Facebook is like standing on a hilltop…*
Sorry it’s been so long; I was threatened with terrible fates is I went on the internet when Mum wants me, which is just about all the rare time I spend at home, and the rest of the time Dad was on here.
Lil Sis went back to school today. She informed me that a friend of hers took her guineapig to the vet…. to find out it had menopause… which I didn’t know guineapigs got…. and I’ve had guineapigs since I was eleven…
You know the Beatles song ‘Yellow Submarine’? ‘We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine’? Three year old S. at work (whose parents listen to older music a fair bit, I gather) came in singing “We all live in a tub of margarine...” She actually thought those were the words…. Lil Sis insists on singing those lyrics now. Personally I fee that the joke is getting old after several weeks.
Have tracked several people from high school down on facebook. Interesting.
Am thinking of doing a fictional serial on this blog as well as the usual - what do you think?

I am all for for a fictional serial as well as your usual posts.
Other invalid irritating lyrics include We all live in a can of baked beans, We all live in a the car of Mr Bean, We all live next to Simon Crean, Me and a liver and a yellow submarine ,We all live here, Yousa Marie , We all live in a yellow bumblebee , and We all live in a yellow quarantine .
All my research indicates that guinea pigs don’t get menopause and that you are correct. I do know that if they haven’t a previous litter by 6 or 7 months their hip bones fuse together and from that point they can only give birth
by c-section which is both expensive and risky.
Glad to hear you are having fun and best wishes
