Quote from the great sceptical scientist that is Fester (BSc MSc Phd Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society)
"Well we can't celebrate my 65th birthday because, you know what'll happen, someone will die."
This is because his brother dropped dead the week before his 60th birthday.
I have pointed out that we hadn't planned to celebrate anyway, and asked who did he think was going to die 
this time.
He's now asked what 'we' are doing for his birthday.
Mrs Quilt It'll be interesting to see what HE comes up with

I promised to knit a Queen to go with the corgi for LDNE. Here she is.*
That silver lurex yarn is a bugger to work with.
Thanks Mrs Quilt, she is based on the knit your own Royal Wedding pattern book you lent me.
Miss Doozer  I particularly like the attention to detail on the crown
Mrs Lasagne  Love it!
FifiD  Love it!  I’d buy her !!
Cousin Daisy  Your talent for needlework and knitting. Fab u Lous xxx

If you saw Death Valley (BBC1 last night) the town in the opening credits is Llandeilo.
I had to get Thunderthighs down out of the loft to show him.

*I added the pair of angel wings when HM Queen Elizabeth passed away.  I wondered whether people might find it disrespectful but far from it.  Most years she is the angel at the top of LDNE’s Christmas tree.  The corgi, on the other hand, went walkabout and hasn’t been seen since.
