Why can\u2019t it be bright and cheerful like sunshine? If it were like that then I wouldn\u2019t mind it so much. I\u2019m a bit worried as my Mistress says we get more fog here then we used to in Belgium and I can\u2019t say that that\u2019s a very inspiring thought. I wonder if there is any way to turn fog to my advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting scab from the friction burn I caused with the electrical cable stuck to my Mistress\u2019s sock the other day. I\u2019m a squeamish dog at the best of times and being told that the sudden flow of blood was all my fault came close to putting me off my food.<\/p>\n<p>My Mistress made the mistake of agreeing to James having a friend to stay last night.

It would be appropriate to celebrate this by eating and drinking to excess and having a hangover as he\u2019s the patron saint of headache sufferers.
