Post

I sometimes hear Ian say that the only post he receives is bills. So answer me this...why does the postman always deliver Bill's post to Ian, and who is Bill anyway?!!

Carrots

As he ate his supper tonight, Ian mentioned to us how carrots (part of his supper!) make humans see better in the dark. That's the first time I've heard night vision goggles referred to as carrots!

CD Tower

Ian was in the kitchen this morning. Meanwhile, in the lounge, Gemma decided to find out how stable is a tower containing 36 Compact Discs. Crash! Not very, or at least not very when you try to select your favourite music with a paw! Ian came rushing through when he heard Gemma barking indignantly at this "thing" that had attacked her and sent CD cases in all directions. The way Gemma barks when annoyed, I'm glad I'm not a CD Tower!

Fridge / Freezer

The big, white cupboardy thing, where Ian and Julie keep our cheese, packed up today. So they had to replace it. The good news for Gemma and me is that the new big, white cupboardy thing is even bigger than the old big, white cupboardy thing! By my reckoning, that means bigger cheese, and more of it!

Jack

Our friend Jack the Westie has come to stay with us for a couple of days - his pets have decided to see if they can look after themselves for a short time! Meanwhile, our house has more dogs in it than humans - how exciting! Gemma is pleased because, instead of being second in command out of two Westies, she is second in command out of three. It goes without saying that I am still in overall charge!
