Oh bugrit. Beer :beer: for our Chatelaine most definitely. Pore Carinthia.
I would also recommend a part-time catten, but she wouldn’t thank me for it.

A back-up Slammer, on the other hand…

Mr Soo has been rather horrified by the whole mouse/hen thang.
Brought up, as he was, amongst Rhode Island Reds (who he asserts only eat worms and grubs for meat) he is quite shocked. Bless.

Not as shocked as the cat*, I’d wager… (It’s worth pausing it on the 7” mark to see the expression)




*Or the mouse, for that matter.

I haven’t heard from Our Chatelaine, so choose to believe she is having fun and being looked after. Hope so, anyhoo.

Tomorrow is MiL’s 95th birthday. We’ll be taking her out for lunch in Whitley Bay:

We have bought 6 Dianthus plants, a rather fine Aster and a bag of compost for her; she will love it all.

Good nights, Cellarites,

Oh goodness, wee Bee, I hadn’t realised you had a Rescue Husband… Did it take a long time to habituate him to a kind, human household?

With apologies to the blameless and respected Mr Soo, FoB elect, honorary board member, willing poodle slave and expert Bee-wrangler. Which is quite different from apiary. Or topiary. Urgle - stop digging, Gus, you muppet.

Gxxxx

Hope MiL has a thoroughly splendid birthday.

Mraow! repeatedly, nay, frantically. PFO heard me on the phone wiv a fag out back and came charging up the fence, thought twice about it, charged up a different segment of fence and has gone mad and bitey and happy. He never used to mraow and call to or at me so I am slightly flattered.
From this you will gather that I am home having been most kindly and royally taken care of and entertained. Gusses do not come more fortunate than this one.

Tonight please raise glasses to That Fish and That Sparrer.
Cheers, me very dears
