This past holiday season was very busy.
So much so that I am just having the chance to update now.
For that, I apologize.

Before Christmas I traveled to New York City for a weekend.



The highlight of the trip was lunch at the famous Katz Deli.

I'm hoping the owner will hang my picture on the wall.


New York is a beautiful city at Christmas time.

Wednesday morning, 7.30am.
I have the apartment to myself.
Ahhh.



When out by the door there arose such a clatter...


???

Can I help you?


Davenport!


...um, make yourself at home?

Deck up the tree with Christmas lights...

It's my very own tree!
I haven't decorated it yet.
Yes, it is made of felt.


Merry Christmas Season!

This is how it begins...








Not quite sure how I was appointed this job.




Happy Halloween!

New York, New York!

It was a bit of a train ride.


A friendly wizard in FAO Schwartz


Too friendly! Too friendly!


GRYFFINDOR!


Look! It's "Arry Pottah! (Look closely. I'm sitting on Hagrid's arm.)


SO. HAPPY.


...where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies...


BEST STUFFED ARTICHOKES EVER.


Central Park

Just one of those days.

Beetle Battle





Silly beetle! You are no match for Samwise!





I think I'll call you Bill.

Today we are in pursuit of the rare Stinky Felix Coniglio.
Remember, mates, don't try this at home. The Stinky Felix Coniglio can be very unstable and territorial, so we don't want to make him angry!
Since the Felix can be incredibly territorial, I am going to climb the walls of his burrow until I reach the top, where I can observe him from the ceiling.



Crikey! He's spotted us!







Oh, he's a fiesty one!



Friendly little bloke, isn't he?!





Oh! Well, that was exciting!
Thank you for joining me on my adventure today.
Oi.

Making sauce like an Italian Nona would.

AAhhahahahhAhh! Oh BAD! GAH!



Just kidding.
