End of Item Drive

Ho! Jus' as I expected, it’s time to batten the hatches! Thank ye t' everyone fer yer donations t' th' drive - ye given me some great booty. I might 'ave t' keep a few o' these fer meself - ye know, as thanks fer all this organisin'. Now t' go get this annoyin' bit out o' th' way so I can show off me new wee bundle of joy. No need to hang the jib! I’ll be back t' work in th' mornin' if all goes smartly! It’s goin' t' be nice t' give me feet a rest these next few hours. I could do wit' a wee nipperkin o' rum though.

Oh! Just as I predicted, I do believe it’s about time for my cub to arrive! Thank you to everyone for your donations to the drive - you’ve given some absolutely delightful items. There were a few things I’d love to have kept, but I don’t need any kind of payment. Charity is its own reward! Now, I’m going to leave for a few hours to conduct some very important business that it would be impolite to go into the detail of…but there’s no need to pout! I’ll likely be back to work in the morning if all goes well! And then I’ll be able to show you my new bundle of joy. There is nothing else that I want more!
