4 sleeps to go

The surprise that I talked about ages ago and then promptly forgot to leave clues to is:

 ROSY

My new pet. She is my 40th birthday present from The Big Man. Forever I have wanted a pig. I have wooden pigs, eraser pigs, fabric pigs, now... I have a real live house pig.

I canna wait. She is arriving on Saturday but I won't see her till Sunday. I am off north to visit a friend with a friend, and when I come home, my little Rosy will be here waiting for me... oh how exciting.

I will post a pic each day until she arrives, her mother has been very kind and has sent updates regularly. Poor little mite, The Big Man is going to sleep with her on the first night so that she is not so worried because all her brothers and sisters and mother are not with her... didn't think he had it in him actually!
