<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI cannot be trusted around marzipan. I cannot be trusted around marzipan. I have to write it out 100 times. I cannot be trusted around marzipan. I suggested it might be better to make my Mistress write \u201cI should not leave marzipan on the table when I go out.\u201d To be fair the marzipan was securely fastened in a plastic bag and I had seen my Mistress going to a lot of trouble with getting the orange food colouring to go through it evenly ready for making marzipan fruits. I was good. I could have eaten the fruit and veg she\u2019d already made, but I didn\u2019t. I only ate what was waiting to be made into shapes and even then I restricted myself to the orange. I could have eaten the green, red, yellow and purple but I limited myself. To be honest the orange was so like the red I thought she wouldn\u2019t miss it, but I forgot to put the empty plastic bag in the bin so it gave me away. And it was a protest because I didn\u2019t get to go to the Carols on the Green and see Santa. They could have taken me as well as Ari. It didn\u2019t help that Ari came back saying what a great time he\u2019d had and how many lovely people he had met. Ah well. I\u2019ll be forgiven soon. Ari made everyone laugh by taking part in singing one of the carols. He didn\u2019t know the words but it didn\u2019t stop him singing along in true Entlebucher fashion. I always thought the other three of us had a wide vocal range, but Ari is a born singer and can hit notes I didn\u2019t even know existed. Today\u2019s photo is Ari meeting Santa for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
