Blue

Not my mood but the name of this little man who kept me sane (and busy) last year. He was a rescue pup, advertised as a 'small jack russell type' but he forgot to stop growing. Here he is this morning in his defiant stance up to his knees in mud! 

On another note the Christmas decorations came down today. There are two things I have learned over the years about taking down the decorations. 

1.  There is always something you miss, which you find after you've put everything else back up in the loft.

2.  No matter how carefully you put away the fairy lights they will always be a jumbled mess when you get them out next Christmas.

The house looks much tidier and more sensible now although this year I think I would have preferred to keep the Christmas jaunt.
