Wowzers trousers, it’s been so long since I posted here I forgot how to login, and had about 100 plugins (including WordPress itself) to update! That meant that to make most of the plugins that I’d custom CSS’d function correctly, I was forced (due to wanting to post the entry tonight) to revert to an old and very basic theme, then fiddle frantically to just have the majority of them work!

Anyway, this entry might be rather bandwidth intensive – You have been warned!!

So, what have we been up to.. Given that the last time you saw us, we were see-sawing on the Saw ride at Thorpe Park!

Let’s start with this week – Unfortunately there’s been a disaster in the land of Roo, why you ask?

Well, Ala (her, LovelyBum, Lala, the missus et cetera) has gone to Poland for a couple of weeks and left me to fend for myself in the scary old London. I’m doing my best to feed myself, wash myself, style myself and love myself (well, not that) but in reality I’m useless without her, and not just because she feeds me, styles me and loves me. For a million other reasons that an hour or two a night on Skype and numerous Whatsapp messages/texts/emails just doesn’t help with.

Oh well, I’ll just have to muddle through as best as I can until we spend an immeasurable amount of days (which is a fancy way of saying I don’t remember how many days we’re going for) visiting the family in Meols towards the end of the month (which is a not so fancy way of saying I don’t remember when we’re going). See, I muddle!

Wonky is helping a little bit though, but we still miss Fanny (you can see our beasties here) and I’ve posted some new photos of Wonky in amongst the mass of photos towards the bottom (heh, bottom) of this entry!

As well as that the missus and I are looking for our first proper house together with a little help from First Steps, London (which I’m going to plough through tonight), we outgrew our current place of residence months if not years ago!

Wish us luck, or failing that just give us a mansion in Somerset and we’ll be happy!

Oh, I recorded chapter one of Roald Dahl’s The Twits for Ala a couple of days ago – More to follow I promise honey!

There’s also this!

And finally (for videos, anyway) there’s this little gem –

And here’s some choice photos!

And finally two of my favourite photos of all time!

That’s all for now, folks!

Miss you Ala <3!

Ala and I are in Meols, and we’re having a smashing time!!

Excuse my rather Father Christmasesque laughing, I was happy because Ala was walking a dog (it doesn’t take much to entertain me).

I felt like such a pimp, strutting around a park with my two favourite bitches..

Dirty Old Town – As sung by Gary (strumming boy), Amy (recorder girl), LovelyBum (singing girl), Neil (drummer boy) and RooBot (ME!).

And finally..

(I hate Queen, love my sister though.)

I do know what I want (a box of Lipton Yellow Label Tea) and I also know how to get it (the Polish shop up Caledonian road, near the pound shop that sells batteries that last ten minutes), thank you very much..

Ala leaves for Poland tomorrow, let the pining begin..

At the health centre this evening..

Nurse – “How would you like your results sent to you, by text?”

Me – “By text would be fine, thank you.”

Nurse – “So, where did your name come from? A cartoon character?“

Me – “It came from here (I said, tapping my forehead) but mostly from AndREW. There is a cartoon character called Roo but I’m not sure what creature it is.. I’ll Google it when I get home and text you the results.”
