A death in the family

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you sad news today, for I have just been texted the shocking announcement that there has a been a death in the family.  It would appear that sometime after nine o'clock this morning it was discovered that Vera The Goldfish had died overnight. 

Vera had lived a full life, swimming under the little bridge and around the castle in her aquatic abode, and had been considered to had a "good innings".  However, Vera's life was not without scandal, two of her former "bowlmates" (Jack, and Jack Mark II) had died whilst cohabiting with Vera, and although there was never enough evidence to bring any charges against Vera there were always strong suspicions that she was involved in the deaths.

Vera will be most missed by Phoebe the Cat, who considered Vera to be 24 hour "Cat TV" and would often sit transfixed watching Vera do steady laps of her bowl.

So, ladies and gentlemen, a minutes silence if you please for Vera The Goldfish...

Flush!!!!
