Sirius? The brightest star in the sky?

No, sorry! Citrus!

Today I ate an orange for the first time in years. I'm not counting those small orange clementine, satsuma, tangerine things that you eat your own body weight of at Christmas time. No, I'm talking a proper grown up orange.

I don't usually eat them because I hate the peel under my finger nails, so today I cut one in quarters and peeled the skin away with no bother.

I took Alexander to nursery this morning then got on with clearing the loft. This afternoon a gentleman knocked on the door asking me to donate to Battersea Dogs Home. He nearly fainted when my two hounds pushed their faces out of the window!
