Official announcement!

“It can now be confirmed that Charlie17 has a dose of the cold. He woke this morning feeling lousy - coughing and spluttering.
He managed to take the dogs down to Strichen Lake and on the way back, he spotted this hare.
Being the typical male that he is, he doesn’t want to make a fuss about his condition, and apart from insisting that his wife does everything about the house today, tend to all his needs and whims, and change the channels for him, he intends keeping a very low profile.
Further bulletins will be issued when there is a change.”
