Putting Fat Boy to bed

Had a rather lovely time with Mrs St. R. and her little nipper. Very long lunch (nice to do some creative cookery) with the boat pageant on TV in the background - I personally don't like the monarchy and have no intention of celebrating sixty years of wealth and privilege - but it made for amusing wallpaper telly.

Little St. R kept rushing in like a mad cockney and shouting "'ello everybody" which was very funny. Fat boy enjoyed the attention although sometimes had to slip away and cool his paws, particularly after someone tried to put him to bed against his wishes ...

The Dizzle went to London to see the boats, got wet, hated the crowds, disliked the mess and retreated to Yo Sushi. Will be picking him up from the station shortly.

Did a couple of hours work this morning but still have an iceberg of stuff to do - will have to have another go at it tomorrow. Still it's nice to have four days off work even if I don't if you get my drift.

Bloody unpleasant cold and rain today. Can't believe it's June - actually turned the central heating on at one point. Here's to better weather tomorrow ...
