together in life and death

Please don't think of this as macabre, I found these two field mice in a plant pot full of water when I was tidying the garden up today, this is how they lay when I tipped the water out. Initially I had no idea they were in the water.

It shows how fragile life is and the fact that possibly, just possibly one of these mice may have gone to the aid of the other, we will never know.

This is not my usual sort of stuff but I thought I would go a bit left field.

Tomorrow I'm off to Coniston in the Lake District for the second in the series of runs I'm doing throughout the Autumn, currently I'm nursing a cold and I have a sore achilles tendon in my right leg, I'm going to do the run even if I have to walk it.
