'Haggis, deep fried mars bar and Scottish dancing in one night. Good start'

Henry has scared the cat sitter and brought in a mouse.
She is not amused and called her Dad to come and remove it.

Tonight wouldn't be described as mild in my book... Really hot would be more appropriate... Who knows how I'm going to sleep but under the duvet isn't one of the options!

Leaving work tonight (later than usual), I passed the in-house deli on the floor below mine. It was closed, and the sliding glass door leading to it had been slid shut.
Behind this glass door, I saw a quite large grey mouse pottering about quite playfully. I tried to get a picture but it disappeared somewhere.
Should I tell anyone?

Yes, everyone at work and the deli too.
Meanwhile, I'm vexed by a different rodent, squirrels. I've got bird feeders hanging in my mum's garden. One of them is attached by cable ties to a washing line but a squirrel gets frustrated walking upside down the length of the line and then gnawing at those bits it can reach of the outside of the nuts. It's taken to not just eating through the cable ties to get it on the ground where it can really get to work with the whole nuts but it's also hiding the cable ties. I wanted to find one so I could work out how it was nibbling through but they're nowhere to be found. Meanwhile I'm going to have to use a wire fixing.

Clever buggers, those squirrels.
I bought a contraption to deter foxes, which had a PIR sensor and a spray which attached to a hosepipe. When Reynard broke the beam he'd get soaked by a jet of water and there'd be a big rattling sound, which stopped him from trashing my back garden.
The squirrels worked out how the damn thing worked, and would play "chicken" with it.
Back to the rodent in the deli; how do I broach it in front of a load of hungry punters queueing up for breakfast comestibles in the morning? And how do I avoid being accused of slander?
