First Visitor!

Ok, go for two posts, why not? I just wanted to share news of my first visitor to my flat! Hubby and I had been sitting on the couch this weekend, when we spotted this little critter scampering under it and across the room and into the corner. We finally managed to coax it out, and after failing to chase it into a box, I plunked this little pink bin I had on top of it. Crazily enough, hubby and I are both so cute-little-household-creature deprived (and reinforced by staying in a house with 5 cats, 2 dogs, and a rat for Christmas week), our first thought was "Awww! Can we keep it, now!?" But we decided it wouldn't be right, so we did the classic "slide a cardboard under it" and brought it outside. Setting a pile of cheese beside it on the cardboard for it to partake in when we lifted the pink cover. So cute. So round. Our little truffle mouse, we fondly called it. I'm not sure if it snuck in somewhere around here, or if it somehow got transported in my Big Box that had just been delivered.

Well, ok, technically I did have another visitor, prior to this one - a nasty, decent sized spider that just appeared in my sink one day. But I don't take as kindly to spiders. Let's just say the spider didn't get the same dignified treatment!
