Only 13 more days till the winter solstice.

So I had another little mouse in the box trap this morning, I do hope that’s the last one for this season 🙂 But just in case more will visit I’ve now bought a small travel cage for hamsters on our eBay called Tradera. So if they’ll get caught while it still is dark outside and to be honest it seems to be dark all the time now, I can put it in there until the daylight returns. I guess it’s best to give them some peanuts during the time they’ll be in the arrest 🙂

Today it was so dark that I had to put the camera on ISO 5000 and the photos still came out rather dark, so most of them are being brightened up. The colours did look a bit odd so I changed it to black and white as well (any coloured photo I might put in was taken yesterday). To make it even funnier it has rained all day.

At the beginning just drizzle but after a while we had heavy rain instead plus a small storm was passing by. Didn’t notice much of it here in the garden though, the neighbours cottage and garage plus the forest took all of it instead 🙂 That wind did bring warmth with them so we might even reach 10C (50F) on Wednesday.

It is time for that last cup of tea for the day. I have a slight fever and a slightly sour throat now, Don’t know how I got it since I barely leave my home. I noticed my neighbours were at home as well today so I guess they have it too. It doesn’t feel like an influenza thankfully t I’ll drive to the supermarket tomorrow morning and buy some ice cream and rose-hip soup 🙂

Have a great day!

    C, You care more for the welfare of your trapped mice than the evil US regime cares for humans in their cages 💙💔

      Hi blythedunbar!

      I sure hope so because that government only cares for billionaires and nazis.

    Do you still have your tonsils? I ask because I still have mine (though I was born when most kids had them removed just as a routine precaution and then got to eat lots of ice cream). When I was younger, it seemed every germ would go straight into them.

    Now, if I feel like I’m coming down with something, it usually starts in my throat, with a little fever like you have, and I wonder if the tonsils aren’t still causing problems.

    A doctor told me when I was probably in my 30s and had very bad tonsilitis with a fever and black tongue that removing them as an adult would be a major thing and he didn’t recommend it unless they gave me chronic trouble. They didn’t, so I’ve kept them.

      Hi catsworking!

      Yes I have and it was the same when I was a kid, everyone got rid of them.

      I’ve never had problems with the tonsils them selves though but I think we actually need them so perhaps they help more than we understand?
      The cold is much the same yet, a slight fever, a bit sour in the throat and a bit stuffed in the nose but that’s it 🙂
