I am very well thank you Frog. 
I am sitting by The Manor’s pond encouraging the cat to stalk and devour some of your cousins!

You do know big fella that we are descended from Vikings?  So things may not end well for your cats. Talking of cats you are making me feel hungry 😋

Good to have you back DF. Not much banana-related developments of late (unless you count the interest in the off-field workings of the Dees, over which the football "journalism" community appear to have gone bananas ... :-) )

I love eating/drinking a banana 🍌 or two 😋 😍 and currently glad I don't hear a lot of what is going on in Demonland as Apparently I must know what is happening at Fremantle and the Eagles.  Will my suffering ever STOP?

Commitment to the family company is admirable but that is a weird t-shirt his dad is wearing.

I've just completed a cultural tour of Thailand and will be returning to The Manor tomorrow. 

I expect I will receive a warm welcome from the good citizens of Romsey.

Very perceptive Tim!

My in depth cultural studies have provided me with a number of ideas ( albeit some rather abstract ) that I will expect my domestic aides  to implement with vigour and enthusiasm.

Your domestics are indeed lucky to have a seigneur with such care for their job security and intellectual advancement.

I am sure Bitter’s domestics are absolutely thrilled to work under him.

Good day for a roll

My old mum drank "fruity Lexia" obtained from a cask, but the cardboard was not very strong, and the spigot drooped,  as it got older.

Such is Life.
