duplex

I've discovered there's a mouse living under my shed.  The other day I was relaxing in my chair in the shed, and I saw a little brown shape on the floor.  I looked down, and it was moving.  With my surprised cry it vanished. 

Then for the last few days I've noticed a half eaten apple nestling against the shed base by the front door.  I can see in my mind's eye how the mouse has huddled there near the protection of its basement home, nibbling at its enormous harvest, too big to drag under the shed.

Well, I don't mind this way round.  If it was above me scuttling over my ceiling it would be another matter.
