Love the page Jacki and what a cute little mouse. Did you make it? Your rhyme brought back memories of a few years ago when we had a mouse in the house. In the best ‘Golden Girls’ tradition - picture this - and I’m trying to be delicate about it - I’m sitting on the throne in the bathroom when out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of movement and there before me was a tiny mouse. It had to stop at the closed door and turned and looked at me...I don’t know who was the more shocked the mouse or me...turned out we had a family of them living somewhere behind the washbasin in the bathroom. We got humane mouse traps and over the next few days caught mum and dad and a family of three which my husband released into the field behind us....phew!!!  |

I have just had a good laugh. I looked up the only poem I know about a mouse. I never ever knew that there was more than one verse. MOUSEI want to hear you singing along to this.  |

Love the page Jacki and what a cute little mouse. Did you make it? Thankyou Lillias, yes I did make the little mouse and I loved your story about your encounter with a member of the mouse family. My boys once had pet mice and I used to make them sit in the bath tub if they wanted to play with them, that way I figured they wouldn't escape to roam the house. We had a favourite one called Patches, I must try and find a photo of him. |

Thankyou Margaret for putting that rhyme on loop in my head, who knew hippos had such climbing abilities?

I just knew you would both like it.  Australia must be just a little too far for me to hear you, Jacki. |

We used to sing something like this 'Hickory dickory dock, three mice ran up the clock, the clock struck one, and the other two got away with minor injuries'
