I had a great lunch companion today, a sleepy wood mouse.
Phone photo, obviously, because I don't carry a real camera when cycling. As an aside, it was great to see so many people of all ages out cycling today.
Perhaps I boost @Minimus too often but I'm a BIG fan! In my timeline they make me melt: https://mastodon.online/@Minimus@archaeo.social/112169941289181027 It's so lovingly made and heart-warming.🥰
And I polish up an amazing amount of #Latin. Since then, I sometimes hear mice in the field cheeping in Latin, imagine, in Gallia!!! 😂 (I wait for the animation blockbuster: 3 Roman mice visit Gallia and become friends of Asterix & Obelix).
This is gross. NZ Food Safety say Eastgate Countdown did NOT dispose of the deli food where a mouse was seen running riot.
“Our investigations into the Christchurch incident are continuing, however it appears proper procedures were not followed immediately after the mouse was spotted.”
“We would expect the food in the deli counter to have been disposed of immediately.”
