Jaffa Cakes v Maryland Cookies

After the missing Jaffa Cakes episode a few days back it has been noted that a mostly full packet of Maryland Cookies is on The Desk.
Technically dogs are not permitted to be on The Desk. At all. Not even for dog-related purposes*.
AS and I have been discussing whether the Maryland Cookies are a Test of how well we now understand the technical Rule mentioned above.
If it is a Test, I might pass as my hips ache a bit too much to make the effort to get on The Desk anyway but AS will certainly fail.
Bwahahahahahahaaaaa! AS is going down!
*Purposes = grooming self, being groomed by others, writing blog posts, sending e-mails and the like.

Agent Slim - the return of

Agent Slim (AS) is back. She's been here for a week and the following things have happened:

1. a new cleaning cloth has been designated for 'Dogs'. It's kept with my towels
2. Muddy Puddle has been filled in
3. a pile of fox poo was discovered
4. I was put in a bath and made to smell of 'tea tree oil'
5. a packet of jaffa cakes was stolen

I can hardly keep up!
Send help.

Rabbit

I have not blogged in ages! There's no good reason for this except that you must all have noticed that bloggers are inconstant, no?
Anyway, I thought I'd tell you about my recent adventure chasing a rabbit. 
There was me, the rabbit, a long stretch of flatness and then an 80 foot drop. I spotted the rabbit with my keen vision and some help from said rabbit (stood up on its hind legs, poked out its tongue and chanted "Nah nah nah" at me - not really). Once spotted I realised that this was a rabbit that required some chasing so I duly belted off after it and it disappeared into some bushes which turned out to disguise a massive drop down a steep slope.
I think we all learned a lesson from this episode.

Taking January Off

It's good to take a break every now and then, arrive back all raring to go etc...
Actually I'm planning an afternoon on the sofa rather than doing any raring. TBH, it's just a bit too cold for me to be really enthused about stuff. If I had a slanket, I reckon I'd be bundled up in it.

Foxes

I rarely set eyes on the foxes I know to be hiding in the bushes in the park but I can smell them a mile off. Given the number of thorns I pick up plunging about in the brambles searching for them, it would be nice to actually see one of these elusive beasts every now and then.

In other news, I have a very aching hip.

Advent-tageous

I don't have an advent calendar due to some neglect of FP's but if I did have one it would have my favorite snacks in each of the windows.

I'd like it to start with a pig's ear and I wouldn't mind to be fair if there was a pig's ear behind each and every window! However, for the sake of variety I will accept Bonios, Jumbones, gravy bones, Kit Kats, Kitty cats, squirrels, Toblerones, Markies, scraps of ham, anything FP's eating and anything ST thinks is good. This is not too much to ask.

Television

From my place on the sofa I have a good view of the television. The programmes ST & FP watch don't always make me laugh. And I don't like adverts much. Especially the ones where people 'play' glasses as musical instruments. It's a stupid thing to do.

There's also a ridiculous need apparently to discover the nation's favourite Abba song. I ask you!

I enjoy Poirot though. Yes, give me a 2 hour Poirot and I'm as happy as I can be, burdened as I am by early fireworks and what-not.
