It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
As you probably all know by now, Squishy is here and he is Jake and he is adorable. To form your own opinion (although there can only be one - let me hear not a word against his beauty), check him out here - http://petermack.blogspot.com/
This update is coming from Cockbury Court, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, UK. Madde has finally made it for a visit so we have come up to her Aunt and Uncles place for a few days. Today, Madde's Aunt, Uncle, her parents, Madde and I went to Warwick to watch her Uncle's horse. It was quite interesting - I should never bet on racing. We got to go into the middle of the parade area where the jockeys mount the horses before the race and meet the jockey - quite cool. The horse didn't do very well but apparently there may be big things in his future - keep an eye on First Centurion. I went to place a bet on him, said the wrong number but ended up betting on the horse that came second! I still ended the day down £6.75. As I said - no more horse betting for me.
On Saturday, Derryth, her mother-in-law and I went into Central London to see the Christmas lights. The ones on Oxford Street were lovely. I hope to have some pictures to post soon. Everyone was out shopping and it was very Christmasy - just needed a little snow.
I think Dad is definitely going to take the family curling crown from me. His team won the losers division of the Bonspiel this past weekend. He made out like a bandit - no lowly cooler for his prize. I am truly jealous.
Sharon and Trevor, I know I am tempting fate with this statement, but I have not fallen off of or tripped over anything in ages. Though, I do still have a scar on my arm from where I burned it on the iron this summer.
Finally, I am mentioning this last fact just to make Angela's head explode. Madde's parents are going to spend 9 weeks in Paarl in the Western Cape of South Africa from January - nice for some eh?
