Be Jealous . . .
whilst in Barcelona we visited the Marine Museum which happened to have an exhibition dedicated to "Pirates" and their evil deeds. In fact, the "Pirates" turned out to be "privateers" given permission by the English crown to harass and capture any Spanish ships upon the high seas. It just goes to show that one Spaniard's Pirate is another Englishman's patriot. He He He! Didn't enjoy that a bit.

But Elsie is also jealous . .

of what we saw in Barcelona.

Elsie is delighted . . .

What a lot of Marys! Phew? - no, lots!

Sally missed a merry gathering of the Marys recently at Knowsley when Anna, the right Mary brought Elsie, the left of centre Mary, to see Fiona, the far left Mary, and Mary.

Sally's fish were glum at not seeing her for a while - look how sad Spiro was! But after a chat and some fish flake food(fff) they became more resigned to their limited company.

So 10 mins later . . . .

Elsie continues to grow up fast.

Elsie now likes to do the Daily Telegraph criptic crossword. She was doing quite well with Thursday's (always quite a hard one), until she got stuck on 5 down . . .
