Don't Try This At Home!

Basil the Cat has been quite poorly since October. He keeps losing the use of his back legs, but for the time being the vet can keep him going with a slow acting steroid injection.

Basil has a fetish - yes I do believe that is the right word - for plastic bags. He either lies on top of them or if possible gets right inside them and just licks them.

Keeps him happy anyway!

Pickleisms

I would like to share some of the delightful things that Pickle comes out with....



Pickle: Mummy??
Me : Yes Pickle?
Pickle: My nose is jammed up..Listen .......(silence)
Me: Jammed up!!


Pickle eating Mini Weetabix for Breakfast.
Pickle : ATISHOOOOOOOOOO!
Pickle : EEEEW, there's sneezebits on my nightie!
Me: EEEEEEEEW!


Pickle: MUM! Picklesister hit me!
Me: I'm sure she did it by accident.
Pickle : NO, she didn't. She did it BY FAULT!



I get the feeling there could be many more of these!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICKLESGRANDMA!

I would like to wish Picklesgrandma, my Mum
A very Happy 60th Birthday!

Thanks Mum for EVERYTHING you do for me and 'The Pickle's', we all appreciate it and love you very much.

Have a wonderful Birthday week, and send our love to Cliff when you see him at Wembly!

Enjoy the rest of the birthday cake!

Fireworks

This year our village didn't have any fireworks of their own. Usually the Primary School has a display on the school field, but this year they were unable to as they were 'inbetween' PTA commitees.
Picklesdad, being a fan of fireworks wanted to go somewhere like Long Melford, where they have a huge display, to music and would cost £20 for us to get in!
I, hating fireworks wanted to go as near to home (and my terrified animals) and as cheap as possible.
The result - ?

Beyton Firework Display, in a dark field! YEY!

Pretty cool photo from my compact camera on its 'Firework' setting though.

Can you tell what it is?

On Thursday last week, Pickle, Picklesgrandma and myself attended a 'share' activity afternoon at Pickle's school.

This is the result.

Can you tell what it is yet?
Answers on a postcard please........

Look what we have!

Not one but 2 (count them!) lovely tetra pak, recycling bins. No more will my garage be overrun with bags of tetra paks, awaiting a trip by car to Bury Recycling Centre!

Today I took about a third of the tetra paks I had waiting in my garage, I estimate there were 21, OK I admit it, I counted them in! So by the end of the week the garage should have a teeny bit more space in.

We are very lucky to have these bins as they are the first of their kind in the area, so for once..

WELL DONE MID SUFFOLK DISTRICT COUNCIL!

Fot those of you not lucky enough to have such lovely bins, go to

To the lady serving in Sainsbury's Cafe

NO

I do not want BAKED BEANS with my cheese omelette and SALAD because that would be DISGUSTING!
