Wildlife woes
« on: January 29, 2009, 03:27:06 PM »
I quite like animals, especially mammals. I come from a long line of mammals myself and most of my friends are mammals. I even married a mammal (I think).

OK, mammals do tend to behave oddly: suddenly shag your leg, explode, attack, butt, make strange noises and so on, but hey, that's mammals for you. And you can't trust horses. Ever.

Frogs and things in the slithery department are a  noooo:

Insects I prefer to keep at a distance, especially big ones with lots of eyes.

And that brings us to worms.

The Boy has brought home some worms from school. I don't even mind that. It's just that they are those sort of worms which live inside you  evil:


The Boy and I have had our pills and await developments  sick2:

I shall be giving Mrs Nick her dosage this evening  eveilgrin:

She may find that bucket useful after all  eveilgrin:

He had a nickname for it, and when he ate he'd say one for me and one for "George"  whacky115

I was thinking of a gerl's name. It doesn't feel like a George  rubschin:

Speaking of which my mate Tony is visiting next weekend. I must ask him what his elephant's name is (he's not bringing it)*
















*At least I don't think he is  eeek:

I maight have imagined that bit. When someone tells you you may have a 25 foot long wild animal inside you your imagination can get a bit fevered.

Anyhoo, off to the flamenco evening soon. Mustn't forget anything.
