The profile says **StaggerLee** was on yesterday around 5:30. So not dead yet. Possibly even thinking of going for a walk.

Sure but does it say from where? The Southern Indian Ocean perhaps? We could solve a mystery.

“The profile says”? Not sure I’m keen on this close surveillance. And stop nosing round my large North Australian hangar while you’re at it.

I’ll send a drone 'round with an apology note. 😉

I’d be interested to see the US statute that outlaws duffing up people in the UK.

After we get our tea back…

On a more serious note, stalking offences in the UK have been prosecuted as Grievous Bodily Harm, rather a misnomer, but there wasn’t really any other charge that would cover it.

That may have changed…

It turned out that I was suffering from multiple personalities, and that the ‘friend’, the stalker and the local constabulary sent to investigate were all secluded aspects of my personality.

Or rather, I haven’t seen her for a while, but will report back if anything dramatic ever happened.
