And the biggest animal was......

an elephant.
The smallest was probably a stripey beetle (not the scientific name) A number of these were feasting on two white mice (dead), in a small china dish.
Today we went to the zoo in Copenhagen. It is a lovely zoo, we had a scrummy picnic on arrival, spent a couple of hours perusing the wildlife & finished the day in the cafe, which, unlike the cafe at Twycross, does not give the impression that the food is prepared alongside the animals' rations.
We had coffee & chocolate whist J & DK devoured large smartie cookies.
MK, J, & DK behaved brilliantly, the only downside was that it p... down from the moment we arrived.
G says that it is "rough up North" (no change there then!) & they are due a month's rain tomorrow.
We had a month's rain in 2 hours here!
W had prepared a "very adequate" dinner, when we returned, the children are in bed & we have a glass of red wine & Top Gear on TV (you can't win them all!)

W's computer has this strange little mouse contraption, on a lead, which takes a bit of getting used to.

I've travelled all this way to find something interesting to put on my blog, will somebody bother to comment, even if it's only a "Hello".

I retract some of the mouse comment, the one with a lead isn't attached to this computer at all - that's where I was going wrong.
This mouse is not tethered at all!

Hello!!!!!!!!
Just thought you'd like to know Jess was brilliant at swimming today - she swam without her armbands - so she's very pleased with herself.

She is also VERY pleased with her new swimming bag - thank you very much.
Glad you are having a great time.
See you next week

Has the last anonymous ever met you ?
Sermons are the buy-word of the middle-class matriarch.

There is no shame in being a middle class matriarch.
The sermons are because I am a (Lay) Reader - C of E & take the services in our local churches about every other week. As we have 4 churches & one priest - Readers take the non-communion services.

Having looked again at the last comment, is "buy" a typo?
Sermons are dedication &,hopefully, inspiration.
Not available at M&S.

Think it should be by-word or even bye-word, certainly not bi-word.
