More sad news...

We have had another loss of the animal variety today, this time it was Dibble, Chelsea's Guinea Pig. It came as another total shock, and we have had another day of tears and great sadness. I know that these things have to be expected, but it's still so tough.

After dealing with the loss and cleaning out cages, we were really in no mood to do anything other than curl up in front of the fire and mellow out watching TV. We watched a couple of interesting documentaries on the National Geographic channel, and then settled down to watch Mrs Santa Claus. It was a lovely feel-good Christmas film that was thoroughly enjoyed by the children (and shhh, by me too).

I have spent the evening watching the Olympia horse show on Eurosport, and finishing off a few of the "special people" Christmas cards I am giving out this year. One for my parents, one for our lovely neighbour, and one for a very close friend and her family. I haven't done any cardmaking for so long, it was quite nice to be crafting in front of the fire :o)
