Day 28

Hello all. We can’t stop laughing today…… nothing to do with squinty eyes this time.. it’s even funnier.  They’ve got a dormouse in the wall and they DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

What planet are they living on?

And apparently it’s an edible one. Aren’t they all edible?

Well of course they are. Whoever heard of a mouse that wasn’t edible?  I know some of them are a bit tough and stringy (usually the ones Leo catches because they are old and slow) but even he manages with that sharp incisor of his

.

What a cheek! I select my mice especially for their size and juiciness.

Whatever!  Anyway, what are we going to do about this “edible dormouse”?

Actually, I understand it isn’t in a wall in our house.

Of course it isn’t.  Do you think it would stay if it saw me staring at it through the ventilation grill?

It’s in France. They went to France and had to quarantine on their return.

And it is in a wall.

Mmm. I don’t like France. Full of dogs and viruses that cause kibble-rationing so I understand. And the inside of a wall must be dirty.  I wouldn’t like that at all. I’m white, you know. Every bit of dust shows up.

Yup. That would be why he’s called the White Delight. 

Anyway, he has a point.  I don’t think I like France, either and who wants to go into a stuffy wall when you can catch the things on the lawn?

As you can see. We’ve stopped laughing. In fact we’re cross.

We’ve heard talk of calling in “pest control”. Who are they? What do they think WE do?  And we’ve heard these edible dormice are “protected”. That means you can’t actually eat them.  Edible dormice you can’t eat!

Well, good luck to them. We wait to see what happens, but it confirms our suspicions. They’ve gone mad.

Love Leo and Simba xxx
