I summerize our story:

Once upon a time, a very long time ago there lived a vegetarien saber tooth. He loved all the small and big grass eating animals around him and he don`t want to eat them. His favorite food was beetroot.....................

......Which he ate so much of that his hide turned purple. The herbivores grazed and frolicked all around him, and knew he would do them no harm. But the poor beetroot were terrified of his ginormous gnashers. so they got together and devised a plan............................

........They decided to roll around in stinging nettles, since they were immune to them, hoping that old sabre tooth would soon realize beet root is not to be trifled with. . . .



Who wants to continue ? Thanks to our authors Adam and Yvonne.:)

But they wanted to make sure the stinging nettles would go along with this plan, so they needed to send a messenger. Since beetroots live in the ground, they asked if any of the butterflies would bring their request to the stinging nettles. "I'll go!" said the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly. "Great," said the beetroots. "We'd be very grateful if they'd help us out!" The Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly knew where the stinging nettles grew because when the butterfly was a tiny larva, it loved to eat stinging nettle...

4. is an elephant's nostrils
5. is a toy piggy bank
6. is a toy chicken
7. is a soft toy bunny
8. is a coffee mug
9. is 2 pictures together: a remote control and a camera
10. is a toy dog's nose
11. looks like what we call a "Pony Tail Palm," also called an "Elephant's Foot Palm."
12. is curds of cheese
13. is leaf of a pothos
14. is a lovely close-up of a tortoise scute
15. is a toy fish-face

Oh heck, what fun and games have I missed?

We went to see Luton v Carlisle spur of the moment. It was a very cold and wet 3-0 win that put Luton at the top of League 2 :)

Luton won 7-0 on Saturday... Three of their goals were scored by two brothers. One of them scored from their own half so kicked the ball more than half the the length of the pitch into the goal! And their Dad had gone to see the rugby international instead :D

We are just home and it’s coming up to midnight. Time for a quick cuppa and then bed.

Tomorrow... postcards from Brighton (a seaside city on the south coast)

Wow, 7-0!!! The dad must have expected it to be a rather one-sided game. :D

...As an astute reader might have guessed, the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly had a cunning plan of her own. (In fact, it was as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University.) While posing as a messenger from the Beetroots, she would deposit her precious tiny eggs all over the Stinging Nettles so that her larvae, when they emerge, could enjoy the same feast she once had. With that plan in mind, she headed straight to the Mother Stinging Nettle and her offspring. Unfortunately, two arrogant young butterflies, the girlfriends of butterfly superstars named Peacock and Red Admiral, had had a similar idea only two days ago and, to Mother Nettle’s horror, vandalized three of her more tender offspring. The Mother Stinging Nettle hadn’t seen it coming then, but now she was prepared. She asked the dandelion to send a messenger to the Formidable Mr. Wasp...

Now Mr Wasp was something of a hipster trendsetter. His gaudy striped clothing was designed to attract as much attention as possible and, naturally, he believed that organic was the only way to live. While the dandelion and stinging nettle fitted his ethos, could he be convinced that the Beetroot was worthy of his assistance...

Good morning all and Happy Birthday to @Gillian Moore. I do hope the two Olis are sufficiently recovered to celebrate your special day with you :)

The sun is shining, but it is very windy. We are on our way to Brighton

PS
I fear the worst for the apps. :(
Good afternoon, Linda and hope you're all well. :)

Many thanks the birthday wishes, appreciate it. :<3:

The two Olis are ready to celebrate, though they want to go back to Fes where it's warmer, right @Tidgy's Dad ? ;) Temperature has dropped here considerably and it's been pouring with rain.

Love,
Gillian and the two Olis! :<3: :<3:

Doing anything nice today, Gillian?
It is warmer here and we have no rain, but that's a problem.
Much of the country is now suffering from a drought.
Please send a donkey with some rain to us. :D
