Reflections on life at “De Witte Wand”…

Sharing the House

We’ve had a wooden floor put in the bedroom at the farmhouse. While that’s been going on, we’ve spent the last couple of nights sleeping in a room in the outhouse. A bit basic, but doable – and the plan is to turn that room into a guest bedroom anyway. The room has a small attic above it, which is accessible from the workroom next door.
 
The first night we were vaguely aware of the patter of tiny feet, but last night the patter appeared to turn into a full scale barn dance. And either the mice were wearing hobnailed boots, or we may have a larger species of rodent to deal with. This will explain the selection of traps that the previous owners left in the workroom. I shall get some practice in. Oh, and a cat.

    reminds me of when I was a kid. We had wooden floors in part of the house, and if you lay on the floor with your ear to the boards and scratched, little feet would scratch back at you!! I thought it was borrowers until someone explained.

    I checked the traps this morning – two tiny corpses. I can’t believe that mice can make so much noise.
