I awoke, somewhat clear headed, having abstained from wine the night before. I enjoyed the feeling, and will repeat it I think :-) The day was spent helping Mrs Plug with planning and organising for the remainder of her course. We have lots to do, but I am sensing a bit of teamwork going a long way. Small Plugs were on homework and tidying duties, but everything stopped in the afternoon as we discovered mice in the garage. Fortunately, not much damage was done, but we will need to be mindful of it. Smallest Plug was of course not in favour of my approach to "Mouse Husbandry" i.e. Hitting them with the back of a spade. So small baby mice were tucked up under some leaves in the flower bed. They were all dead within hours I would imagine, but it made her feel better I think. We discussed the purchase of some traps, which apparently have to be "humane". I am not sure our walks through the woods will hold quite the same joy for me if we are spending every day repatriating mice, however, I fear I must go with the plan. The full force of youngest's will is not something you want to stand up against too often. I actually worked right through the football today, and recorded it for later viewing, I wish I hadn't bothered as we drew nil nil against West Ham, but I treated myself to a drink in the evening for being so conscientious. We are of to the venue for the festival tomorrow to do all the technical side of things. I always find this week a bit nerve wracking, but I shall look forward to the next week's performances as well.
