  1. I'd have made Attenborough jealous today.

    As I was cycling along one of the quieter lanes this monring, I turned a
    corner and there they were... in the middle of the road... a pair of weasels
    doing what weasels do to make baby weasels. In broad daylight, in the middle
    of the road. Do they have no shame!!! The sight of a large lady in bright
    yellow Lycra disturbed them and for a few yeards they ran alongside me,
    baring their wee teeth at my pedals. Then they darted off into the
    undergrowth of a verge to, presumably, resume what they were doing before I
    so rudely interrupted them.

    Attenborough would kill for the footage I tell you. He's always got film of
    animals at it in his documentaries ;-)

    Cheers, helen s

    Did you tell them you'd had an accident that wasn't your fault?

    Ever noticed how most junior road racers look like weasels? Or is it
    ferrets?

    True, and I guess given that the daddy is a bit of a weasel, he may well
    be two timing mummy weasel ;-)

    Not weasels, but also small and furry and desirous of starting a
