Naw, I ain't doin' so bad. Bobo been lettin' me sleep thu tha nite by keepin' that danged ant eater outta tha bed.  I swears tha thang don't keep it's nose tew itself I's gonna hafta skin and cook it fer vitals.

Is it a spiny anteater? I would not have that in my bed thank you!. I am sorry to hear that Diana is (s)pining away and off her feed. I am back so she can catch up with her calories now1 lol

Re trouble with the Anteater, put a glove on its snout. That will keep it out of your business.

I agree with you both about "touristy" places no mater where they are~except that in small does they can be fun. I can do a say or two but then I get edgy and need a brake~just chilling out and enjoying the view. A few years ago, I was in England for 3 weeks. One in London and two with different groups of family. My best time on that trip was when my elderly aunt and uncle drove me out to Wells by the Sea. We went in and out of the little shops, walked on the docs and had fish n chips sitting by the water. Nothing special...yet, a prescious and very special memory for me.

As far as the cities~in any country; it's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there! Give me my Mums hometown~going to friday farmers market and a long walk down the fens and I am in heaven!
