My nephew was talking to the surgeon today, he fully expects to have my nephew shearing by the 2022 season, a young fellow that shears with him is taking over for the 2021 year. it's great news, he's nearly like a son here so we're all delighted.
The bulding/carpentry business will be more difficult to sort I think, himself and his business partner have a huge amount of work on

The work will get done. Once he makes a full recovery himself I would worry about nothing else.

Had a family member that got their hand absolutely flattened by a post driver.
Looked bad after the operation, all wire and pins.
When it healed he had no movement whatsoever.
But a great physio in uhg worked hard on him, tolook at him today not a bother.
It brilliant what they can do.

This guy has some movement coming already, the wire going through the hand and fingers is weird

Or fans of Father Jack..

I think there was something before in the irish prisons here where they had to change the alcohol based sanitizer as inmates were diluting and downing it.

Great news. With a positive attitude like that, he will do fine.

Spent a few hours round my mams house. She told me she’s been catching one or two mice a week.

Found very little as regards entry points. Single story extension, where sewer enters the facia 10ft off the ground was only real entry point I could find. Would mice climb up a plaster wall ??

Have to go back and move some pots and stuff, she has a heap of stuff stacked at the back of the house out of the way but it’s giving mice place to hang about id say.

Set the traps in the attic too.

It only takes a pair of mice to get in (could be from an open door or window) and they'll have litters and they'll have litters.

If you have traps in the attic you'll have the attic and cavity walls covered.
They'd nearly climb glass.

Be no harm to give a look into the water tank in the attic when you're up there.

Mice can fit in an area the size of a biro head.

Thanks.
Can just see the face on her 😱

It took me half hour to convince her not to be putting the toaster into the press under the sink where the droppings are, whatever the hell the Protestant obsession with keeping the toaster in the press is ?? She hasn’t heard this before but got a great laugh at it. She’s always thought her sister has no toaster but not wonders if she has it in a press too 🙄

There's some auld fells which are great craic! One beside me is hilarious as he'll curse & swear and be crude in front of myself & Dad but is as polite in front of my Mum
And if he calls into me & Dad isn't here, his first question is usually, "Well lassie, any jiggy-jiggy latey?" :pac::D

These days he sometimes stays in the jeep outside but sure as I'm alone & watching who I interact with etc, he often comes in here, won't go into the parents house though.

There was a very auld lad here, wrecked with arthritis but fiercely independent. It would nearly take him an hour to get or down off the tractor.
He lived out of the kitchen and living room, used to sleep on a couch with an infra-red lamp overhead. One day a new public health nurse called.
When himself heard the knocking, he sits up and shouts come in, the nurse walks in to your man sitting under the red light and tapping the couch with his hand saying "sit down here girleen".
It wasn't the best ice breaker ever. ðŸ˜‚

Posh proddies for ya!

The normal one's keep it on the washing machine.

It does sound like they're breeding somewhere in the house. Being under the sink they could be squeezing in beside the pipes. I'd bags they're in the cavity walls.
Just keep setting traps under the sink till you get the end of them.
- the mice that is.

I sealed one high up entry point, 10ft off the ground, it’s possibly they were climbing along the sewer pipe and entering there, all lower Pipes are all tightly plastered. They are moving between the hot press and kitchen. I’ve set traps in both. The hot press is poorly sealed to the crawl space above which was open to the hole I sealed off.

Check where the dishwasher pipe goes into the pvc drain pipe. I presume all protestants have a dishwasher:D

If your house is 25 years of age or less, I presume it has a radon barrier?
The breather pipe from below the barrier is another possible entry point.
In theory there should be no way up through the slab, but mice will find a way.....

It’s the mothers house, I’d say the paint in some rooms is older than 25 years 😆

I can send her my house mousers for a week.
Will enclose cat CV & terms of their employ. :P

Mice get in here where my bats live, in a crack between slate roof & flat roof. Can hear them prance around the attic for a day or two, then the cats get them when they come down at the heating system.

I have one absolutely cracker of a ratter. He is able to take down some sizable yokes. Wouldn't be without him tbh. Currently snoring in the barn after been out all last night patrolling the sheds.

Two here are getting old but still keep the hayshed empty of all vermin, the slatted shed has mice though, so I've taken to carrying down the feed from the hayshed to avoid the feckers opening bags & making a mess/wasting feed & crapping/pishing all over the bags.
