Oh - that is really really sad TW, and no wonder Martin C was crying. He is a true animal person isn't he, and that would have devastated him. I am rather glad that I didn't watch it now.

Evening everyone - Really glad I missed that Clunes and Lion thing - I am a pragmatist and fully understand the laws of nature, but fail to see entertainment side of something like that. Both the Mem and I like happy endings and nice jolly progs. so actively seek to avoid anything of this ilk. Lynn are you sure that bi-carb and p'nut butter thing actually works? I have got rid of hundreds of the damn things over the years, I am forever getting invites to "bob over for a brew - Oh and bring yer polecats". The Mem had a tittering convulsion when I said about your concoction - she (rather coarsely for her) made the suggestion that perhaps you want them to poo themselves to death! (only she didn't say poo). Bye fer now.

Good Evening Gordon, the more I hear of the Memsahib, the more I like her

Okay, time for bed said Zebedee - when next you see me I might be a shadow of my former self No no, let's think positively here........I will have had a brilliant day with the grandsproglet and will be looking forward to another one on Sunday!!

Nighty night

My dear Bitkin - You are bound to have a grand time with the GS - and fear not HL will soon be back to administer comfort and succour (albeit in an untidy sort of way!) With these few words I offer you my absolute support , from a distance, and wish you the very best of Goodnights. Bye fer now.

Off for a soak, and hope I don't have anyone getting in touch with questions in the early hours because I really need a decent nights sleep. So much on my mind that it is whizzing like a dervish at the moment.

Hmm can say Rosie is well she's sleeping side of hubby on the sofa

Night all sleep well, without any unwanted disturbances
Xx
