Hello folks, sorry for popping in again, but i just had to tell you what a brilliant Christmas Day I had.
I woke up Christmas morning, not quite sure of where I was....but I did know that I was on a comfortable bed and I was warm......and there was a nice warm chap lying close to me. I snuggled up and gave his face a cursory lick, he opened his eyes and tickled my ears.
We got up and went downstairs.......yes those stairs were like mount Everest.......and I am not fond of them.....maybe...

We were up bright and early this morning.....well, perhaps early and not so bright.
Gizmo wanted to get up for a wee in the small hours....and our stairs are very steep and he is scared of them....wouldn't go down them in the dark.
Once we got back to bed I couldn't get over to sleep again. You know how it is....you mull things over in your head and your brain ends up whirring away. Not at all conducive to sleep.
When I was working, I used to spend such times planning my day....

Hello folks...pleased to meet you......my name is Gizmo. My life has been a bit topsy turvy of late, and it has made me very sad.
I loved my owner and he has disappeared. I hope it isn't something that I did.
My house has been that....just a house. Not the home that it was before my master left.
I used to like to snuggle up to him, and he used to chat to me and make a big fuss....then he went away and never came back.
The last two weeks have seemed like an eternity, and although...

It has been an eventful day today.
I went up to see ma and take some presents.
The hill was very icy and it was a case of one step forward and two steps back.......I kept sliding down on the ice. I had to be very careful as there were a couple of bottles in my cargo. One was wine the other was perfume.
I made it eventually and begged a carton of salt from Ma so that my descent was not done on my BTM.
when we came home I went over to see daughter....she is not well at all...

At last we are in the home straight......and I think that I am done......presents are wrapped and some of them have even been delivered......the shopping is done and all the goodies are in the back fridge and freezer.
I feel like a marathon runner who can hear the cheering voices of the crowd, and see the finish line in view.....but I am not going to celebrate until the day is here and everything is on the table.

It even looks like the Christmas dinner may be postponed until...
