Marmaduke shares our small house
he, in turn, shares his bed with a louse
My wife’s not amused
and claims she’s abused
‘cause Marmaduke is my pet mouse

Awww, I’m sure I saw Marmaduke in our garden, pinching the birdseed, the other day. Today, our lovely grandchildren made a pet of a woodlouse they found..& called it Bob! They claimed a big spider ate it, but I’m not sure if it just escaped in the house..now I’m a bit worried about what is in our bed!! Eeeeek!

Woodlice do like to live with us. Related to prawns I believe!

I sort of wish they didn’t, & would definitely prefer to eat a prawn…preferably covered in a Marie Rose sauce, on a bed of lettuce! Reminds me of eating at a Berni Inn, back in the 1970’s/early 80’s! 😂

Haha! I can’t believe it..today I won a large bottle of Babycham in a raffle (it was the only prize left!) it was meant to be, obviously. Now to get some glacé cherries methinks! 😂
