Well I didn't get any of the people I wanted coming along yesterday.

In fact, I didn't get anyone at all.

Bleak times for an audition.

The only good point was that I was able to seize the opportunity to cleanse the mouse-infested tea cupboard.

Fellow users of the facility thoughtfully pointed out that it had been gnawed weeks ago.

Dear kind Christelle and Margaret (infrequent users of the facility) decanted everything into tins.

I was able to put the finishing touches of cleanliness with a swipe of pine scented disinfectant.

As my friend Mr Neill said, mice don't scuttle around clean cupboards.
