"AH DUNNO!" - 21st February

After a three-hour "mot" and overhaul by the burrow's large - very large! - computer wizard, the desktop is back in full service.

anticant had more good news from his latest hospital check-up, and doesn't have to return there for six weeks.

With Easter looming, anticant and ben have been consoling themselves with hot-cross buns. The beadle is hot and cross, after stoking the boiler and polishing up the handle on the big front door - so watch out, Zola!

Good morning Scantypants.
Put that beadle to fast.
he needs to lose weight anyway.
Starve the chap into salvation I say.

Such good news Anticant !
Happy for you..........
Will you be hiding eggs for us in the
Snug.......?

I will not.
Of course three heads are better than one but what if a person had 4 heads?
Who is to balance out the wicked beadle?

Do you suffer from the will nots?
I do.
They are those little bits of left overs that stick to the nether regions. Even with the best Izal wipes ( even with castor oil) those little tough bits "will not" go away as they say.

I suspect that our resident Beadle suffers from "will nots" just like all of us hairy mails.

"I wandered lonely as a cloud...when all at once I saw a crowd, a host of golden daffodils !"

Well, not quite yet - but any day soon.

Hi Richard....
I find it so sad, so unnecessary that a host of would-be daffodils have been torn up and ruined round here
Why oh why oh why ?

Anybody tearing up daffodils in the vicinity of the burrow WILL NOT be tolerated!

Agreed.
Unbelievable, pathetic vandalism.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vale and jungle
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden daffodungles

Should that be a DOSE of daffodungles?

No

Might that be a dose ..... ?

What are these 'hairy mails' Zola speaks of? Is it so cold up there that even the letters arrive in fur-lined envelopes?

Here at the burrow daffodils, bluebells and crocuses are well on the way and should be popping up any day now.....

And it's snug in the Snug. Doubles all round on the house.

If that beadle does not watch his step he will have hot crosses on his buns like never before.

Whatever happened to decent behaviour?
