Ah,  you sound happy Scrumps.   
I am glad you are had a nice few days, and good company.   

There is a car outside, giving me the hump
He's blocking me in,  I might give him a thump

Ah,  I see.    I asked because sometimes in the evening I do what JBR just said, and sit on the sofa with my laptop on a breakfast tray thingy,  but the tray is only just big enough for the laptop, there is no spare space, so don't think that would work then.   Thanks anyway.

I hope he's houstrained.

Regarding the mouse though,  I meant where could you put the mouse if you weren't using it on a desk though,  e.g. if you had the laptop on your lap?

Just been for a walk.. Not raining at he moment.. Not cold..
 I just had some chocolate as well..

 Brunch..
That's what we did on Saturday.. 
My granddaughter Amy came down to stay with me for a few days.. 
We did the charity shops.. some mooching around town.. a walk through the park.. 
We met others for BRUNCH..  
What a silly word... Why can't we just meet for coffee and select from the late breakfast menu or early lunch menu.. !!!
 Amy was a breath of fresh air.. The house came alive..
... she made me watch Love Island...
She said it was so much warmer down here then in Lincoln where she lives..

So it seems.  I am, after all, losing my marbles!  Damned if I know where it should have been, now.

Sunday tomorrow , and Maud liked her roast
After a poached egg for brekkie, on one toast
But where was the joint?
Ah- that's a good point
She'd smoked it last night down the coast

He is brilliant.. So light on his feet..
