My similar fairies run over my feet sometimes when I'm standing doing stuff - but the idle so-and-sos have never offered to clean up behind me!

That's amazing. Is there a rodent expert on here who can explain why a mouse would do this?

Cheers. Bruce.

My Shed Fairy does the opposite - get things out and leaves them lying about - Oh no sorry that's my son !!

That's delightful Spriddler and reminds me of my U.S. imported ‘68 Benelli which had its silencer full of pine kernels and wheat grains taken down the (large diameter) crankcase breather by a mouse whom I later found petrified on the drive sprocket - still have him for posterity. When I replaced the points and easily started the bike about 45 years on the pine kernels came out of the exhaust like a blunderbuss?!

absolutely charming isn't it?, mind you I'm not to sure I want any fairies in my shed/workshop, I will say I have a damn poltergeist quite active who secretes tools and other items I have placed in a safe location in order to frustrate me in retrieving 'em, :headbang: the damn nuisance. kind regards

Hi

I used to have quite a lot of those 'fairies' in a previous residence, overnight they would climb the shed wall and jump into the bin holding the dog food where they became imprisoned. Every morning I'd fish them out of the dog food bin and wish them well on their way. How did they repay this kindness - they ate the insulation off of the wiring on my T160 :headbang: :headbang:

Regards Mick
