Remember, remember the 5th of November..

for more reasons than just the gunpowder plot!! Yesterday as everyone knows we elected a democrat to the white house for the first time in 8 years! The next four years are going to be very interesting for the nation and the world. Talk about inheriting a job with a few problems. Sam is very excited about the prospect of a first pet and wants to email the obama girls and suggest that they get an akita. Somehow I think they are after something a bit smaller that doesn't blow its coat twice a year. He is very intrigued about what life will be like for the girls and has suggested that they be home educated as there will be lots to learn by living in the white house. That is quite a sensible idea but I somehow think that the first couple are going to be a little busy to have the time to do that.

Guy Fawkes day was a bit of a damp squib weather-wise so we didn't even have sparklers. The bad weather meant that there were fewer fireworks going off which pleased rogue. Hopefully now things will be quiet until new year's eve.

This president has inherited a full plate to say the least...I feel hopefull and optimistic for the firt time in 8 years that things will get better for all of us. Bye bye "W". BTW, rumor has it that one of the Obama girls has allergies and the family is considering a goldendoodle puppy.
