ATTACK OF THE ZOMBIE MOUSE, a tale of terror and suspense

Some of you were privileged to hear this drama as it unfolded last night. Others, however, missed out. So here is my tale of cat and mouse...

( Heylp Heylp, its a MOUSE )

And yes I know it is a tiny thing, unlikely to do me any real harm, but they make my skin crawl and bring out primal urges to stand on chairs and scream heylp heylp.
Oddly enough its only mice in the house that do this. Outdoors - fine. In my feed bin at the stables - sure, I know they're there, as long as they don't leap out and attack me, I can live with it. In the house? Gibbering wreck. Though I have progressed to the point where I can remove the dead ones without having to get the brother-in-law round. Who, I hasten to add, is nearly as bad about them as me, but has to be Manly about it and isn't allowed on the chair.

I suspect this evening I am going to have to Do Something about it, like check under the sofa and poke about in corners. I wonder if I can rope anyone in for Moral Support...

ps the blackout linings were great.

And to cap it all...

First mice then bloody cow-orkers then more work crap theres not point going into because it'll probably all blow over but was annoying all day THEN

I fall off the fucking horse.

You can just tell it's a Monday.

ok thats the drama queening over :p

It wasn't actually a bad fall. More a sort of slow motion roll off, landed on me hip which will be tender tomorrow I'm sure, but no damage done. Wasn't Ziggy's fault either - Jane and her pony Sprite were a good bit ahead of us, cantering around the outdoor arena, Ziggy had put on a spurt to catch up and I was just thinking 'hmm should slow up a bit' when Sprite suddenly bucks like crazy, Jane goes flying off and we have to veer sideways suddenly. I lose my balance (cos I'm still focused on Is Jane Alive) and end up somewhere up Ziggy's neck, she stops dead and I go slowly sliding off and land on me arse.

Jane was ok too, tho probably will be a lot sorer than me tomorrow. Valiently climbed back on, had a few more canters around the arena then went off for a walk down the lane and a run up the hill in the back field, now its finally dry enough to ride in. So all ends well really. And as I had to fall off her sooner or later, its nice that the first one wasn't half as bad as I'd expected - previously I've fallen off much smaller horses, so the bigger drop was worrying.

I have a feeling I should go to bed now tho, before anything else goes wrong.

ps I cannot find the remote. I think the disappearing zombie mouse may have eaten it. Truly, this is a day of WOES

UPDATE I have run out of oil :/
