Trudi and I are getting very excited.  The Home has been bristling with school choirs, all sorts of activities and parties for the past few weeks.  Not only are we in the run up to Christmas, but we’ve also been celebrating Liz’s 60th Birthday. 

There have been many occasions when we have been essential to the celebrations, particularly in hoovering up the crumbs left from mince pie baking, and Liz’s party on Friday 7th December.  The food provided by our talented staff for the party was excellent and, as we did some quality control tasting, we can confirm this!

Sr Jennifer has been much occupied with buying presents – for all the residents, the staff and our wonderful volunteers.  Not sure who's going to get these glasses...  Trudie, Elia and I are just hoping that we haven’t been forgotten – hint, hint!

Also, knowing how exemplary our behaviour has been the past year (ignoring the odd roll in mud and puddles) we certainly hope that Father Christmas might visit us too.   If he’s checked his list twice – we should be on the NICE list!

Christmas is always fun at the Home, and we will get the opportunity to see many of the friends and relatives of our family here  over the next few weeks. 
 
If we don’t see you in ‘person’ – Trudie, Elia and I wish you all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Happy Easter!
A very Happy Easter to you all!
 
Trudi and I always go for a short walk around the garden, usually before lunch, this is when I will do my quick inspection of the garden.  First, I will examine the weeds and the flowers. Then I will go over to the pond to make sure that the fish are happy and have no complaints and finally, I will check to see if the fox has snuck into our garden again. When my inspection is complete i will go back inside just in time for lunch!
