Oh my, what can I say ……
….. except for a MAHOOOOOSIVE “Thank You” for all the lovely Christmas cards you have sent to me. 
It’s been quite overwhelming when I have come in knackered from work to find such beautiful cards waiting for me on the doormat. 
I have appreciated each and every one for all the work that has gone into them ……. 
….. and the wonderful heartfelt messages inside them ….. 
…. it really, really has meant so very much to me …. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart…….
…. as the Monkeys are so oft heard to say “I feel very blessed in a Hello Magazine type way!”
Talking of whom …… a very robust THANK YOU from Monkey, Darrell and Nigel too …. for all their little presents and cards ….. 
…… it never ceases to amaze me how they have been embraced and taken into the hearts and bosoms of their followers!
They have kept me sane, if that’s the right word…… 
……. forcing me to go out and do things, even when I really wanted to stay under the sheets, and to look at the world through their innocent and whimsical eyes ….. to find something funny to photograph and write about. 
Marc said that his partner Rick had commented, after meeting me that he realised that each monkey was (loosely) based on a different characteristic of my personality ….. so that’s my straight jacket ordered and in the post then …..!!!! Oh my life! – Anyway THANK YOU again on behalf of The Boys …. (who will, hopefully, be posting each day, over the holiday) 
I don’t “think” there will be any Fiddle Fart blog posts in the week leading up to New Years Eve/New Years Day, but hopefully I can use part of my time off work to get a few posts scheduled, because at the moment, I confess, there is very little in the pot.
xxxxx Once again, can I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kindness and thoughts and wish you all a VERY, VERY HAPPY AND PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS xxxxx
Hip Hip Hooray!!
