Small Talk #52

by

We had great fun at the animal farm. There was Spartacus, the daddy of all the llamas. The notice said "We can bite" so of course we didn't dare feed them. Silly llamas.

We saw lambs, pink flamingoes (only one leg each!), giant tortoises, peacocks with fantastic feathers, goats and their kids. (I'm a kid but I don't look like them!)

Then it was a tractor ride and round and round the roundabout with Mummy. Fun!

Best was stroking Bernard the bearded dragon and a pet rat. I think the rat was very scared of Baba.

Baba doesn't like rats!

    I'm with Baba! When I used to live in the country we had field rats that were bigger than some cats that were in the area! You think you're living in the Twilight​ Zone when you see a rat chasing a cat!

    Another great one, Neville.

    Thanks Christopher... I've had interfaces with rats recently... looking in our French windows, bold as brass! And of course there's Mrs H's ratskin purse I made before we wed. I was devastated when I realised it had been thrown away without ever having been used. Ingratitude or what?!

    Apparently she didn't give a rat's ass about it!

    Haha! I'll tell her and see what she says! (I suspect she will be totally unrepentant). Watch this space... :-)
