Two Old Grumps


You probably think that this dish of chocolates is for offering to children, trick or treating.



You'd be wrong. I'm sorry, but I do not agree with trick or treating.The chocolates are all for the  'Old Grump' and me. We'll turn out the lights and hope that they think we are not at home. Yes we are a pair of 'Old Grumps'.


Of course, we don't turn them away if they do turn up, we just don't encourage something we don't agree with.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A note to my family.

Don't forget, British Summer Time ends tonight.

Geriatric Rabbit

My daughter is away for the weekend, so Mortimer Bunny Fluff  has come to stay.





He used to come with his mate, Willow Bunny Fluff, but sadly she went over the 'Rainbow Bridge' earlier this year.



 Mortimer and willow were rescued bunnies and they came from the R.S.P.C.A. Since joining our family they have been very much loved bunnies and Willow is very sadly missed.


The pictures above were taken in 2005, when the bunnies used to scamper around the house.

Mortimer is now an old man who suffers from arthritis and I'm afraid he doesn't always make it to his litter tray. So now he has to stay in his pen, but with twice daily medication and constant cleaning of his pen, he is still a happy chap.

Mortimer Today.

Cheese

What has happened to the keeping quality of cheese? I'm sure it used to last longer than one week. I was looking forward to a wensleydale cheese and apple chutney sandwich for lunch. I had to think again.


 
I'm not the only one to have noticed that cheese is not keeping very well, three other people have mentioned it to me. What are the 'creamery people' or the supermarkets, doing to it?
