    Aaahhhh.....NAples! Of course!!

    I had a rather disturbing phone call during the early hours of this morning; a swarthy sounding 'polizzia' (whose English was rather good but the connection not as much) was asking about breakfast jellies & do I have a Highland cattle herd.
    When she started on about ladies baby-feeding equipment I hung up & unplugged the phone, convinced I was being targeted for another "social experiment" on a Mediterranean version of ch4!

    It might have been Fabio (Mrs Doyle's nephew,who's joined the Ennessdee Towers' household)...he's a bit of a prankster.

    Rest assured BMF,I'll get my good friend Inspector Swindle of the Yard on it prontissimo.

    Number 8 NSD now landing in the Cauldron of Doom, due to being kept busy at work today. Only a short shift, though, normally I would still be there at this time. Instead we have had home made pizza and salad for dinner and I am now in my PJs with a fleecy throw round me, catching up on the online stuff. What an exciting life I lead.

    Igor, tighten the chains a bit more. Chef, stand by with your bazookie. Hubert, fetch the leftover Brussels sprout curry.

    Now, Fabio my lad, you might be playing Mr Tough Guy but you are in deep trouble. Everybody talks in the end, once faced with the Brussels sprout curry! Admit it, you are the cowardly rotter who has been making filthy phone calls to BigMumma !

    Ve haf vays of making you talk....

    Last three days have all been spendy days. Petrol, bills, flowers for mum, new washing machine. Hopefully will have a lot more NSDs in the second half of the month.
