We've got enough trouble in The Channel with ship wrecked timber, so I hope they're not blown this way.

*thinks...Can they navigate without getting lost?*

I suppose it could sound like three clogs then really?

Navigate Gwyn, you must be joking. I think you should be OK, they should stay this side of England!!, it is a long way to float round to your side and by the time they do somebody will have pinched all the wood. (Well they would have if it was heading down south!)

aaahhh, all I can hear in my head now is The windmill in old Amsterdam song (I saw a mouse)


AAAAAHHHHH


A Windmill In Old Amsterdam

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus

First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, and triplets and twins in
They sang every morning, "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam, ya!"

Chorus

The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christ'nin's when no one was list'nin'
They all sang in chorus, "How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus

A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.

Lesley, good lateral thinking there. Took me a while to work out the connection but it was the mouse with clogs on wasn't it?

sorry Lesley, i forgot, she probably doesn't even know who we are!!

Gwyn, make another crutch for SueM while you are at it, one to last until Feb because hopefully she will be throwing it away then.

Thanks BC.
That should make things easier........

How tall is she Ann?
I wouldn't like her to be hampered by an unsuitable item.

About this tall Gwyn * holds hand above head* I think, although when she is talking to me she is usually sitting or lying so who knows?
