Saturday Mrs T&E had gone to Swansea for a friend's birthday. So I went to the rugby with my dad and youngest nephew. Then I had tea at my sister's before wending my way home.
I spent the evening catching up with recorded TV and Match of The Day before deciding that I really should go to bed. On the bed were Che and Lima, making sure that I only had a small area to fit into. So I pulled back the duvet and climbed in.
I felt something under the cover against my foot. Looking down I saw a dead field mouse. In Mrs T&E had been there then there may well have a cry of "Mouse in the bed! Mouse in the bed!" Instead I removed said mouse and went to sleep.
At "Oh my God it's early" o'clock I was woken by the catflap closing and Che jumping on the bed and making happy sounds. I rolled over and went to sleep.
Upon waking I sat up to re-read my last Robert Crais book, The First Rule, and began reading. Over the top of the book I could see something lying on the bed.
It was small and brown and looked remarkably like another mouse. Indeed it was another mouse. 2 mice in one night and without Mrs T&E to remove the bodies....
