Sometimes if they're alive, I have to move them to a place of safety or persuade them out of the house. It's not happened for 25 years (with a previous cat), but last week I recognised the smell of a dead bird in my study from the last time; eventually I found the poor bird yesterday on top of my bureau after searching the rest of the room thoroughly.

Other than that, I had long enough as a bachelor to know how to keep up a good menu plan. As a widower, it's not so different from what my wife fed me.

The road was deceptively broad (alright I see the speed limit terminator just up the road). I'm on holiday and don't know this area - I've never been caught at home. The wife wanted to go to the toilet - as soon as we'd left town where all the public conveniences are. Grovel, grovel, grovel...

When you are young and healthy, you don't believe the 'in sickness and in health' bit nor the 'till death do us part' bit. I insisted on changing the latter to 'as long as we both shall live' but it's really the same.

However you can see that if someone does not wish to be arrested and charged, he may admit an offence whether or not he actually did it. I was referring to the police spiel when they tell you of your right to silence, also called a caution. The simple advice is followed by a convoluted piece of legalese. A lawyer may correct me, but I think it means be silent if you like, but if something comes up in court that you haven't mentioned we could tell the court that you'd kept quiet about it and that could affect your defence. A possibly dramatised version of it regularly occurs in police programmes that your wife has likely seen. less
