Sosig heard me come back in from taking little Tormund for a pee, and hit his Toilet Time button so out we all went again. In a week we've gone from a timorous beastie to full cavorting bitey facer who can barely wait for Sosig to water the trees.

Snidely demanding "Well, what would you do?" when we've criticised the SNP for timorous action on Indy is facile and tiresome. It's not our job. Planning and strategy is the job of the politicians we elected specifically on that policy and whose large salaries our taxes pay.

Afar in the desert I love to ride,
With the silent Bush-boy alone by my side;
O'er the brown Karoo, where the bleating cry
Of the springbok's fawn sounds plaintively;
And the timorous quagga's shrill whistling neigh
