Baa

Black sheep of the family? Well, in Spain, as I have recently discovered to yet more amusement, you'd be the garbanzo negro, or black chickpea.

Yo R.
Shed shit being written.
Apologies for apparently giving up blogging. Thanx 4 occasional encouragement.
Be happy.

the black chickpea eh? What if you're not a chick? ho ho ho.

we use the term garbanzo bean here in sophisticated california anyway. I'll just think of it as "black garbanzo."

that seems a bit gross, however. I don't think I'd eat one if I came across it. =|

I like your new altered description including that definite raspcallion Cheeky. Still no mention of Samson, Mouse, or PC though :)

Ooo I must tell Jemima about the chickpeas. She lives in Vejer de la Frontera now. We are going to visit her soon.
Wot no photo of Cheeky?

Lorenzo, I'll look for a photo. My camera has met its demise now so it'll be one from when we was wee and a bit sickly, but still very cute.

I bet it's much warmer and drier in Vejer than here.

Meta, no, only permanent members of the household make it to the list I'm afraid.

T-Rex, I'll be over in a bit to check up on this shed post. It better be good after the wait you put us through.
