By the time we got home at 9 O'clock I was knackered.
Today was not much better, so this i a short one.
I liked your rebus. We have a similar idiom but the last word is not nearly so polite.

Hi Jack
A flying visit from me too! I've been doing an impression of a blue arsed fly today. Did a few chores then took Nigel, my Aygo, in for a service. I was fortunate to get a courtesy car so toddled off to Sainsburys to get some shopping. By the time I got home and had my lunch they rang to say would I like to go and collect Nigel. I then shot off to Zoe's to drop a few bits off, got back and had a quick walk and am going to have a short relax before thinking about some grub!
Would your last word of the idiom be sh1t as one of my friends is fond of saying
What a smashing video of Bonnie, Ruby and Pascal
It was his name I couldn't remember the other day! Ruby is still a bouncy bundle of energy
I wonder why the Cleveland Mob are attracting so many wretched Cane Toads
Edwina, a contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" had reached the final question. If she answers it correctly she will win £1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the £32,000 milestone money. As she suspected it would be, the million-pound question was no pushover. It was: Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it
A) the condor;
B) the buzzard;
C) the cuckoo; or
D) the vulture?"
Edwina was on the spot. She did not know the answer. And she was doubly on the spot because she had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend, and the woman had hoped against hope that she would not have to use it because the only friend that she knew would be at home happened to be Geraldine, who isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer! But the contestant had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.
Geraldine responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is C: The cuckoo."
Edwina had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving Jeremy any answer except the one that her friend had given her. And considering that her friend isn't very bright, it would seem to be the logical thing to do. On the other hand -- Geraldine had responded with such confidence, that Edwina could not help but be persuaded. "I need an answer," said Jeremy. Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The cuckoo."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Jeremy. "Yes, that is my final answer."
Two seconds later, Jeremy said, "I regret to inform you that the answer is-...... absolutely correct. You are now a millionaire!"
Three days later, Edwina hosted a party for all her family and friends including Geraldine who had helped her win the money. "Geraldine, I just do not know how to thank you," said Edwina. "Because of your knowing the answer to that final question, I am now a millionaire and do you want to know something? It was your certainty when you answered the question that convinced me to go with your choice. By the way......how did you happen to know the right answer?"
"Oh, come on!" said Geraldine, "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests. They live in clocks."
Leave you with a very naff joke
I think a small snooze is called for
