Sturdy construction.









A quiet Sunday morning in deepest France Profonde. Just the croaking of the frogs in the pond and a chorus of zoological noises rumbling out of Wilfs latest toy . Four days now and the infernal thing is still working . A testament to the sturdiness of its construction and the asocial credentials of its presumably deaf designer . The villagers look out of their windows to see a man in a fishing hat slowly walking along with a white fluffy dog enthusiastically swinging a rugby sock from its mouth . ' Les Anglais '. Dog and owner settle down on the bench in front of the church to the sound of a gorilla, a parrot and a pig. Wilfs attitude to blindness and lifes other imponderables : " A smooth sea never made a skilful mariner " .

    But Wilf loves it so. You may have to invest in ear plugs.

    Happy Sunday Wilfee ! Don't care about what french people in France profonde would think about the zoological noises from your new toy, enjoy it, and "c'est tout" !
    Lots of bisous for you my sweet, and amitiés to you, Angus, and the Font.

    I hadn't thought about hearing Wilf's new favorite toy over and over again--I suppose it's a bit like an song or a jingle that you can't get out of your head, or fingernails on a chalkboard!

    Thus my comment yesterday. Knowing just how long my husband and I can listen to an enthusiastic squeaking when JH falls in love with a new toy, we were wondering just when even you kind and patient folks would say ENOUGH!!! Or at least beg for a moments respite!

    It's all good!!!

    I can just picture the two of you walking along together now! It must be quite the scene the two of you cut. Does it have a hiding spot at night so you and "the font" can get some sleep?

    Profound quote, Wilf. Prayers for maintaining an even strain in listening to the zoo, Angus :). Man, do I have worms for your fishing in my yard after the flood (it has receded!).

    When I read your post yesterday , I found it to very touching. The care that was taken in selecting the toy and how it was made possible for him to carry without breaking. Such a simple act that showed so much compassion and love. What an amazing family.
    I bet it feels so good to see him happy. It does for us.
