There's a brick adrift in one of our outside walls, and I'm not sure how
to
go about sorting it out.
Mortar lines are very slim, so there's not much space to operate, and the
brick has slid back a little, into the cavity space, with next-to-nothing
to get hold of.
Any suggestions for how I can deal with this?

The offending item can be seen he http://bit.ly/bw3Guv

Cut a couple of strips out of a bean tin and bend the ends over a bit.
Slip in and hook the brick out.
Wear gloves.

Thanks.
