Thursday 5th December 7:13am – Lying in the Castle of Penny via Text Message Penny: ‘Just woke up covered in tinsel’ Charlie: ‘What happened last night? Have the vampires in your cupboard turned into Santa’s elves?’ Penny: ‘Sadly I do not think my wardrobe has upgraded its supernatural inhabitants. I suspect it has more to do with the Pinkerton Family Christmas Tree decorating session I happened to be a part of last night…’ Charlie: ‘Ah… how did that go?’ Penny: ‘Let’s see, Mum wore an outfit comprised entirely of tinsel and Christmas aprons, Dad covered every doorway, computer screen, tv screen, cabinet, bookshelf and moving object including myself with tinsel, Bob made 329 inappropriate jokes about the blue baubles on the tree and Flossie serenaded us until the cats outside started joining in. To be frank, we make the Griswold’s look awfully normal…’ Charlie: ‘At least it’s over now’ Penny: ‘Oh no, it ain’t over til the inflated Fat Man sings… and Dad hasn’t even put him up on the roof yet…’ Wednesday 4th December

Penny *rolls eyes*: 'We are going to have aeroplanes landing in the street once this is done...' Father Bear: 'I'm not sure this will ever be done...' Penny *exhales*: 'I've got things to do! Things to write! Places to be!' Father Bear *raises eyebrows*: 'Not any time soon my little Christmas Elf' Penny *sigh*: 'Sweet Jesus' Father Bear: 'Yes, I believe we can blame him for this...'

Suspicions that my shoes have better dental hygiene than me, now confirmed. 6:42am – Still lying in the Castle of Penny Alternately, could belong to resident vampire, in which case, I feel much better about being bitten by a vampire man with such vigilant dental habits… |
