A fun little children's song getting regular play on Kiwi radio (which says a lot!).

Me and Wor Lass have just spent the whole weekend Spring cleaning the house, and we're completely shattered. It's amazing how you can ignore what's right in front of your face. The window sills, skirting boards, wooden floors and rugs were all dirty and dusty, and we've spent hours wiping down and disinfecting every surface in the house. The place looks and feels sooo much better, but at the cost of a relaxing weekend. Good job it's a short week coming up!
The other issue we've had is an uninvited visitor. We've had a mouse living under the fridge for a week now, and we're having no luck getting rid of it. It ran right in front of Wor Lass last Saturday night and she gave out a HUGE scream!
We've been obsessed with it all week, leaving a dusting of flour around the fridge to track its nocturnal sojourns and setting humane mousetraps. They are plastic tunnels with an incline at the far end, loaded with bait; as the mouse reaches the bait the trap tilts, closing the door behind it. Clever in theory, useless in practice. I've bought "proper" snapping traps, but hate the idea of killing the poor thing. Total hypocrisy considering I have no qualms over tucking into a sirloin steak or roast chicken.

This is man's greatest folly thinking that one can seperate and then calculate man's activities from the world's natural forces. Since the industrial revolution technology has advanced mankind and industry is cleaner and more efficient. We are getting better not worse despite the hyperbole coming out of the UN Copenhagen Climate Change Summit. --Zak Arthur Klemmer, American citizen
