Sleepily watering the tomatoes in the greenhouse this morning when the water flow from the watering can mysteriously stopped. Looked inside the can, still full. Shook it, no water coming out. Took off the flower at the end of the spout and peered inside. Something blocking it. Fished inside to feel something squidgy and yielding. Shook it a bit further down the spout and then slowly withdrew a perfectly cylindrical and exceptionally waterlogged, dead mouse.

Lovely.
