after I'd said goodbye to Alien, I put my earplugs in and went back to sleep.
I was woken up by something on my arm.
My first thought (having only just woken up) was that it was my watch falling off my arm. But then I realised that I hand't been wearing it in bed.
My second thought was that it was one of the mega beetles we've had this summer in most houses down our lane, and which don't really bother me. But then I thought about the fact that the beetles aren't that heavy and their feet aren't that scratchy.
So I decided to sit up and investigate. I pulled back the pillow and out jumped a little mouse, who ran across the bed and under the duvet.
I shrieked like such a girl and jumped up and stood in the middle of the bed!! I don't mind mice, as anyone who's read some of my previous posts would know, as our cats have a tendancy to bring them in. We've been away for a few days and Harrycat does miss us so tends to feel the need to bring extra pressies for us. He'd bought this particular mouse in at about 3am and although I'd got up then to see where it'd gone, it looked like a lively one so I'd just put the draught excluder across the door and hoped that it wouldn't come in. I was wrong.
