Sainsbury tames the shrew & John get laid -- sorry laying!

My number one daughter Caroline mentioned that she didnt think she had ever seen a shrew so heres a pic.  Cute little whiskers Mmmmm
The 2p piece giving an indication of the shrews size denotes its hardly worthy of being called a trophy but Sainsbury the tabby cat seems not to be too bothered by this.  This was Friday's "trophy" and we had a similar one this morning!  I posed a question in an earlier post about why cats dont east shrews - - the answer is "because the skin glands in European common shrews secrete a substance that predators find repellent".   Sainsbury seems to ignore this until he has despatched the poor creature! 

It was stop press news on Thursday when our "Gardener" neighbour John was spotted laying the turf, we had  imagined it would be in its original rolled up position well past Christmas day.  
So well done John on a first class job.  I'm sure that when the Conservatory does get erected, no sign of a structure as yet, it will have a lovely green "sward" outside its door.  Here is a pic of the laid turf 

It looks a bit stripy because its been rolled up for a while but I feel sure it will recover.  Watch this space for developments. 

I am to be abandoned by my long suffering wife this evening in favour of a night out with a "gang" from work.  Since she announced her intention to take time out from full time work a number of her colleagues have been organising "Chaz Vegas".  Not sure what's on the cards but as the company is paying for Sally to stay at a Chesterfield hotel for the night it looks as if I wont find out until I play chauffeur Sunday morning. A report will follow!
