Looking for the Apple Store in Glasgow...

I was looking for the Apple Store in Glasgow, to get some doodads for my iPod touch. I walked up and down the street I don’t know how many times…

Mouse

This is a mouse that was annoying me, by scrabbling about right underneath my bed at night when I was trying to sleep. I cunningly trapped him by having a bathtub that he couldn’t climb out of. Actually, I’m not sure how he got into the bathtub in the first place – I’m pretty sure there’s no mouse-navigable path. Anyway, once he was in the bathtub, I captured him (using the lid of a CD-cake, much as you would use a glass to trap a fly) and transported him to a wooded area, where I released him onto a fast food burger container. I thought that might ease his transition from a man-made world to a natural one. However, he was quite shy, and I never really got a good shot of him.

Spud Harvest

I harvested some of my spuds – the first of the three planters. I’ve been neglecting them shamefully, and the plants are basically dead, so it was time. Plus, I cunningly managed to leave my freezer door open, which meant I had to suddenly cook a whole bunch of food, and adding potatoes to the mix seemed a good idea. I think some of them were trying to sprout, as they had odd little manky bits on their skins, but some swift peeler action soon dealt with that. I’ve used about half of this pile in a stew, which should last me a few days. I have now eaten one of the stew portions, and the potatoes were quite tasty!
