The Only Success

we ever had with our live trap, aka mouse cage.

Bought when our cat, Henry, was still young and brought live mice in the house and sometimes they got away. We usually caught and released them but one was elusive. So we bought this trap. The only mouse that ever ventured inside was the Gruffalo mouse.

Nowadays Henry eats the mice he catches. Except for the green wobbly bit. (if you’ve ever read Pratchett’s The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents you know what I mean).

Asparagus Galore!

Newcomers to Germany are usually astonished by the feeding frenzy concerning asparagus in the months from late March to mid June. There is a plethora of asparagus to be had in supermarkets, in restaurants, and at the roadside.

But I’ve never seen a heap of spoiled asparagus at the side of an asparagus field. I don’t know what was wrong with them, why the spears were discarded. It just looked like a plethora of waste.
