and there's hundreds of things. But it was blowing a
howling gale. And I was thinking about you and your
ash britten ones, and we talked about that. Like the kids,

It was well tied down, thank god. And then somebody,
I think it was Master eight, decided that they could

So in they came and dragged out the biggest, big
black rubbish bags they could signed what yeah, I demanded
themselves and tried to fly off.
