Feeding problems



Morning Fossil, said Phil

Morning Phil, said Fossil

What's occurring Fossil? Said Phil

Well I am fed up Phil, said Fossil



Fed up Fossil? Why are you fed up?

The sun is shining and those goats are nowhere to be seen!



We have this lovely branch here to eat

We have this lovely branch to eat all by ourselves






We have already eaten most of the hay!






And we have eaten most of the grass!






I really can't see what you are moaning about Fossil, said Phil

What is there to be fed up about?


That's just it Phil, said Fossil.

I have fed on all those delicious things and I am totally fed up!


Indeed, said Phil

Two heads are better than one





Well Fossil, said Phil

What Phil? Said Fossil

Let's put our heads together and work out a plan,

Let's work out a fantastic plan, Fossil, said Phil,

A fantastic plan to make sure we can eat all of this straw before the goats do!






Yes Phil, said Fossil,We will put our heads together

Put our heads together like this Phil? Said Fossil

Yes, that's right Fossil, said Phil.

Put our heads together like this.



Two heads are better than one, I've heard, said Fossil

Yes, that's right Fossil, said Phil.

Two heads are much better than one.






Well hello, said the goats.

Two heads are much better than one.

As long as it's OUR heads and not yours!



Indeed said Fossil

Hay-ho



Well, here we are again Fossil, said Phil.

Here we are enjoying our hay in the sunshine.






What could be nicer than this Fossil?

Living the high life Phil, living the high life.



It really can't get any better can it Fossil? Said Phil

No Phil, it really can't get any better than this.




But it can get a lot worse said the goats





Ha ha

Absence makes the heart grow fonder



Ahhhh, said Fossil

Ahhhh, said Phil

We are back! Said Fossil and Phil.

Back at last.  Back to the good old days

Of carrots and pink champagne!






Yes, indeed, said Fossil

I can't wait to get back into the swing of things

I even want to see the goats.

Now, that is a surprise, said Phil

Yes, said Fossil, I am fond of the goats Phil,

And you know what they say Phil?

No Fossil, what do they say?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder!



What is fonder, Fossil, said Phil?

I am not quite sure actually, said Fossil,

But it has something to do with food, I am sure.

I think it is a simmering pan of hot melted cheese that you dip bread into.

I think that is a fondue, Fossil, said Phil.








Fondue, fonder same difference Phil, said Fossil.

Fossil? Said Phil.

Are you saying you want to dip the goats into a simmering pan of hot melted cheese?


Indeed, said Fossil.

Holiday blues




Morning Fossil, said Phil.

Morning Phil, said Fossil.

Where have you been Phil? Said Fossil.

I have been on holiday Fossil, said Phil.

Listen up Fossil,

Let me tell you all about it.







I don't want to hear about your old holiday Phil, Said Fossil.

All I know is, I was left here on my own with those goats!

Those goats have driven me mad, Phil, mad I say.

You've been sunning yourself on a beach somewhere

And I have had to manage single handed!









It's been bedlam Phil, bedlam, said Fossil.



I am so sorry to hear all about this Fossil, said Phil.

So sorry indeed.

Of course I won't talk about my holiday.

That would be most unfair.

Most unfair to tell you what a lovely time I have had.

I promise I won't talk about my holiday at all.



But I will just show you my best sunbathing position!






Indeed said Fossil.

Aga saga



Bonjour Fossil, said Phil.

Bonjour Phil, said Fossil.

I have just had an aga installed in our shed Phil, said Fossil.

Oooh! An aga, said Phil. That's brilliant.

I can't wait to see it Fossil.

I can't wait to try it out.

Will it do for our parties?

Will it enrich our lives?

Can I plug my i-pod into it?

Does it make a noise?

I am so excited Fossil, I just can't bear it!



Fossil, said Phil, what is an aga?



It's a type of oven, said Fossil.

I've gone with a traditional cream colour.

Oooh, a traditional cream colour, said Phil.

Yes that's right Phil, said Fossil,

A traditional cream colour.


If you look back to our shed

You should just see it.






An aga, said Phil.

Well I never thought we'd have one of those.

It's a big oven isn't it Fossil.

Yes, said Fossil it is a big oven.

What are we going to cook Fossil, said Phil.

What are we going to cook in our big new oven?

What are we going to cook in our lovely, new, big cream oven?




Roast goat! Said Fossil.

Le weekend



Bonjour Fossil, said Phil.

Bonjour Phil, said Fossil.

Time to go to our French conversation class, said Phil.

Time to go to our French conversation class? Said Fossil.

But I haven't done my homework Phil.

Haven't done your homework Fossil?

Never mind, just get ready.

Just get your beret on and let's go.






Indeed, said Fossil.





I am ready to go!
