BAD NEWS

Prudence (pictured here with Jessica trying to put a Victorian bonnet on her head) is unwell. Some weeks ago we told you that she had become lame and that the vet was hoping that her cruciate ligament would repair itself.

Well, it hasn't.

She is now very lame and will have to have an operation soon after the Weird Weekend.


Remember her in your thoughts and prayers.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

On this day in 1938 the American blues musician Robert Johnson died at age 27. There were claims, even by Johnson himself although he might not have meant it literally, that he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads to become a great musician, and he is considered by some to be the 'founding member' of the 27 club (a reference to the seemingly large number of musicians that died at the age of 27).
