What a wonderful thing for you to do!!!I'll settle for elderberries as long as no wasps are attracted to them.
Good morning all!
We had rather a lot of rain yesterday. Over an inch
I am going round later to tidy up over there. The bin needs emptying and a lot of plates and cups need a trip to the dishwasher.
Now we come to a certain bright
morning in May when something
happened that changed and indeed electrified Mr Adam's life. And it wasn't the faulty wiring in his laboratory, either.
He was leaning over his balcony-rail watching Mrs wifey serving Alfie his breakfast.
"Here's the heart of the lettuce for you, my lovely", she was saying. "And here's a slice of fresh tomato and a piece of crispy celery."
Mr Adam knew from the not invented yet Tortoise Forum and Tortoise Table that this romaine lettuce was okay for torts, but especially the heart, had a too high water content, so the tortoise could easily become stuffed without getting the sufficient quantities of vitamins and minerals that it needed. And he knew that tomato , as a fruit was bad because of all of the nasty indigestible sugars that it contained and the acids that can, in extreme cases, effect the natural tortoise stomach flora and prevent it from being able to break down the cellulose in its normal diet! And he knew that celery leaves contain high levels of oxalates and it's seeds are diuretic, it is too high in carbohydrates, too high in sodium and the calcium to phosphate ratio was poor as well. Poor Alfie did not have a suitable diet. But Mr Adam was too shy to say anything and he wasn't particularly fond of Alfie anyway as he was increasingly suffering from Tortoise Envy. So :"Good morning, Mrs wifey," Mr Adam said. "Alfie's looking well this morning."
"Isn't he gorgeous! " Mrs wifey said, looking up and beaming at him.

I'm trying to figure out how the stick figures into the story. Hm-m-m-m. . . the suspense builds.
Errrrrrrrrrrrr, it's supposed to represent the railing on the balcony.
Ahem.
And I like sticks.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE !
Housewives ! (and househusbands) (and unmarried shoppers).
I find the best way to get two bottles of washing-up liquid for the price of one is by putting one in your shopping trolley and one in your coat pocket.

ADAM!!!!! Naughty!!!!!
I have never done shoplifting.
Perhaps I should start in my second childhood.
"Adam's Helpful Hints" has taken a turn onto the dark side. You were very cautious about not talking religion, how about that other rule we have about not talking about doing illegal things?

You are quite right, i would never advocate stealing anything except camels. if this gets me banned than so be it. i once stole £10 from my mother's purse to buy a book i wanted so, so much.
Then i felt so bad that in the bookshop I ran away and went home to put the money back.
Goodness, no stealing folks !
Crikey

I have to bookmark your link to Esio Trot on my PC.
I noticed not to do comments there, not to interrupt the story.
My day was a litte bit lazy, but I love lazy days. People always are busy doing this and doing that and never take time for themselves. That`s not the way to enjoy a life.

(I'd even make sure you had CHEESE!!!)Oh, I seriously wish i could, Maggie !
Face to face and with a couple of beers, I reckon we'd have a riot.
Enjoy !
I have lots of scoot parking, and maybe I'll cook. Too bad, I know it's just wishful dreaming. I'd love to have a whole group together....what fun!
