Nigel Grounded ...... Probably Forever!

Andy has grounded Nigel, probably forever!  We had chicken for Sunday lunch yesterday and Nigel, who had Marcel round to play, had shown an unnatural and therefore suspious amount of  interest in the plastic tray the aforementioned chicken had come in. We were sure we'd put it in the recycling box along with another and wondered where they had gone later in the afternoon ......

We soon found out when we heard Andy yelling .........

....... after he found that Nigel and Marcel had turned his fish pond into an impromtu boating lake ....

They were having so much fun .......

.....  in fact we thought it was quite funny ...... and it was hard to keep our faces straight as Andy bellowed at them .... to "Get out and get out now!"

However we don't think Nigel heard him straight away as he then decided to mount one of Andy's ducks............ in an attempt to emulate a swan boat ride he'd seen on one of our trips out. 

By now both Darrell and I had turned a bluey/purple colour from trying not to laugh out aloud .......

..... while Andy was bluey/purple with rage!

Marcel was sent home tout suite and Nigel was sent to his room to robustly consider the health and safety implications of his foolhardy behaviour ...... what is he like??
