New skills!

You are never too old to learn new skills!

(Well unless you are the Madwoman who continues

to demonstrate her ineptness at almost everything)

It has taken just over a year, but Archie has finally mastered

getting into the Cosy Cave bed without assistance ...

Pffft

If you looked in this week

expecting the tale of The Frog Prince,

forget it.

It is too hot and he is staying in his pond.

Unfortunately that gave the Madwoman ideas. Again.

Without even stopping to consult us, she plonked Angel in a cool bath,

just because she looked a bit on the warm side.

Now look at her fur!

Can't do a thing with it.

Winter can't come soon enough as far as we are concerned.

Peas in our lifetime

Everybody loves a bedtime story, so this week we thought

we would entertain you with that timeless classic,

"The Princess and the Pea"

Are you sitting comfortably?

Then we will begin ...

Once upon a time there was a Princess.

Someone thought they would check that she was indeed a Princess by

putting a pea in her bed.

But someone stole the pea...

... and then concealed the crime by eating

the evidence.

Which was a  good thing, because whether you are a Princess

or not, it is never a good idea to

have a pee in the bed.

Next week we shall be retelling The Frog Prince.

Bet you can't wait!
