Hiya Fee

Had you heard the news?

The DM concert on 30th is in jeopardy because Dave Gahan is ill.

They've already called off all their concerts til 21st for now.....no further news.

Fingers crossed all is well for our concert else I'll be a very unhappy bunny xx

From Wikipedia

Elephants are the largest land animals.[2] The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kilograms (260 lb).
