Storm!

It was mostly 'flash' and 'bang' and not enough rain.

'Oh, Happy Day!'

Hurrah!We drove to Morningside this afternoon....and there in Foodworks was Vimto!

"Are you the guys from the internet?" asked a chap.....it wasn't Andre.

"We are!"

"Tell all your British friends," he said.

I didn't like to tell him that I don't have any here in Australia.

"Are you the guys from Facebook?".....it was Andre...."I sent you the message as soon as it came in!"

"Thanks very much!" I beamed.

We also bought some lunch and drove down to Colmslie Recreation Reserve and ate it by the river.

Talk of the Devil.

Will was out at Choir last night.I saw Dulcie to bed. I got her a new blouse out of the wardrobe but must not have shut it properly."Just close that door," she said, "I don't want any cockroaches running about."I didn't either."I haven't seen any cockies recently," she went on."Me, either," I said.It was asking for trouble.I went downstairs and settled down on the sofa in the Man- Cave.I heard a strange rattling, whirring noise close by my head and turning, saw something whizz along the top of the sofa back.At first I thought it was the Huntsman spider.I leapt up and saw immediately that it was a big, brown, shiny cockroach!It was fast!.......but not fast enough.It made a mistake in showing itself to me.....a fatal mistake!

Breaking news!

Just in!......Andre from Foodworks at Morningside has sent me a message...."Vimto Cordial now in stock!"I replied......."Fan-flippin'-tastic"I think he is my new favourite Goth- like person!
