Final preparations

Wilson's OBE has, once again, not been ratified in the Queen's Birthday Honours List. He magnanimously suggested that she 'probably had other things on her mind, what with Mr Prince Philip being in hospital and everything.'

Wilson too has other things on his mind as he makes last-minute preparations for our Jersey Holiday. He says that he's only taking the 'bare essentials' for himself, but there is only room for me to take a very small bag of my things — barely more than a change of underclothes.

Diesel the Goldfish is spending the holiday with the people next door, while sTony and sToneye have been given strict instructions not to frighten Antony or Tiny Toy, who are also remaining at home.
