Thanks everyone.
No, Dex.  It had to be operated on quickly because the bones had actually shattered.  Can't leave lots of bits of bones swimming about.
Yes, Ashy.  She hasn't clouted me since her fall, because her left hand is/was her fighting hand.  It was also her writing and drawing hand, but due to lots of practice, she is painting with her right hand now and her handwriting is almost legible.

It does, for the organisations!  They've passed the admin on to the customers.

My daughter lives nearby, often walks there.  It seems he may have been autistic.  The enclosures are pretty safe, it must have taken some effort to get in.

Quote from: Mups on October 10, 2026, 10:53:00 PMThere was a programme on telly tonight about all the old music from the 70's.   

I didn't think I would enjoy it,  but surprisingly,  I did, it was full of memories of my younger days.
It was good to  see and hear all the old stars of yesteryear again, who  most of us probably grew up with. 
Proper songs, with nice words, and a lot of love songs.

Who remembers some of these people:

A very young Mick Jagger,  Rod Stewart,  Paul McCartney, a young Eton John,  Leo Sayer, Brotherhood of Man,  ShowWaddyWaddy, The Walker Brothers,  Demis Roussos, The Four Seasons,  Dolly Parton,  Johnny Mathis -  (still alive and 91 now),  and many more lovely old song and faces.


Can you remember what you were up to 50 years ago,  in 1976? 
I remember them all! In 1976, both kids were at school, I was working in the office of a seafood factory, my OH was making a decent living in clubs, singing songs made famous by some of those artistes. We knew Sandra from Brotherhood of Man, through her first husband, who was also a singer, and grew up near my OH.

Pete washed up his breakfast bowl
He thought he'd go for a gentle stroll
Perhaps he'd see his neighbour, Lil
