Good Morning Early Birds

[emmie]

morning, Monday and the working week starts for some of you. I hope that you are all in good health and that your day is a pleasant one. Do you have anything planned for today?

The decorator will be here at 8am to begin to paint the hallway, so that will be a nice start to the week, hopefully it shouldn't take him more than 4 days to complete the job.
Todays forecast for the capital is 24c with light rain.....

Four days to paint a hallway Em?

Hope you are good with a teapot.

There could be many a cup needing brewing.

Good morning Emmie, how are you doing!
My shower went on the blink last week, so I'm looking to get a new one fitted today or tomorrow.
Hope all go's well with the hall.
Take care

morning 1ozzy, Chip

that's what he reckons, i hope he takes 3 days but will have to see, coffee/tea ready to go.

hope you get that sorted Chip, i couldn't do without mine.

[1ozzy]

Missing a shower could be uncomfortable.
Missing a dunny, unacceptable!

Good morning. 1ozzy, I was also thinking that 4 days is a little long. Anyway, Emmie, I hope you are happy with the results. Also 24 forecast for later on with a thunder-storm maybe.

[emmie]

morning Sanmac,

[emmie]

you been busy Mac, haven't seen you around lately.
i think he could do the hall in 3 days but will see.

[sanmac]

No busier than usual, Emmie, just that some days I don't pop in here Did you get rid of the mice?

[emmie]

not yet, the mice have caused me a lot of stress, knawing and scratching their way through the night. The baits are down, and poison in them, so no idea why the little bsards are still alive.

[emmie]

how are you Mac?

[1ozzy]

I mentioned water traps some time ago.
They may have built an immunity to baits/poisons but they can't swim.

[emmie]

i remember, but no idea how they work, or indeed where to get them...do you make your own 1ozzy....

[emmie]

a friend has suggested a way to trap them, maybe will look again at Robert Dyas hardware store to see what they can suggest.

[1ozzy]

I have made many Em.

Google "water trap for mice"

You will find many you can purchase.

You will also find instructions on how to make your own.

[emmie]

thanks....

[1ozzy]

And Peanut Butter is the best bait.
Forget cheese

[emmie]

tried that it didn't work last time...

[1ozzy]

But you weren't using a water trap.

Any bait that can be easily nibbled from a spring loaded trap won't work.

[emmie]

no i can see that.... what's down should have done the trick, but seems not, kept me half awake last night, the noise is awful. will look out for water traps....

[emmie]

have to be showered and ready for 7am, so i can have breakfast before the decorator shows up.
