New year

I hope the village had a fantastic Christmas, I'm just off to catch up
on all the gossip and have my fence ready to lean on as I think it may
take some time.

Is anyone doing exciting things over the New Year? Having been a
little busy over Christmas (and even more so on the run up what with 2
out of 4 stupid inspections) I'm now in a position to relax and
consider. Kaiserdad and the elephant/tigger cross are staying here
after his operation (he's lighter by one kidney and a few squishy
bits) and so we're having a fairly restained New Year. The wonderful
ppint is coming to entertain us (probably armed with chocolate
yummies, book type things and unusual items culled from the depths of
the Big Red Monster). TV may play a part in our celebrations as I was
given SKY for Christmas, the satelite dish had been put up above the
front door over a week before and I never noticed. (In my defence I
do use the front door when it's dark - what counts against me is the
wacking great lamppost by 9 foot away just by the gate.)

If anyone would like to join in our merriment at the school house just
give a shout.

Well, the earwigs haven't done anything _excessively_ horrid, which
makes a change... the woodlice are now being Literary... and the
Weather Witch is being enthusiastic.

Can't do the televisual thing as the flyback resonance hurts, but I'll
be happy to run up food, TS, and so on...

Here's the plan. You drop hints to them that the pupils are so unruly
that they'll have to turn up in armour... no inspector -> no report.
