On trips back-and-fro to my shed, i noticed a number of my tools going astray and then returned only to be put back in the wrong place. (i'm not anal about where my tools are stored, but i did notice the difference)
My pile of wood i was saving to whittle into a Rickenbacker guitar (with flight case) had also dwindled to a few off-cuts.
Thinking i was going mad, i left to go to work and on my return what do i find? Spiffey had knocked up a scaled replica of Sing-Sing prison complete with electrified fences.
In cell no 7, there was the biggest fucking rabbit i had ever seen. "The gang" (see earlier post) had kidnapped the thing and were holding it to ransom for various tinned food items.
Little did they know that Tommy the dog was sent in by the police to instigate a break out. The plan was to tunnel under the perimeter fence and drag the rabbit to safety. Trouble is; the dog's sense of direction isn't that good and instead of a tunnel, he dug a trench - thus blowing his cover. If you add the attraction of a full cup of sweetened tea into the bargain, his internal compass went haywire.
Result - Rabbit is still banged up; the cat's demands have extended to include bottles of strawberry milkshake; I had to make another cup of tea and i now have a trench the size of the San Andreas fault line in my back garden.
All in all, a right old to-do.
The Rabbit is staked out to the floor in the searing heat.
Tommy starts to go adrift in his quest
He gives up and has it away with my tea
I'm left with a, not too pretty garden feature.

Delbut, I've missed you!
Too busy trying to handle my own blog that tends to take on a life of its own.
The madness continues in the Welsh countryside, too, I see!
Bravo to all you brave, yet not to bright, pets!
;)
Dale
Oh no, another mad hatter. :) Where's Richard Adams when you need him? He could do Watership Down by Delbut's Place or something....
Oh, and Del, Pete's blog is back up and running.

Don't ask me how I know.

Hi Delbut
Haven't dropped in for a very long time...my loss, I think! This is a beaut! I thought I was a bit OTT about my dog, but....needless to say I love it!
If that's how Wales works, I think I should go back there...used to go every year for my hols when I was a kid, but that was a VERY long time ago.
Thanks for making me chuckle!
Love
Val
PS Enjoy the Who tonight! Sorry for the fact you have a spare ticket there at all, but hope you get a fun taker

Thanks for your understanding words on my blog Delbut..you're quite a sweetheart too, bless you.
What a lovely thing to say..xx
I just love your dog's trench..seems he's got depths that need plumbing...although I see no pipes in there yet..;-)
I sort of told everyone about your Father in Law because we all love you and want to support! Hope you feel the love! I know everyone here was so kind to me with the loss of my Grandfather I was so close to and my numerous blogs about him! LOL no one complained when I went on and on so BRING IT DEL! And LACE......HAHAHA on the one handed 10000000000000 WPM! I don't kiss and tell so I hope that leaves you wondering about my cyber affair here. LOL

Hi Delbut,
I hope you are feeling better...
Yes, Catalonia wants to be separate from Spain, just like Basque Country...Let's say that the relations between people from Barcelona and people from Madrid are not expected to be very good, but this is to exaggerate.....They've got a very strong feeling of independentism and nationalism that people from the rest of Spain don't understand and don't support, specially people from Madrid (maybe because it's the capital) who want Spain to be one State.
I sometimes hear opinions of radical people from Barcelona and Madrid, and I get really scared, that's the problem.
Football Match: Real Madrid vs Barcelona....The Revolution!!!!
I will be very pleased if you and Sarah come to visit me!!! Yo will be very welcome!!!
Love,
Elena

You crack me up.
How's it going Del?
~Lace~
OMG, I never saw the posts about your father-in-law...I'm so very sorry, Delbut. I hope you and your wife are coping with the sadness of loss. It seems to be a tough time for a number of our friends here in blogland, and I'm just sad to see you among them. Hoping that sharing is also healing.
I'm just about to catch a train to take me to meet Koos who is already on the way by boat to Belgium (couldn't get to him last night), We'll be away for a week, but will be thinking of you.
Love and hugs
Val
Del,
Do you know that job actually came in handy when trying to get rid of weirdos at the club scene back in the 80s?? The conversation would go something like this:
~Unwelcome Interested (Usually Toothless) Guy~ "So, what's your name?"
~Lace, looking past or around him with one word answers~ "Jennifer Taylor." (or Amber Richards or whatever other fake name that came to the top of my head at that moment)
~UIUTG~ "Wow, that's like a model's name!"
~Lace, sipping on soda~ "Uh huh."
~UIUTG~ "And so, where do you live?"
~Lace~ "Tyler, Texas" (or Richmond Virginia, or some other very, very distance city in another state).
~UIUTG~ "Oh wow, that's far!"
~Lace, still sipping on soda~ "Uh huh. Very far."
~UIUTG~ "So, like what's your sign?"
~Lace, still looking anywhere but AT him~ "Scorpio." (the only truthful answer so far)
~UIUTG~ "Wow, that's like supposed to be a bad sign."
~Lace, one leg dangling and swinging~ "So they say."
~UIUTG (why is it this particular type of guy just doesn't catch any of the obvious hints)~ "well, uh, what do you do? For a living I mean."
~Lace~ Still sipping, one leg still dangling, but looking at him directly now~ "I wash old nuns".
~Lace, watching UIUTG suddenly beating a hasty retreat~ "Seeee ya."
Worked like a charm every time. looking forward to your new blog. Link me when it's up. I'll forgive you for foregoing the 20, you did afterall hire me as Trevor's stand in. A position I covet. Consider it a pay back (grin).
