Help!

She's crazy I tell you, she thinks I'm a lamp.

We're not allowed to have a dog. Its in the fine print of our rental agreement along with no pianos. I often tell people about how I had to abandon my dream of getting a beagle and training it to play the piano.

Lots of people around here with dogs though. Some more forlorn than others.

Got some great shots of my daughter covering her face with her hands and alternately sticking her tongue out at me. Worked this morning then went for lunch all four of us. They'd flavored the baked cheese cake with green tea so I had to have an apple tart for dessert. Sacrilege.

The new year's decorations are up and we're stocked up on food. Looks like my wife is planning to eat, drink and watch TV over new years. I'm hoping for waves and I might throw myself in the sea early enough to catch the first sun on New Years Day. The water is probably not quite as cold as it looks....
