Oh dear girls,

Cos it's going to get cold and I'm to be left with Dad for two weeks, while she goes home to Mother Russia, I've got stuck with this hideous creation. The old girl was clacking away with her needles for about an hour making all sorts of cooing sounds while it took shape. Quite frankly I thought it was something for him (after all he is 'old'), then with a flourish she sprung this on me! She's off Sunday but hopefully as Dad thinks I look such an idiot, he won't make me put it on. I'm only 10 months old, so I haven't faced a full English winter yet? Who knows the girl from the Urals may be right. After all it can be 'werry cold, oh yes minus of zirty degrees', where she's going, but the East coast of England in October - over reaction I think. I haven't seen anyone over here in our world wearing headgear, except one wierd old girl who must have got her head stuck in a plastic funnel a few days ago!
