Here’s my Robin. As you can see, my photography hasn’t improved, but I wanted to show you just how incredibly fat he is. He gets all our bacon scraps (well, he did, before Irish bacon became rarer than hens’ teeth), stale bread, cheese, you name it. We’ve all completely fallen in love with him. He appears first think in the morning when Bert and I take our misty, sparkly morning walk, and yesterday even followed me into the garage.
I might have to cut down his snacks, though. I’m worried he might actually explode. And that wouldn’t be very festive.
Are you sure you aren’t just fattening him up to replace the turkey, in case they recall those too?
I remember lumbering back from Ireland with loads of bacon and sausages in my bags… but that was years ago. Couldn’t do it now, miss these food itemsn A LOT. I also miss McVities Digestives, Hob Nobs, Crunchies, Cadbury’s Buttons, Branston Pickle…. I could go on, but better stop.
Kate: That’s funny – Bert takes no notice at all. Mind you, he’s always on the lead so he doesn’t get the opportunity (not to be trusted as we’ve got sheep next door!!) x
Baino: Mmm spam fritters (drool). Weird that you have wild cockatoos – never seen one that’s not in a pet shop – poor things.
Susan: He’d have to bring a couple of mates – but just in case, I might introdue a bit of apple and onion into his diet
Sandra: Something to do with Dioxins in pig feed. the whole lot got withdrawn from sale – not a single rasher or sausage on sale anywhere. The poor producers must be nearly bankrupt. Some woman on the radio was saying she hadn’t used the dodgy feed but the slaughter house weren’t taking pigs and she was overrun with piggies waiting to be processed. It’s a mess and no mishtake.
Ah and you can’t beat McVities chocolate digestives. I can eat a whole pack with a cup of tea. But then I am a bit of a pig (no pun intended) xx
Towny: Nice! He’s dead beefy though – he was scaring all the little Wagtails away from ‘his’ breadcrumbs this morning!
Nutty: Aw, you can borrow my Robin. He’d probably beat up your pigeons too!
Roy: Luckily the only cat round here is D next door’s. She’s about seventeen and has no teeth, hence our Robin’s overinflated opinion of himself
