Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi' bickering brattle! I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee, Inste'd I use a mod'rn girtle! The best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men Gang aft agley, An'lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promis'd joy! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/WeeSleekit.jpg.html Apologies to Robbie Burns. My wife (extremely mousephobic) had received a couple of visits from this little chap and laid down the law. Our elderly cat was enrolled in the hunt, but failed, so I laid a trap. This morning, while she was quietly reading in the drawing room, there was a loud snap in the corner and a struggle that quickly subsided. She exited with an "Eek", and this is what I found. The picture was taken at the front door enroute to the bin. Enthusiasts will note the fine (but non-Leica) bokeh.... Anyway the non-photographic question I have to ask is, is this a male or female mouse? Douglas
