They’re pretty good. I used a couple while on holiday in Phoenix. It was weird at first but got used to it. Was it a Jaguar I-Pace?

Thanks yes, he’s fine. His sister makes him feel unwelcome here so he’s at our neighbour’s.

Piglet then?!

Why not a whole pig?

Annoyingly, his chip seems not to be properly registered so we’ll be taking that up with his normal vet. Fingers crossed he’ll be ok and back to his normal self soon. Here he is in happier times when he lived at home and let me stroke him. We think his sister Hild is the problem

I need to give the city another go - on a Canada holiday a few years ago, we arrived tired in torrential rain. Added to the need to adapt to the language, I felt less enamoured than I should have

Sadly it’s the last one due to the change in control of the county council.

Delicate today?

What was the final tally, wine-wise?

Yes even better having staff who care and know stuff. I remember a DIY store in my local village near Wakefield in my childhood called Mak-a-Home - it’s still there apparently.

They’re great. I’m not sure if it was your post or someone else’s that prompted me to buy some (there goes being good!). I think I prefer the gingerbread and white chocolate cookies though. They’ve got a nice kick!
