50+ and proud of it.

I've had a small fish pond in the garden for about three years now and have never had to cover it with netting to stop the herons, which, incidentally, have never been seen in our area. Last week however, my neighbour informed me that he had "frightened off a heron which was sitting on the garage roof." Sadly it looks like the heron had snuck in a day or two earlier and had a sumptuous meal of four goldfish with a tench for afters. If catch that heron, I'll hold its beak under water until it's had enough...

I had a phone call yesterday from the Care Worker for my Mom. "Hello, your Mom will be home next week. We'll put the care package back in place and we'll let the neighbours know." "So, I don't have to do a thing?" "No, bye" *click* Thank you, Wolverhampton Social Services.
