Ah..that's hecause Diego would have known he'd get the blame. Now he has a fall guy in training. Always check your wellies before putting them on from now on

Very sorry to hear of Rocky's passing.

The ticket machines in car parks that take your money only to chuck it out again. You are left with having to try to talk a fellow passenger or another car owner into swapping change at the ticket machine until the damned machine finds a 50 pence piece that it approves of.

The mice have neatly excavated and carried off all of the 24 broad beans which I planted in modules in the greenhouse last week. All that's left today is 24 neat little holes

Will have to replant and build wire mesh anti-mouse fortifications.

My two cats..useless!!
