Paul This is a picture of Paul, the Christmas Octopus. He arrived in the post today. I think the offspring are trying to cheer Mum up after my fracas the other day. It's very nearly working. She seems a bit…
Fairy Feet This is a picture of me investigating some more 'shrooms. If you look carefully you can see them trailing off into the wild woods, like a fairy footpath. (Maybe Mum's been on the 'shrooms herself eh?) …
Back This is a picture of me turning my back on everything. Mum is still in painting and decorating mode. She's now onto doors, frames and skirting boards. This seems to involve smelly paint, so I am making my feelings…
Defeat the Dino This is a picture of me with my dinosaur. Mum is off doing conference things so I've been left in charge of offspring #4. I am teaching her how to deal with a dinosaur, just in case…

Plumbing This is a picture of me looking stressed. The plumbers have arrived. They all have dogs themselves and are quite nice actually and I've had some treats too. I've also escaped into the outside world while they were bringing…
Machu Picchu Offspring #3 is here at the moment. Apparently there are llamas there too. I don't know what those are but I'm wondering if there is a possibility of me being interested in them. What do you reckon? I think…
Green Spaces This is a picture of me in Hodges Woods. Mum has been telling me all about the supposedly healing powers of being outside in green spaces. She heard it on Radio 4 so it must be correct. Being…
Unicum Zwack This is a bottle of stuff that offspring #4 and boyfriend brought back from a trip to Budapest. It's empty. No-one can remember how it got to be empty and considering it's around 80% proof, I'm not surprised.…
Happy New Year! The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates Moving Well Socrates, it seems as if we will be 'building the new' in…
