Today’s wildlife incident
Walking along with the kids and dog, mouth open as I spoke, I felt something hit the back of my throat.
“Yeark!” I said, and the thing jammed up in the back bit between my nose and throat. “Yearkkk!”
A cloud of small flies flitted about our heads.
“There was an old lady who swallowed a fly,” said my eight-year-old, “I don’t know why she swallowed a fly.”
“Perhaps she’ll DIE!” shrieked my six-year-old.
This is what happens when you teach them to read.

I swallowed a fly just before Christmas. I sent in a truffle to get it. Then a mince pie. Two slices of beef wellington and 3 slices of Christmas cake. 4 whiskey macs and a whole bottle of wine. And a cheese. I don’t know why.
BEWARE THE HORSE!
