Lay a wallaby baby ball away, Al

[todayiamadaisy]

When I go for my walks on the beach, there are often caravans or camper vans in the car park. They're not meant to stay there overnight, but obviously they do rather than pay camping fees in the caravan park next door. Tsk. Anyway, this morning there was a van there, and when I went down the steps, there were two people in sleeping bags on the beach. It was warm last night, I suppose, so it would have been quite nice to sleep there. I wouldn't though, because the midges would be all over them. It was worse than that, though, because when I came back, the two slightly baffled looking people were sitting up, completely surrounded by about twenty hungry seagulls.

In today's paper was a baby called Jaxon David Norman Brian, Brian being his surname. How weird that he has three perfectly reasonable names and not one of them is the one he will be called by.

I went to visit my mother today, and her partner John was looking particularly pleased. My mother has bought him a new hat. It's a baseball cap to wear when he goes into the space under the house, they explained. Very nice, but wouldn't his old baseball cap do just as well for that? No, John told me, because... he touched the cap and headlights came on (his is tan, not camouflage). As the packaging says, it has 'stealth LEDs in the brim'. I'm sure we'll all be wearing them this time next year.
