Saturday
As usual I woke before the rest of the house and decided to make good use of my time by heading out to Tesco to do the weekly shop. It was something I had not done for some months having changed my allegiance to online shopping. I can't see me rushing to do it again because the place was packed with the great unwashed (yes I am a snob!). Anyway the online shopping fee is bloody good value for money as far as I am concerned. I came home feeling very grumpy and got sent to bed by Mendi – she always seems to know what is best for me ;@) An hour or so later I emerged to galvanise the troops into action. We took Mendi's parents up to the iron-age fort at Borough Hill. This gave all of us a chance to get LOTS of really fresh air and for Maggie to exhaust herself and get really muddy.
Alexi's godmother and her family came round in the afternoon. Melissa is one of Mendi's best friends from her school days and is great fun. She was particularly entranced by the chair of
Mendi was exhausted by all the entertaining and disappeared for a nap in the early evening. This proved to be a very good thing as she needed lots of energy later! :@)

I'm still waiting to meet my new managers so that they can agree my Terms of Reference. So in the meantime I'm still doing background research and reading into the job. Not the most enthralling of tasks, but hey – they are still signing the cheques! ;@)
I was pleased to getaway and drive back to Rutland. Pixie was very pleased to see me and I got pounced on by a very

This morning, I really did not want to get up after too little sleep. However, work beckoned and I pointed the car through the deep snowfields of Rutland (all of 2mm!) It was a rotten drive with the weather making it pretty hazardous. I love snow, but it's not any fun at 6am!
Other Stuff
Mendi told me that Maggie has just come into season. We're hoping to find her a boyfriend and so Project Maggiepuppies may be live!
As part of our summer holidays Pixie and I will be spending a week camping near the sea in South West Wales. We will be accompanied by Alexi, Ivan and possibly
