ooops. posted too soon

there ye go

The fan is hiding her head, I believe, but I haven't bothered to check. She's only a servant.

We HAD donkeys.

We HAD donkeys.

Fortunately I don't believe you else I might start thinking about cochineal.

Take two...

With chocolates!

😳😱😰

Fine!! Proof the donkeys are still alive. (And kicking! Ow!)

Boily do stop it with the glue threats. You know how your meaty antics set my veggie teeth ( including an implant) on edge..

I love the chocolates but the tigers have to go. The gerbils will worry that I'll start eating them if I get hungry. As will Magpie, Blackbird and Puffin.

I know you mean well, Boily, but I don't want scare away my friends.

I tried to get them to leave, but they are insistent on staying the night and travelling in the daylight.

They have agreed for the door to their room to be guarded by the seagull bouncers though.

That middle Donkey has been playing with Escher again. We'd better call in the extraction team and give her a talking-to.

Ah, Myrtle... What you have to remember is that Blackbird, Puffling and I can fly. Whereas you... Can't.

I'm a modern, liberated woman, who is perfectly capable of fitting windscreen wipers. However, would it absolutely kill a certain large autoparts chain to print some basic instructions on the box? Small bag of random plastic bits included and not a hint of what you're supposed to do with them!

Come off it myrtle you ate the head, you did didn’t you?

just confess

I'm delighted our friends Kev and Steve are back. Are the eggs sufficiently grown up yet to help? ( I've forgotten their names. Sharon?)

Ah Magpie, I did mine yesterday. But being a cheapskate, I just bought the rubber bit and changed that. I've always found it by far the easiest way.

Except it seems you can only buy rubber replacements in quantities sufficient to change 12 wipers. Anyone need a new windscreen wiper blade?

I'm rapidly coming round to your way of thinking on this, Fuzzy!

Right. This place is looking impressive including the new sanitarium. Can TB be situated next to a (safe, not crumbling) cliff edge please? As part of the sanitarium, I’d just love to sit in a wheelchair with a tartan blanket over my knees pushed outside for some sunshine and bracing sea air to rest and recover from the insanity of life. Hmm it might be a bit early in the year though so also content with one of the soft chairs by the fire with a faux fur blanket and the gerbils bringing over a hot toddy.

@DrBlackbird I do believe there is a Caribbean area that is hot and sunny, just past a stream, and the horse with no name….

A horse with no name? I've been through the desert on him. It felt good to be out of the rain.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's just a long-haired tribble, isn't it?

The kids are teenagers now.

It's going well, they all appear to be taking after their father!

Sharon is the mum. I don't know that they'd got round to naming the chick's. Possibly they raise them as coots do and they don't wish to get too attached in case they have to...downsize😳

Was Dad a pigeon? I don't remember.

They had 4 chicks, 3 had S names and then I think the fourth was something like Kevinetta. It was back around the first or second pub!
