Those random trivia are really interesting... thanks for sharing... now I'll go and ask the hoomans what I learn.
Licks, hero
We've been having a lot of days like that lately?
Thanks for that - I've learnt all sorts of things I never knew I needed to know, and some of your triva made me smile like the number of muscles in a cats ear. I will never look at felines in the same way ever again!
We have not been around for some time but when we drop by today...your new layout (at least it is to us) put a smile on Aunty Diana's face. What a sweet page! Those strawberries look yummy and we love the colour pink. Hope to catch up soon.
It's always good to learn something new every day!!! Have a good night!
You just crowded this already minuscule noggin to the extent that I'll probably get lost on the way to work in the morning...
