Short? I'm not short!

"No - shortage silly, I was just saying that there is a national sparrow shortage"
"There's no shortage round here. Just look at us - there's so many on this bench that there's no room for me to face the right way. Now, where is that sparrowhawk?"

Pest control man finally came this morning (They now charge £40 so I had to wait until yesterday to pay).
Yes, definitely got mice. He topped up the containers, drank a cup of coffee and left.
He's very busy with rats and mice at the moment - and the occasional bed bug (yuk)!

Note to self: sand and varnish the bench!
