It's been hard just watching what you've been going through so actually going through it must have been almost unbearable.<br /><br />Pauline: No I don't have any problems holding a mouse - I drowned it because that was the most humane thing I could do because it was too badly injured to free - I just don't like causing creatures suffering (some humans I can think of excepted).<br /><br />Monica: Thanks it was a pretty good day by and large.<br /><br />Katherine: Thank goodness such events are rare. At least its final end was swift. Perhaps its nose was so sore that it came back to commit suicide. Sorry. I wish, sometimes, that I didn't have these bizarre thoughts. <br /><br />Adrian: Yes. I have swum in the sea off the west coast of Lewis in October when the Gulf Stream has 'warmed' it up to about 12 deg.
