murder at 4am!!!

i innocently bought this for gardenia

wish i hadn't

she attacks it every morning at 4am

and brings it into my bedroom of course!!!

panic over...camera is ok...just a dirty lens caused by these (i think!!!)

i hasten to add i do NOT eat pork pies or even buy them...i was just preparing some at a friend's and grease was transferred from pies to my fingers to my camera lens!!!

i think i need a new camera cos everything is coming out in soft focus!!!

my favourite vegetable...brussel sprouts
