JUST FOUND...

... a newt happily swimming around in the girls' outdoor drinking bowl. Fortunately for the newt, I got to it before the girls did! Charles has now taken it for a little walk down the garden, well out of harm's way. Newts always remind me of this ridiculous joke about the man who went into a bar with a newt on his shoulder, was asked it's name and replied 'Tiny" and was then asked why it was called Tiny to which he replied, "Because it's minute." I tried to tell this rather sad little joke once, only I started, "A man went into a bar with a lizard on his shoulder...' - as you can imagine the punchline didn't really work!!
