80 million would be an average of one and a half pies each. I would probably eat about 20 between now and the end of the year, so 800 million could be right.

How many mice pies can I buy with the £100 that Ernie sent me?
Depends where you plan on buying them; Home Bargains or Waitrose - !

Mild, blustery and currently dry here chez Casa Reynard. It rained overnight, and a lot of leaves have been blown off the trees. More rain forecast for later though.
Slept well. Had a lovely morning trying (and that's the word) to photograph a Siamese cat. I should've taken duck tape! Hopefully I'll have something that's useable. This afternoon's task is to go to Tesco. I'll probably pop into Aldi on the way home to stock up on peppermint tea, as the Tesco stuff has recently shot up to £1.70 for 40 tea bags.
Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

Thankyou. You have been placed in a queue but an operative will be with you within the next six weeks.

Well, the "Finest" all-butter ones in Tesco are £3 for a box of 6. Would depend if there's any offers on, but at the full whack, that's 50p per Min Spy.
Which means that you'd be able to buy 200 of the Tesco's "finest" ones.

Looks like I need to get to Iceland and load the van up.
