THE YEAR OF THE DOG.. THE CHINESE NEW YEAR STARTS ON FEBRUARY 18th DON'T DO LAUNDRY, USE SCISSORS, SWEEP THE FLOOR & AVOID CRYING CHILDREN.

When she read that bit in the article about the Chinese New Year this morning, she laughed so much she started coughing, that was a bit alarming for I was perched on her head at the time.

"Well GeeGee, that's easy enough, isn't it, I won't use secateurs as they're gardener's scissors, won't sweep up leaves and luckily there aren't any crying babies out there".

What's it like out there with you? We're talking, of course, about 'the' weather. On Sunday she spoke with a friend who lives in Exeter who said that it was bitterly cold and trying hard to snow.. brrr.. and our papers are full of gloomy news of ghastly weather for the half term break.

It was, as we told you, utterly glorious here in London yesterday, the sun was shining, birds were singing and she found 10, yes, 10 avocadoes for £2.00, as they're good for you and she loves them, that was a really nice 'find'.

But getting back to today, cor, what a difference a day makes! It's disgusting out there now, the rain is raining, the wind is windy and the temperature has dropped again.. so will we get snow? 

I don't know but she's thinking of much happier things, like what we could have as a huge treat to celebrate 'The Year of the Dog' on Sunday.

We watched a programme last night on cooking, the chef cooked a Belly of Pork, we lurve pork, and she's just thought.. hmmm.. roasted belly of pork Chinese style would be a delicious treat and tasty as cold meats for the next week.

But she must remember.. not to do any laundry on Sunday!

GeeGee Parrot.
