"Sorry, I got distracted," said Erica, who'd called me from the pub near Coalville and had briefly drifted away from the conversation. "It's just that I wasn't expecting to see a ferret."
"Sorry?" I said, thinking I may well have misheard.
"I was just talking to you and then a ferret popped up behind me."
"How do you know it was a ferret? It could be a weasel or a stoat." Admittedly, asking for genus classification at this point in the conversation probably wouldn't have been most people's usual course of action, but I panicked.
"It's in a cage. It just popped up beside me. And it's playing with a tube of E45 cream."
Obviously I misheard that. I said, "Sorry, I obviously misheard that."
Erica said, "The ferret. It has a tube of E45 in its cage."
"Erica, I know you've just finished your exams, and are probably celebrating, but I'm a bit worried about the surreality of your hallucinations."
"I'm not even drinking. I'm driving later. The pub-based ferret has a tube of E45. Maybe it has eczema. I don't know. I'm not a ferret expert."
She texted me a photo of the ferret, and its E45. If I was cleverer, I'd post it for you here on the Plog. But as I don't know how to do that, picture a ferret in a cage. And then picture a tube of E45. That's pretty much it.
Yet another reason why I don't go near Coalville anymore.

Laura I want to see the picture of this ferret with the tube of E45.
Edit this blog or create a new one and on the tool bar with "font", "b", "i" etc click on the square icon with a scenic picture. It will then let you browse your computer for a photo to add.
Obviously you have to get the photo from your phone to a computer first, but I know you can do that...
Do it!
Please xXx
Lots of peole can put photos on their blogs so how come you can't?
I want to see the ferret with its tube of cream. NOW.
I think you are a big fat liar and so is your friend Erica.
Erica would never lie! Not so sure abour Laura mind... and Caolville really is that weird... I'm so glad I escaped :)
I think I could put the photo on the blog from a computer. Problem is, I can't get the image from my phone to a PC.
I could probably get it from my phone to my home PC, but that's not connected to the Internet.
I will do it. I'm in Southend for the next few days, but I'll try and do it on Wednesday.
As for "big fat liar", I am neither big nor fat. Jury's still out on liar. Anonymous, prepare to eat your words.
They should eat the E45 instead, that would be funnier ;)
Look on my ferret, ye mighty and despair.

Afternoon.....I was just reading about the ferret thing. It's all true!!!
It's at my local public house in Shepshed. (The Black Swan) It is unquestionably a ferret and it belongs to the landlord John. Or racist John as I call him. Not to his face though.
Hope you well L.

Mum - I think Dean's challenged you to a fight...
