    Default Sod it Sod it Sod it, give up WW :(

    Out in the shed trying to finish off some cupboard doors for the kitchen (3 years and it's still going).
    Finish putting one door together, then the other one, woo hoo, 2 doors done already, next, rout a rebate to fit the panel in, clamp door onto bench, check router bit, yep, all's fine, start to rout, almost completed one run and something is not quite right,
    BUGGERI've just cut a rebate into the front of the door, sod it, start again.
    Bit of routing to do so I decide to put on earmuffs, grab said muffs off hook on wall, put on and pick up router, left ear feels a bit funny, take off ear muffs, bloody mouse has crawled in between the two pads while hanging up, died and is advanced state of fermenting, god it stinks and I have an earful of dead liquid mouse.
    Inside for a coffee, what's that foul smell? says SWMBO.
    Might take up another hobby.

    Stuart, I only use the earmuffs for prolonged periods of routing as most other operations are fairly quiet, so, I would say they had been hanging up for about two months.
    I have a few baits laying around for the rodent population (plenty of rats and mice with all the horse feed we have around) and I suspect this was a protest of sorts.

    Edit, Al, I shall put it in a little bag and mail it to you if you wish.

    I check mine each visit to the shed to make sure some of the local redbacks haven't found a new home.
