You'd be grumpy too Maggi if some idiot with a camera  wanted to take a photo of you when you'd just fallen out of your nest ;D

A whole bunch of Mars jokes spring to mind, but I'll be good. ::)  Honest! ;D  The humour here has gotten really Flakey recently. :o  Must be because I haven't been here much of late. ;)
Cheers.
