Team Ball Player Thing – Kids Edit

Lonely Tuesday.....

Poor Cuddles got left behind this afternoon - lucky I discovered him stuck in his black bag.
As I type, Cuddles is all tucked up in a warm blanket with Minnie & Mickey mouse as company.

I hope they don't get into too much mischief overnight ;)

Cuddles watching Miss Burt work - he wasn't too keen on doing any data entry for me. Hmmph!!!!

Miss Burt might give this a go this weekend ;)
