    I think it's killing season for cats at the moment.  We have a pile of feathers but no corpse at the far end of the garden.  I'd be surprised if my cat was the culprit as he is both lazy and fairly inept as a hunter.  If he does catch a mouse he brings it in (still alive) and then let's it fall out of his mouth and it scampers off.  Dead mice are bad but still alive and running around in the house is probably worse - although a better outcome for the mouse obviously.

    How would MrSA react to not having a scooter on holiday? If he would spend all week chuntering about it and ruining your holiday then the extra money might be worth it?

    We’ve been discussing it tonight funnily enough and for now we’re keeping the booking in place. It’s not the cost so much as the scooter we hired last year kept conking out and we were forever having to get people to push it. This is a different hire place so hopefully they’re better. The couple we used to hire from have retired so I’m hoping the new company, which were recommended by this couple, haven’t taken on their decrepit old scooters. But this is Greece remember 😆
