Morning folks.

I do hope all is well and you have only been unbuttoning your pants for the right reasons. I know I've eaten as much as I possibly could in the last few days as I was hoping to resemble a Christmas pudding, so I might keep it all up for a wee bit longer.

Lulu's cold is on the mend. She is sneezing less and I've stopped wiping the tears from her little furry eyes and she now lets me leave the boudoir without her crying and wailing like an injured seal pup. Yesterday she nearly knocked herself out in her mad rush for the food bowl which was quite odd. You know when cartoons are stunned and they stand waving from side to side like they are seasick and about to topple over? (stars and birds in halo) - well, she did that for rather a long time, which was hilarious before bordering on terrifying.... bless her.

I'm doing a bit of family now - got my sister staying with my niece and nephew and although she's out on her travels my fabulous niece Laurie has pulled a sicky and we are chilling out together, so au revoir for now.

A.F. whoever you are, thanks for the post below! I messed about with that photo because I thought it wasnt one of my greatest, but awww shucks - you're welcome to have a play with it! At least you appear to be a Gooner so I won't end up in a Chelsea top or something equally revolting....

Cheeeeeeerio!
