Try Sweeties Mehefin the sort you can bite the heads off,Do not go near just throw them from afar. I fear biting heads off is not figuritive in the Mings world so best keep clear.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

MrsCD said:Would Ming like a dainty doily to sit on so she doesn't get splinters in her bottom?How about a pretty crochet cushion cover with a rather wonky inner . It would be such a shame if the priceless artifact tumbled over the other side of the fence and smashed.However years ago I went to mosaic clesses and one thing I made was a water dish/ bath for the Birdies. A large Terracotta Plant Pot Saucer with floral mosaic.It would be very OS if we crafted a memorial like that from the precious china. We could place it in the centre of our fences first making sure there are no mini loud hailers among the debris,Sunny days we could while away the hours wondering if the Ming/Mar/Madarthur really did exist or had we all tumbled down a rabbit hole like Alice.I would take myself to the Border and check out " The only Haunted Freezer in Scotland" Ian Rankin is writing the 2nd to last Rebus book so I would visit the Oxford bar and we could investigste the evil doings together.Mind you it may be a bit too quiet without her a bit of a dilemma really.pollyx

I'm sure that could be arranged. John Rebus knows all the pubs,bars and clubs as we discovered the first time we did the Rebus Trail.If you got bored you could do some dusting lots of dust collecting surfaces and items in that pic. MrsCD would probably crochet some pretty cotton dusters as a farewell gift to you. I'll try to think of a suitable farewell song to send you on your way.We had sun today and now the heavens have opened, Youngest is due at the dentists in an hour so she is not going to be happy.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
