You'll have noticed a drop-off in blog entries this week because it's been SO busy - even by our standards. The last Python Course before Christmas from Sunday to Wednesday has run into the last Lua Course of 2011 running from Thursday to Sunday (yes, we're up to a seven day week!). Add to that various meetings and - the big news - we formally adopted Billy on Tuesday. So now we are five! Billy has changed our morning routine somewhat - with two dogs, one of whom is very close to being a purebred greyhound, we're now out at dawn in the field behind our home.




When we get back home, the dogs stick around Lisa to make sure that they get their breakfast ...




Then it's a tough morning of frenzied activity in the lounge:




A huge "Thank you" to Gerry, Hilary, Lisa, Ali and everyone else who has done so much for Billy over the past few months; he's been brought back from the border of starving to death to a sleek and very fast animal - just a short way to go in ironing out a couple of habits, but I'm sure we'll get there.
