Good morning everybody.

Today I was going to write a long post about pension systems in Northern Rock and if greed really works long term. I think we can all agree that deciding against writing such a post is a good idea.

Yesterday we tried putting newspapers in the welping box to soak up the puppy business they are starting to produce. There is a lot coming out of them now.

We soon found out it did not work very well. All the newspapers were immediately shredded. Not even the Sunday Telegraph could withstand the puppies shredding abilities. During the week we will find out if there really is any difference between the Telegraph and the News of the World.

The girls love to carry around one of the boys in this blanket.

It's been left with us to soak up puppie smell and it will follow

one of the puppies home.

They are all sleeping now around 9.00 in the morning.

I am going out now for a spot of sailing on the Solent. Is it over indulgent?

The answer is yes but you have got to enjoy the jet set life style while it lasts.

By the way, Gianina is here looking after the dogs.

Cheers, Per
