With a change of date for our annual Christmas party, TPR also altered the menu. He replaced the traditional crecy pies with homemade puffin meatballs. I wasn’t sure that many people would be tempted to try them. I for one could not bring myself to taste a delicacy made from such a cute little bird.

Meanwhile I had other things on my mind. I needed to repair TPR’s brown jumper, but our only supplies of wool were blue. I was also in trouble for “ignoring” the friendship of CP and FM.
