By Crikey it's cold.
I went for my walk the other night and the fence at the end of the world - by the way I know now it is not the end of the world but it is such a good name I keep it - was so icy when I came back I was skidding all over the place.
Max was watching me from inside the house and when I got in he said "Have you been out drinking? I saw you rolling along that fence!"
I didn't think that was particularly funny as I could have slipped off and hurt myself.
Max has a funny sense of humour sometimes.
Anyway next morning I went out into the garden as usual and there was this huge chunk of frozen water on the grass. I looked at it carefully and noted the dimensions matched exactly with those of the wheel-barrow the two legs is always pushing around in the Summer. I remembered it was the day the bin man comes and I guess the two legs must have emptied the wheel-barrow of ice when he put the bins out.
I went over and started to lick it and - yes - you guessed it - my tongue stuck to the ice block.
Isn't it funny when something like that happens, everyone suddenly appears.
Sebastian popped out from under the lavender bush "Something got your tongue laddie?" he bellowed, putting his paw up in the air for effect.
Max was next on the scene "Oh well he'll be there until the thaw in Spring" he announced joyfully to no-one in particular.
Just then my mum appeared from over the fence and in a flash she was down beside me and she laid against my face. I thought she was going to suffocate me but ina few seconds my tongue freed itself and I moved to lick her thanks.
Too late she was gone back over the fence with Max in hot pursuit.
Blood is thicker than water you know
