Has anything nice happened to you recently

[Alex]

I've just got home from Lidl, it's lovely out plenty of traffic about so it must be the sunshine

I must have been spoiled. I had Big Ted and Little Ted. Going by the state of it I think Little Ted must have slept with me but I don't actually remember that.

I do recall that I killed him though. Little Ted used to talk to me. I made some sort of  glider or maybe parachute for him. One major component was the inside of a loo roll. There were some sheets of paper too. The details don't survive. Anyway the magnificent Ted was kitted up in his flying machine and launched down the stairwell. It didn't go well. There was a crash. Although Ted was not noticeably damaged he never talked again. Maybe he had the hump.

We had a big Ted and a little Ted
I loved little Ted and still have his bed that my Grandad made for him .
Grandad's been gone now nearly 70 years .
I never knew what happened to Little Ted but I can remember his face even now.
