Ahhh - it's my baby's birthday today. A big whole two years old.

Happy Birthday my darling wee Alice - and thank you for being amazing, bright and really really funny xxxxxxxxxxxxx (and really, really angry sometimes...)

She is busy here with her present from us - a bed for the various creatures that she has taken to organising, talking to and playing with. And the dog, from Rudy, who has joined the ever-growing menagerie. He has a hat and a coat and goes by the name of 'dog'. He joins 'Ruff' and 'Woof-Woof 1' and 'Woof-Woof 2' - the existing collection of imaginatively named canines that currently reside with us.
