Mr. Stoneyheart's Surprise

By some unknown means I have acquired a litter of fledglings. Being a man about town I cannot possibly look after them in draughty art galleries and so I have moved into Old Bert’s apartment during his absence.



1am When troubles come they come not single spies but in battalions




2am Absinthe: The panacea for all ill to my aid, perhaps this is nothing but a bad dream.



3am, awake and fractious, demanding milk and solace. Staring, blinking like myopic owlets behind thick tortoise-shell spectacles.





4am and asleep at last!






5am awake and dancing! It’s going to be a long day



Next instalment – I find a nanny.

  1. Looks Like Mr Stoneyheart may have a football team there!! Unusual for him to score an own goal like that, bet he could kick himself and not the ball! How is he going to explain this lot? Oh dear!!

  2. Keep watching Janey, the story will unfold. In the next instalment the capable Nanny Bellows takes charge. BJ
