Day 50

It wasn't easy being an Ancient Egyptian Spotty fox. Not only did you have to wear scented candles on your head and keep strange ducks as pets, but it also cost a fortune in chiropractic  sessions to keep up the posture. 

Day 49

The ancient art of hurling oneself over angry bulls developed in the age of agriculture. As depicted in the frescos(1) it looks highly dangerous but in reality only very docile Bulls were chosen (2) who were made to sign non aggression contracts beforehand. It was a very popular Sunday afternoon activity. 

Day 48

Gloria was beginning to regret having subscribed to the 9007BC deluxe slate pictorial edition of "Farmers' Weekly".

Day 47

Life was hard for the Early Farmers. Five Cheese and Onion Flavour Flowers would keep a family of ten foxes in crisps for a year but they were somewhat vain and dimwitted plants. If planted at anything other than 13.75cms apart they would screech insults at each other all night. It was quite wearing. 

Day 46

It was the Cheese Salad on Seeded Brown Sandwich tree who invented agriculture 10,000 years ago, when he insisted on being moved 1.5 metres to the left because the nutrients were more tasty there. 

Day 45

The Spotties soon got fed up with yodelling and developed a form of Mountain Semaphore. Here are some of the more common signals. Note, tail position is crucial. 

1 Hi ! It's me ! Over here !

2 No I haven't got any sandwiches

3 Come up and see me sometime !

4 Taxi !

5 I don't like your sandwiches!

6 I need to go away, urgently !

7 I've got two tickets to the ballet, you want to come with me ?

8 Yes, that really is a giant spider above your head. 

Day 44

About 11,000 years ago, the late Stone Age, the Hollerscene era began. Apart from the advent of extremely localised weather systems and dense impenetrable forests, the Spotty Foxes learned to Yodel.
