Continuing my brief diversion from this being a technical-only journal;

Good things that happened today ...
  1. My mouse problem is gone


Bad things that happened today ...
  1. I need a new toaster.
  2. I wasted the last crumpet.
  3. The flat smells vaguely of grilled rodent.

What is it about toasters that mice find so appealing? The collection of crumbs I guess. I think you're the third person I know who has lost a bread singeing device in this manner in recent memory...

So, let me see if I can assemble this story:

You used the last crumpet to lure a mouse into your toaster, there was smoke and some sparks and you had to reset a breaker.

What did you have against your toaster anyways? :)

Weirdly enough I don't think i got it from you - I seem to remember it's from a dodgy camera phone. Although I may now upgrade it :)

Sorry, Simon, not related to this post. Just had to tell you, and I hope you're not offended, but that picture of you in Everybody Has a Secret Shame is really HAWT. I also enjoyed reading your script of A Love Story (for the naughties) the present day Romeo and Juliet...or was it Simon and...

Yum, grilled rodent. Good with little crunchy beef-flavoured pellets (or so my cat tell me).
