A funny poem for the grandchildren..

I made myself a snowball,
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet,
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pyjamas,
A pillow for it's head,
Then last night it ran away,
But first.. it wet the bed.

I bought a bottle of Bailey's..  10 pounds at the Co-op.. It seems to be this price everywhere..
 Heaven knows what crap you are drinking Alex.. 
  'Cheers'

Lovely picture, what lovely dogs, I bet it took quite a while to get them both sitting still with their hats on. The look on Maggiemay's face "the things I have to do!".

Just had an e-mail from the New York based American Autism Society wishing us happy holidays, to which I replied "And merry Christmas to you".

Happy holidays is creeping in here too unfortunately.  Apparently it's more inclusive  :ugh:

That's not what the police will say when they are going round handing out dates next March.
