Cobblers

You know, I have some extremely clever mates. One of them who read yesterdays Blog, informs me that 'Last Legs' is connected to shoe makers. The 'Last' was a tool that was used to hold the shoe whist it was soled. The Last stood on 3 legs. So when the thing was knackered, the 'Last' was considered to be on it's last legs and this was adapted to people who were very poorly. See, it's an education here.
Now I know I am slowing down in my old age, but this takes the McVitie. I got home from Band last night and sat down to have a glass of wheat free lemonade!! when I noticed a silver line going up my trouser leg. I followed it up and about 3 inches from my Chipolata and 2 Veg was a slug??? I don't know how long he had been there, or indeed what his intentions were? However after the Hamster and ear Lobe incident, I was taking no chances.
A very strange day indeed.
