Clouds drifting by

So far, the mice (yes, plural. There are, apparently, two) are evading capture and ignoring the sonic repellents. The mouse trap has been sprung at least twice but all it caught was a roving Ferrero Rocher. Some carers are amused, some are not, and one wants to take them home with her.

I've ordered more sensitive traps and I'm hoping some swiss roll will tempt them in.

My doctor's coming tomorrow to give me my 2nd Covid jab. I was surprised to get a phonecall about it today as I thought it would be longer before I got the 2nd jab. Apparently, it's only 4-12 weeks between doses for the Astrazeneca. I'm just hoping I don't feel ill after it. I didn't with the 1st.

Ruth, my Occupational Therapist, rang yesterday. She's received the go ahead to get me a Neater Eater. I'm rather astonished as it's £5,500 to buy one. (That's not a typo.) I don't know when it'll be delivered.

The evening of the day with the mouse incident, Jade (one of my carers) was convinced the mouse was still here and hiding behind the chest of drawers. After she got down on her knees and shone the light from her mobile phone behind/under the drawers, Daisy got excited and joined in the search.

Jade said that proved the mouse was there. I said, "No, she thinks you know there's a mouse there."

We ended up putting the humane trap under my desk and baiting it with a chocolate chip cookie. The next day, the cookie was still there and completely untouched, so that was the end of the Mousecapades, or so I thought.

Last night, Daisy came running in and was whining in the hall. When the carers came in, she was parked by an alcove I have by the kitchen door* and absolutely refusing to move. I suspect she brought in another mouse.

(*It used to be the coat cupboard but the builders took the door off when they widened my kitchen doorway.)

Today, she was in the kitchen and doing her best to crawl under the fridge. Leanne (carer) saw a mouse as it darted out of the kitchen and back to the alcove, so there's definitely one in here. I asked the carers to plug in some sonic rodent repellers I bought, so I'm hoping they'll do the trick and persuade Mickey 2 to move out.

I'm really rather worried. Not about the mouse itself, but if people put poison down, Daisy could eat a poisoned mouse and end up dying. Obviously, I don't want that to happen. I could try to keep her in, but she's quick at diving out of the door when the carers come in so that might not work at all.

Is anyone else tired of the endless updates from Firefox? Their last update was 23rd March but another update notification has already started popping up.

I clicked on the link to provide feedback and was told they've suspended feedback until after they've improved how it's collected. (Maybe you should work on that instead, huh, guys?)

I suspect they're tired of being told to knock it off with the super quick updates. But that could be me being grumpy.

Elaine mentioned the census form the other day and I was rather surprised as I haven't received anything about it. Or, if I did, I didn't realise.

I looked online and the deadline is 21st March, which is this Sunday. Fortunately, there's a link on the site to request your 16 digit code to be sent to your mobile so I did that. My part in the census is done, which is a relief as there's apparently a £1,000 fine for not filling it in.

LOL! Someone at Google is a Friends fan!

I really love this one.

This one makes so much sense.

This is seriously adorable. ♥

swordznsorcery pointed me towards this group a while ago. (Thank you, swordznsorcery!) They're not only talented but they obviously have a sense of humour. Just check out these two videos. They really make me laugh.

Feel free to use. Credit would be lovely.

I'm stuck in hospital. 2 Covid tests came back negative, so it's probably only my lungs. *laughs like a Victorian heroine*

I can go home once I maintain my own oxygen levels and not at a measly 79℅ either.

I had to reset 2 passwords just to get to post.

Update: It looks like it was a little bit of pneumonia.
