In this weather?

Rocky modelling his new raincoat (much needed this winter), and giving me an incredulous look when I suggest we go out for a walk. 

Santa is leaping up and down in delight that he doesn't have to go. 

Ha ha!  Little does he know that as soon as we get back home, he is going to get stuffed in a cardboard box, and put on a high shelf out in the garage for the next 11 months - that'll teach him!

So, here we go again folks.  Happy New Year to ane and a'.
