**Hi Eberybuddy** Waves**

A Happy New Year to one and all - take it there's a cold snap over various places in the USA - it's raining here - with quite a bit of wind (and NO - Mario hasn't been here)!
I was going to be really good and have a soft drink - but I had Richard utter the magic word - Margarita.........................sooooooooooo.... ................I'll force myself to drink one a your fruity M's please Richard.

Did I hear pizza mentioned - or has it all gone????

Isn't the wonderful news re: CrackerJack marevellous? I'm just so happy for Debbie and Terry - and Peanut of course, even though she's not too keen at present. I'm convinced he'll win her round

ZC - I love the thought of that robot thingy - we bought the cats a small battery driven little mousie thing for Christmas - needless to say - none of them want to play with it - it scarews them to death! My big brave furries!! Luckily Diane bought tiny-mousie supplies over and cat nippy mousies too - the cats spend every moment zonked - or getting zonked!!

Laurie - is your other half any relation to Homer Simpson? Saxamaphone???? Alligamaters??? See where I'm coming from??? ROFLOL!!!!
