THE LESSER-SPOTTED MEANSTREAK:

One thing i've been particularly successful at, during all of my 60 years, has been the raising, nurturing and breeding of the Lesser-Spotted Meanstreak.

Only recently has the big wakeup call trumpeted in my flattened ears..

Those beasties have cost me dear...:{

i'm delighted to say that these days the barn stands totally emptied of the little critters.

Now i merely watch as the young and not so young out there, groom, feed and pet their own Meanstreaks - oblivious to the fact that they are sooo not worth the effort !

*steps up to the podium...

I have to thank my DroneMaster, Bali, and the dear Nanny M for bring about a massive and positive change in my life. And to all the bit players who contributed and aid my Master when I repeatedly set his teeth on edge;

Weird Al, Glen, Zaph, Shrooms, Andre, Pieter, Calliope, Lu the Righteous and Mike, to mention but a few... without your input I would no doubt still think of myself as nothing more than a bitchy old oxygen thief.

You have all shown me clearly that i'm really not so bad after all .

An Amazing revelation for me so Halleluja & Amen brothers & sisters.

Thanks guys x
