well cappy #20
i have not heard of the religious order he claims he belongs to but he says he was a practising foxtrot, so maybe that explains some of the things hes responsible for carrying out, he sounds like a depraved individual with extensive sexual diviate pastimes, he obviously needs help,but as he frightened the nuns away i can only think of some penal colony where he could be sent to so the rest of civiised society can be safe.

Re: swallows
We have a bird here called a 'Rosella'.
Member of the parrot family and millions of them.
We had visitors from UK and they were a bit soft.
Saw some of them and asked what were they, told them and then said we make soup from them.
Is it tasty they asked?
Next day in the supermarket I showed them where to find the 'Rosella' soup, a very popular brand here.
Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: swallows
morning keith .....good news although it has not seen a lot of snow ......it has been a cold long damp winter ....perhaps not helped by the process of aging a wee bit ....yes it is good to see them scudding about.....and they certainly give us a boost .....we are thinking of taking our grandaughter up to shields for the holiday next week ....but the forecast is not good and of course the NE coast always has a colder wind even in spring so might just stay in yorkshire .....doesnt seem so many years ago that just jeans and shirt were worn summer and winter in shields ....which of course the young ones still do .....anyway glad you have your swallows ...and enjoy there swooping about .....best wishes cappy
