A short sighted old doctor called Charlie Poured water from a bottle to make tea But the taste wasn't right Got one hell of a fright On close inspection the bottle said pee... He called the opticians to book a test Rinsed his mouth out then headed home to rest Now sets good examples Marks clinical sample's Storing all those nasties in a locked chest... Now you don't want to end up like Charlie By error drinking someone else's pee Well it is human waste You just wont like the taste And you'll be sick as a dog, believe me...

Wait until the doctor gets dementia. Let us hope he is not a pathologist. On this bright note, kind wishes, Kai

Thankfully no damage done but the force of it. I think you're right, it's pouring down now, to be honest we've been lucky this winter, Those whose houses get flooded out is who I feel sorry for.

Haha, you need to go to specsavers, they're doing two for one deal. Lol. Dennis took my door with the wind, about two inches from the car next to me, good job I'd parked wide, I'm in for the day now so he can do what he likes, we had his nasty sister Caeria last week, suppose the whole family are on their way lol.
