'The End is Nigh'

Or not as the case may be. Met three lovely kids on the common and the girls did their usual excellent PR job. Cuddles all round. But later as we were wandering home we met the kids again - or rather they came haring after us. The local 'The End is Nigh' man had scared the living daylights out of them by pursuing them across the common shouting that 'the world would cease tomorrow'. As they sheltered between the girls I found myself wondering what I would do if he suddenly turned up? Fortunately he didn't and after they spent a few minutes calming down all was well. I guess its never boring on the common...
