Our night was disturbed by a rampaging herd of young elephants through the house. Well, it sounded like that, but we suspected either a stoat had got in (bad news) or that a rogue mouse had broken our agreement with the mousefolk - they get fed outside if they stay outside. I reluctantly set an NMT (shh - don't mention Nasty Mouse Traps) and I fear we were right; it was a mouse, who must have had his mountaineering hobnailed boots on.

I hate having to set NMTs
