Morning Piq, glad the Captain is working on the scoff it now and worry about it later theory, it's one I can relate to.
That was lovely of your DD and I'm sure if the boot was on the other foot you'd do the same. Have a great day

Oh wow! I had to go and look at the trailer for Mirror Mirror, I want to see it now! The horses look amazing dressed up. The Captain wore some reindeer antlers for a Christmas fancy dress party once, hardly in the same league...

He's always scoffed now and never worried where the next meal is coming from!
I've just saved the life of a mouse by being horrid to the Bear. I looked out the window and he was proudly carrying a mouse towards the cat flap:eek: I moved as fast as I could [not a pretty sight when some bits of me carry on moving after I have stopped...] and locked the cat flap. Shouted at the Bear from the kitchen window, he didn't drop the mouse, so I threw a glass of water over himHe dropped the mouse and shot under the car as quickly as he could! The mouse ran under the car too [how stupid are mice?] So I had to run out armed with another glass of water and chucked it under the car. The Bear shot out from the other side, but without the mouse, and is now sulking on top of the fence post. I hope the mouse is okay...

He's attended a lot of fancy dress parties, he has no issues with being dressed up. In his time he's been one of the four horses of the Apocalypse, he wanted to be Famine, but was too rounded, so went as War. He's been Harry Potter's broomstick, Superhorse and a carrot [I was dressed as a rabbit]

Hi Piq
Just popping in. Great to hear about the new plots you and your DD have dreamt up... And the stockpile in case of a world war!! Really lovely of her and very practical!
I love the idea of the Captain dressed up..maybe he could be an extra..as you say Warhorse..or anything medieval!
I also like the idea of a PT letting agent...now that I can see!:T
'speak' soon

He could only star in a Cowboys and Indians movie as an Indian's horse or a caravan pulling role. You rarely see the colourful horses winning the race or carrying the General into war. :rotfl:Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
