OLAHF finally succeeded in removing the bandage from its sore paw. To no avail as it was immediately taken back to the vet who re-did it and tied a big plastic collar round OLAHF's neck so it can't reach the afflicted paw. It was NOT AMUSED. Even less so when it found it couldn't get out through the cat flap. Yelled for ages 'til someone opened the door and then it raced down the garden to rub the collar on the trunk of the plum tree. Only managed to bend it a bit and then it sprang back into shape and whacked OLAHF on the nose.

Nearly lost one of Our chickens. He had let them out and the new neighbours' gardener (How Myself wishes he would not refer to the guy as 'My Man') was digging the allotment. (Why? Always thought the whole point of an allotment was the fun of working it yourself.) Quite naturally Our chickens thought it was being done for them and went over to see what had been dug up. MM (My Man) didn't notice and nearly spiked one with the prongs of his fork.
