The Daily Teaser — 15-11-2012

Hmmm … 

You know, I think I’m going to have to give Bruce a mild going over: or, at least a mild defraging.

Bless him, I’ve had him on, overnight: burning a DVD of photos of my nephew, Jude.

The net result … is Bruce is feeling a touch arthritic, this morning … !

I think I’ll get that done, once I’ve finished A Certain Post … !

Let’s get on to that, shall we … ?
