Pompeii

I fell asleep on the bed while reading my book,
next thing I was lying at the foot of Mt Vesuvius...
I think I swam a few too many lengths and wore myself out earlier.
Or maybe when Mrs N mentioned 'Christmas cards' I passed out.
She picked out the picture below, and we'll send them out with that on it.
So if you are on our Christmas card list, look away now.
(aargh I mentioned Christmas twice already)
:faints, hears a distant rumble and is covered in hot ashes:

How did I miss this one, Andy.. really great.. at least you weren't one of the Pompeii residents encased in hardened lava.. (that always horrified me)

Yeah - I often find that feigning injury works too for things like going shopping!
Guest 22-Nov-2004 12:40

Guest 22-Nov-2004 12:10
