The thief lives(ed) in drawer?


No, not possible, because I'd have found him/ her when I searched that drawer 6 or 8 times.

The garden birds don't seem to like the peanuts that I bought for them yesterday, but they are scoffing prodigious quantities of seed from the feeder, even if a lot ends up on the ground.

In other news, the postman brought the inflatable dinghy that Mrs S ordered, so we will be able to beach test it on Saturday when our niece brings the barbarian hordes down to ransack our fridge and larder for the day.

We have landed in Tewksbury. It's a fab evening, warm and still. After a perusal around the town and Abbey tomorrow we are off to Morton in the Marsh for a night. Then ........

It's whippet puppy picking time :hyper::hyper::hyper:

It's Moreton-in-Marsh. I used to work there many years ago.

Be very very careful if you use the A44. It looks like a straight road with good visibility, but there are lots of "hidden dips", which can be deadly if you are not aware of them.

Are you sure it is you picking the puppy, or is the puppy choosing you? ^_^

Morning all, sleep appears to be elusive :sad:

Must have been named by a Yorkshireman.

I suppose it went through a phase of being Moreton-In-t-Marsh for a while, but I believe the modern trend in Yorkshire is to omit the “t” altogether while leaving an appropriate pause, twisting your neck and bulging your eyes slightly so that the listener is in no doubt that this is where the missing consonant should go.

I think the correct name is probably Moreton-In- -Marsh now.
