Honey I got you a present!

Recently I have been discussing money a lot, well, the lack of money to be precise.  The recession is causing a lot of people to look for alternative ways to subsidise their income. Tickles has obviously been earwigging.

Last week, I had a major battle for survival on my hands. Armed with nothing more than a plastic jug and a flute music book...yes, that's right, a flute music book.  My mistake was asking Demon for help and saying "get me a piece of card..." and adding "...or something".  I got the 'something'.  When I asked why she'd given me that, she replied, "well it's made from card isn't it?!"  Correct, the paperback version is indeed made from card...sigh...

So, armed with a plastic jug and a flute music book, and using my elbows to fend off Tatwo and Tickles, I managed to rescue a very dazed, very angry and very soggy.....honeybee....

At first I thought the bee was soggy because of the rain.  And then it dawned on me.  Tickles had actually brought the bee inside...by carrying it in his mouth.  A dangerous act carried out in an attempt to provide his family with their first step in self-sufficiency through bee-keeping?

Or has he got confused about the buzzing from my electric toothbrush?
