The Aussies came to visit Them yesterday afternoon, and Cleo really enjoyed playing with Them, especially with Midge who wanted some fun straight away; Mina took a bit longer to make her mind up about the Strangers. Lynsay took some very nice pics so, at Merry's earlier behest, here are some of them.

Now to business!
This is fun!
Time for a rest
What's going on?

Like the late Chaircat Midge, I am not always right.

They certainly did, Tom! The Aussies are on their way to Scotland today, but are stopping in Leicester - I think to see all about Richard III whose skeleton a few years ago was found buried in the Social Services car park under the parking space marked 'R'. I am not joking, I think that is true! Richard III's remains were reinterred in a special service in Leicester Cathedral.

Ha! I remember when that happened. There was a fun joke they made about it on Austrian national radio. But I need to provide some context for that one. xDOurCreature wrote: ↑Sat Dec 10, 2022 2:08 pm They certainly did, Tom!

So, there is this guy in Austria who is very rich and owns a ton of properties including a huge shopping mall in Vienna. His name is Richard Lugner and the mall is called "Lugner City". Now, he is not the youngest person (he's about 90, I think) and therefore has dentures, which in German are called "die Dritten" aka "the third" (because they are the third set of teeth you get, after you lose your first two).
And when they discovered Richard III, the guy on the radio said: "See, there's the difference between Britain and Austria. In Britain, they find Richard the Third underneath a car park, but underneath Lugner City, you'll only find Richards "third.""

OC what absolutely lovely pictures, you will treasure those! Lynsay has caught some wonderful expressions on his Lord and her Ladyship's faces.

End of term they had a punk-themed party at her school. I thought she looked like an embryo Urban Goth in the pre-party pic Lynsay posted of her on FB and said so. That's when the new hair colour came in, and the little devil still likes it. Her natural hair colour is light brown which yours truly thinks is much nicer; but what do I know.......................
