There's a new barmaid at the FMB bar - started about three weeks ago - who lives in a flat just up the road.
This evening, while I was chatting to one of the doormen, she came shooting out and ran off up the road to her flat.
She returned a little while later, and I asked her if the oven had been on. She looked confused, and I explained that I'd assumed she'd run home to see if she'd left the oven on. (Not exactly Oscar Wilde, I know
)
"Oh," she said, "I've just got a rabbit - I only got it today, and as it was quiet here I went home to see if it was alright."
"Ah," I said, "So you went home to see if you'd left the rabbit on?"
It was just after the words left my mouth that I remembered that ladies nowadays often have an electrical appliance known as a rabbit...
She laughed, but also gave me a funny look...
I've known women who keep rabbits in flats in the past - an ex-GF's daughter did so as a student. When we went to visit her and her boyfriend, I naturally (given that I treated it as if visiting a friend) assumed that we'd be crashing on the living room floor, which turned out to be covered in droppings
It transpired that, as my GF was her parent, I accumulated pseudo-parent status, so we got to sleep in the bedroom while the daughter and BF slept on the living room floor amidst the rodent dung
All the benefits of parenthood with none of the inconvenience

It looks like it's going swimmingly at the moment, wot with all the rain falling from the heavens...
Not torrential, but cunningly persistent.Comment

There's a guy up the road who's building himself a big boat...
Seems to have a collection of animals he intends to put in it too...
I wonder if he knows something the rest of us don't...Comment

It wasn't "Too", it was "two by two"...
