Hi everyone,
I feel terrible. Yesterday afternoon, we had arranged a family barbeque, as family were visiting from Singapore. I went to get the lawnmower out of the garage and as I moved it a mouse ran from underneath. Obviously I freaked, husband came running and I was yelling get the mouse, get the mouse. It ran behind some bags and as he moved them it ran across to another lawnmower. (i have a thing about them i own 4):D I didn't see it run past so I decided to move the lawnmower, a really big heavy cylinder mower, as I moved it forwards the mouse ran towards me, saw me and ran back to the mower, at the same time i moved the mower back and the two met. Result one squashed mouse:( It's the first time I have ever killed anything and I was very upset, at least it was quick. Of course husband kept mentioning this poor little mouse, never hurt anyone etc. etc. making me feel even worse. Until he pointed out that had it been the mole thats destroying our garden I wouldn't have been upset. No I said, if I ever catch it I'll kill it with my bare hands:D

I'm laughing. I'm sorry, I shouldn't, but you ran over a mouse with one of your lawnmowers :D. Did it have those nice stripes on it, like on the lawn? Sorry, bad taste :D :D :D
Edited: You didn't put it on the barbeque did you? rofl
