Default Snowdrop is doing London Marathon.....

..tomorrow...
....he will be the one on the finish line in 'cabbage gear' wearing a Stewards vest - please give him a wave cos the poor lad has to be up at 0345hrs tomorrow

I said 'please feed BFGT on the way out and don't wake me'
*feels guilty

Yes, very best of luck to all the runners, especially Snowdrop and those Maasai blokes that are running to raise money for a clean water system in their village in Africa.

No, Trousers read it early this morning, was dead sprized at the well-wishes, now wants to know if he has won the tub of Flora?
I'm an Anchor Butter Girl thro' an thro' but, his Flora, is it Lite, LoSalt, Pollywatsitted, or non-existant?

The main thing is: Did he Enjoy It? I bet it was a Corking Larf, weren't it?
Good Man Snowdrop Darling. Lots of Giggle-Factor to talk about with The Missus this evening......
