Diet with Delius and his Band (elastic)

Saturday, the weekend, so no builders today. Another surreptitious trip up the scaffolding! Forgot the camera, though, so no pictures to show for it. Still, upstairs is beginning to take shape, we can almost make out what room goes where.


Delius has had a busy day, even undertaking a little bit of exercise. We managed to get some stills; the Diet With Delius DVD could be in the shops by Christmas. He had quite a traumatic experience this morning. He was sick. He'd eaten an elastic band which hadn't agreed with him - now we wonder whether this is part of the Diet With Delius regime, bloating himself with rubber rather than food. If so, it was clear from the pile (not pictured as this is a family site) that this particular band must have passed its ping-by date. The trauma wasn't due to his being sick but the fact that he might have had to have given some food up.... what a waste. Still, by the afternoon he was feeling better and was practising his diet exercises....see below


Diet With Delius (to the tune of the Hokey Cokey)


You put your left paw in

Your left paw out

Lie on your back and

Let it all hang out


Then you close your eyes

And you have a little nap

That's what life's all about


Chorus:

Oh dieting with Birmog

Oh dieting with Del-Boy

Oh dieting with Delmog

Time that we had a nap

ZZ ZZ


repeat last line of chorus for about 6 hours


For those of you that don't speak Birman a Birmog is half-Birman half-Moggy, a Del-Boy is Delius's kitten name and a Delmog is the one and only Delius, the Benny of this parish.
