Friday, 7th November
We were up early today. I'd been thinking during the night, and decided to make amends to Dad by helping him with the leaves in the back garden. I needed him to be in a good mood so that we could go to Uncle Dave's fireworks later. I couldn't manage the rake, so I reckoned on lying on as many leaves as I could to stop them blowing away. It wasn't easy, I can tell you, as it was pretty cold & windy.....

The observant amongst you may
also have noticed my missing tube...!
Alison & Brigid had tried to keep it quiet, but there was no fooling the
paparazzi, and I was soon facing a battery of lenses. Check "My
Gallery" (2) for some of the latest shots ! ![]()
Mum & Dad had vanished for a
while when I was cuddling Alison, and they both came back rubbing their arms
after having had a 'flu jab each. I remembered what Dr Norman's needle had felt
like, so I gave them both a quick cuddle in my nursery before we went to Dave's
dad's house for the bonfire & fireworks.

We had a great evening at the House
on the Hill, with Dave, Stuart, david jnr., Martin, Ros, Pete & Patricia.
A big thank-you goes, of course, to Len & Pat for making me, mum & dad
so welcome....as always.
There should be some photos soon as long as nobody has stolen Uncle Dave's
camera....
