Mouse-capades Morning Star!!!

Well I live on a small holding, out in the stix / middle of no-where/ doer –and-gone etc, etc, etc… and with living “out there” so to say, you do not have normal day-to-day experiences
For starters about 1 year ago there was a whole big article in the paper about the Morning star residents high risk of mercury in the water, dinking water that is (yes, believe it or not there are people out there who still drink tap- water!!)
We had to have these tests done, but (there is always a “but”) we had to pay for it ourselves.
So naturally what do you think happened………….. No one went because that would mean either our right or left kidney would have to be sold on e-bay to pay Drs Dietrich
’I want-all-your-money-now’ Street and partners or Path-‘we rip you off ‘- care, for our blood tests.
And if you have kids you are really screwed, you need at least one kidney!!!!!!!
Well we had our bitch ’n moan session about it and tested the water.
When I say test I mean: Monday fill a 2l bottle with tap water… scrutinize the colour, smell and taste. Next Monday do the same and look at the two bottles….. And if it looks better then we were certain we would live another week!!! Test complete!!!!!
Well I have eventually deduced that there is in fact mercury in the water and the smaller your brain, the more it affects you.
Take for instance some of my chickens, thick as planks I tell you!!
One of them regularly has aneurisms and lets off this monotonous long winded fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck (yes that is what it sounds like!!)
The other one has something seriously wrong with her eyes…. She walks over hurdles all the time…. And don’t let her run because you are guaranteed to collapse in a heap on the floor laughing your ass off!
Asshole, well need I say more, he is a really big one, does all these dumb things all the time, like running up and down the fence trying to get in….when just 1m to the left the gate is WIDE open????!!!
Or I will throw food for him and what does he do……………………..runs in the opposite direction
Even smaller than them are the mice…………………………
One night I open up my pot cupboard, note: pot not food, but pot cupboard, and there as plain as day is a mouse. Not a big mouse, rather small actually, but in any event a mouse looking up at me. My first reaction was “OMG Juan look at this now, a bloody mouse.”
Then I am like hang on, you aren’t even running, so I call Juan to come and see this little article who is either kak brave, or scared stiff, since he is not moving. Well we both started laughing.
I caught him in one piece and I went to put him across the road in the neighbors stable!!! (hee hee hee hee) Well anyhow when I get home I am really happy because now I have to wash ALL the pots in the cupboard, yay, I love washing pots …………..NOT.
Oh well what a collection of mice drollies that have collected in the cupboard, I think the whole family was living in there, all I need a friekin family of them. Well anyhow they haven’t gone into my grocery cupboard, so I am relieved, but it is very short lived. I go to have a shower and open my bathroom cupboard to get a new soap. The little idiots have eaten my white lux soap. Not the pink or the green, just the white ones……….
Now either they are racist or they swear a lot, but come on man, my soap!!!
And there are still no attacks on my food cupboard??
Then I want to warm milk for my hot chocolate and open the door to my microwave………..
Mice pee and poo on the turn table, under the glass turntable and next to it.
There is a loaf of Albany, best of both worlds, bread right next to the microwave, totally untouched, just my microwave that was used as a public toilet.
I have looked all over the microwave, but cannot find the sign that says “Public Toilet”, but who knows maybe it glows in the dark!!
So se set some traps for them, and what do they do……… they come into the room at night and onto my bedside table and try and drag my cell phone off into the night……….
Goodness knows who they are gonna call…. But anyhoo they still tried to drag it off……
After being unsuccessful in catching the little buggers in the mouse traps we googled another solution involving peanut butter……
And caught 1 of the 10 000 000 that have invaded my house!!!
But let me tell you something that little shit head was so fat……………
He even had thunder thighs!!!
But anyhoo we still have a few more to get before they are gone…..
But hopefully the mercury won’t show them how to watch TV at night!!!
