Wednesday 13th January

Uh-oh, in BIG trouble. That tray we used to make the roof for the igloo WAS a wedding present, it came from Mum’s Auntie Mimi and she ALWAYS asks to see it whenever she comes for tea. Dad told me. He’s really funny about her, he always goes “Hide! Hide!” when she comes and pretends he’s going to go into the cupboard under the stairs and not come out.

Actually they get on really well really… specially when Auntie Mimi’s had some of her favourite ‘El Matador’ sherry…

Also he said it was really expensive and that’s why we hardly ever use it ‘cos of messing it up with tea stains or whatever. Trouble IS, being the roof on the igloo HAS marked it, it’s wood and now some of the snow’s melted you can see this big STAIN all over it. Put some snow back to cover it up for now. Oh no oh no. Don’t know WHAT – TO – DO!!
