It was just after tea tonight, when I thought I heard a loud tooting outside.   
It kept on, so I went and had a look what was going on,  thinking it was perhaps an accident.

As I entered the front room,  I could see lots of flashing lights lighting up my living room, and thought it was either police or ambulance.

When I got to the window and looked out properly,  it was a huge tractor,  covered with Christmas lights going by.   Then another one followed,  and another.
Then  one  went by that was pulling a trailer with Father Christmas sitting in it, waving to people in the street!

All in all, I counted about 55 tractors, 3 Land Rovers, and a lorry,   all decorated with Christmas lights!!   It must have taken them ages to do all that.

I had no idea what was happening,  but just googled it and found it was a procession which was going round all the local towns and villages for Charity.

Marge agrees that the culprit could have been the 'expensive' Katkin, with which she will not be presented again.
She has, however, been scoffing a lot of the cheaper stuff today, a lot more than she has for days now.
We go to see the vet tomorrow at 11.00, and hopefully he will confirm our hopes and suspicions.
I think that we'll still be advised to keep shoving some of the 'magic anti-diabetes medicine' into her mouth every morning.

Good news indeed, JB.   Let's hope her progress continues.   

They have just said on the 10 o/clock news that the two gunmen were  Father and Son.

16 people have died, including a 10 yr old girl has died.  
40 people are in hospital.
