So I've finally got around to uploading some photos from the past week. This is Maggie. She is a great dog, very fast and clever.

This is Lulu, who reminds me of a person sometimes.

Tom draws a cartoon every day for the newspaper.

I experienced the wonders of the Warehouse

And skated this park, was great fun. I love oldish parks that have got all weathered and rough, then have been painted over so they are sort of rough and slippery at the same time. Will logged some rollerblade footage of me shredding there (on a board). Confusing sentence.

Everywhere's a party when Ralph's around!
