I've just returned from taking Byron back to the Zoo (because he's missing his Mum, Mrs V) and Wilson has gone with him so he can reconnect with his family and re-visit some of his old friends there.
Because some of the other animals persistently start up Internet Scams (yes, Warthogs – I do mean you!) there is no Free Wi-Fi at the zoo, so Wilson won't be able to contact me in the 21st Century manner to which he's accustomed (unless he can borrow an iPhone off one of the Keepers) but he's promised to keep in touch via Post Cards, and in case of emergency there's always Mrs V's land line – although Mrs V doesn't like him using that.
I've only been back about an hour, but already the house seems very quiet.
Very empty.
I really don't like this – I'm missing the little guy and his brother already…
This being the last night Byron will be here with us, we all stayed up late to watch The Girl In The Spider's Web together.
After my experiences with Wilson in the past watching Lisbeth Salander movies I did have some reservations, but both boys begged me, so I agreed.
It was a tiny bit racy, and I did notice Byron blushing a little a couple of times, but apart from a bit of below-par GreenScreen work at the beginning, it was excellent – impossible situations were escaped from in the nick of time, plenty of action, plenty of peril – everything a film needs to appeal to young anteaters!
Salander in this film was played by gamin beauty Claire Foy, and I sensed that W was – once again – a little bit smitten.
In fact, while the End Credits were rolling, W remarked, 'Lisbeth looked well dench!'
This is the first time I've seen him show any real enthusiasm about a girl (apart from a brief but entirely understandable infatuation with Cara Delevigne) since his cancelled wedding to Cinthya Nazereth – the 'Loveliest Sloth in the World'…
I just hope I'm not about to be inundated with requests for a Tattoo, a Motorbike or – especially – a Lamborghini Aventador LP…
Hello, we are The Bees and this is our Guest Blog!
We would like to welcome you to the First Day of Meteorological Autumn [Fall] – and to our new Friend, Newbie!
Newbie (her name is actually Jennifer, but because of a misunderstanding Wilson has given her the name 'Newbie' and she doesn't like to make a fuss – but we'll call her Jennifer) who we rescued from under a Death Sentence imposed on her by DEFRA which, for some unaccountable reason thought she was a Turkish Immigrant bee with a deadly disease.
Jennifer has come to live with us now, and is settling in very well. The Respirator will only have to remain in place for a little bit longer, and underneath it she's VERY pretty – just like us!
Our children, Johnson Major and Johnson Minor, love her… but they keep asking why Jennifer looks like us… but not like them.
I suppose we're going to have to have a Very Difficult Conversation with them some time soon.
Wilson is adopted, so we might have a chat with him, just to get his advice.
Anyway, we've been The Bees, and we'll see you again next month.
Until then, BEEEEEEE GOOD!
