Kittens and things

What my head must clearly be full of: a chap just knocked on the door to talk about his guttering business, and whether "my husband" would be interested. Extraordinary. That hasn't happened to me in more than ten years, since the person I was trying to buy a mobile phone from talked past me and to Mr A instead. Not a sale, I think.

ETA: Thank you katlinel for the icon!

Aren't you an attractive bunch?
