Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday ... another Tuesday in Tuesdayville ...

Today would normally be a shiny metropolis day, but there's enough of everything for me to hold out until at least tomorrow. Phew!

I'm writing this accompanied by the curious wails of Mr B. He's finally venturing out of the lounge. Brave enough to sit just outside the kitchen, wary enough to be prepared to vamoosle double quick time the moment one of the canine hairy horde responds to his ever present, ever plaintive pleading. Dominating Biggest Dog is one thing, smaller quicker and chase intent critters are a different problem altogether.

As to the piccies ... Cuthbert the cat holds down one side of the mantlepiece, and Calliwique the other. Never the twain has met and no duster has swept between. There used to be a large vase in the middle, but 'lump of a lad' (the vet's description) Mr B gave eye to it once too often, so I gave it to a friend where its demise is less likely.

And now for breakfast ...
