PERHAPS IT WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA!

Hello Lovely Blippers,

We all got up early this morning, unlike Mrs. HCB who didn’t come down until after 8 o’clock, and thought that we would help her with sorting out all the wool she was given by Mrs. T on Thursday.  We also found some patriotic bunting so thought we would try and put up some decorations for St. George’s Day tomorrow.  

We thought it would make a good Blip for her today on Silly Saturday and we know that although Admirer may not know who St. George is or was, she would still be giggling if she saw us all.

However, it did not turn out well, because lots of us got caught up in the wool and the bunting, so when Mrs. HCB came down, she said in a very stern voice “We are NOT amused” - anybody would think she was the Queen!

You can see there is a lot of sorting out to do and Mr. & Mrs. HCB are talking about going out somewhere, so I guess we will be left to sort out the mess.  Isn’t that always the way, you start off trying to help and then it goes wrong, but I’m sure we can sort it all out before they get back - otherwise it won’t only be Mrs. HCB who is not amused!

By the way, we are going to ask a BIG favour of all you lovely Blippers who are reading this.  We couldn’t decide on a name for our new teddy bear, you know, the one who came with the flowers, chocolates and champagne and who is sitting at the front, next to Hoggy, looking rather bemused so would you please join in the poll and say whether you think he should be called :

PROSECCO
TRUFFLE or
BUBBLES

Whatever name is chosen will be his name from now onwards.  In the event of a tie, Mr. HCB will have the casting vote.  Thank you in advance or TIA as they say - you are a lovely bunch of Blippers!  Have a great weekend.

Love to you all from
The Silly Saturday Gang and our new, soon-to-be-named friend. xxx

P.S. In case you want to know, St George's Day is the feast day of England's patron saint and is celebrated on April 23, to commemorate the anniversary of his death in 303 AD.  You can read more about him here.
