Death of the Bunny

Easter, a time of joy and celebration unless you are Magnus the Bunny. The tail of Magnus started a couple of weeks ago when I rescued him from M&S. He seamed like a happy chap, living on the kitchen table. Little did he know then what fate had in store for him. He may have got a little scared when Gail started talking to him and telling him of how many days there were till Easter.

As Easter arrived so did Hazel, and now Magnus got really scared. I freed him from his plastic home, hoping that the poor bunny might evade the chocoholics but it was to late. Poor Magnus was captured weighed and executed. His remains were divided among his executioners.

New Drive Video Clip

I have just got the video clip of the drive working at last. Scroll down a bit and play the video, you can see the whole drive as I walk up and down it.

Easter Bunny

Lots of fun at work handing a out Easter eggs.

Ruari and Bubbles

Sunday was one of those wonderful spring days. We drove up to St Albans listening to a very badly read version of The Borne Supremacy. We grabbed a quick cup of coffee (or tea in Gail’s case), said hello to Rob, gave Tanner a quick kick and headed off with Hazel for Eil & Bob’s.


Ruari of course got all shy when we got there but that didn’t last long, particularly when a chocolate Easter egg appeared. Then after a quick change of clothes we all got shown the music box.

Jim soon appeared with a crate of beer (what a wonderful man he is) and Gail took my car key (what a wonderful wife she is). Eil produced a great lunch and then we went and sat in the Garden and enjoyed the sunshine. Ruari as you can see from the video was having a wonderful time.



We made our excuses around five (we were meaning to leave at four but were having to much fun, and made our way home via St Albans. We finished the day with an M&S curry for two and the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who.

Sorry Lisa, couldn't resist putting this one up. Three generations of camera supporters.

Sister Gertrude

We have a potential Saint in the family, Sister Gertrude; the family tree is readable if you enlarge the photo. Sister Gertrude can be found on the top right hand side.

Prayer to obtain graces through the intercession of Sister Gertrude, Poor Clare (Josephine Scanlon)

Lord Jesus, You lovingly called Sister Gertrude to a life of prayer, solitude and penance in the Order of ST. Clare and endowed her with the virtues of humility, simplicity and unconditional obedience thus making her an inspiring example of fidelity, sisterly love and charity, deign we beseech You to glorify her, and hear the requests of all those who ask her intercession especially the petition I now implore, [mention here the favour you wish to pray for]. Grant above all, that we may learn from her how to be always ready to do Your Will and grow steadfastly in love of You. Amen.
