Monday Mayhem

Mayhem, I tell ya!

Okay, it's not really mayhem.  I have just found myself pulled in many directions today--all of them perfectly good directions, mind you.  Given that I'm still a little groggy for the stupid, time change, and that it's already the afternoon, I can tell that I'm just not going to get back on schedule blog-wise today.   So, I may as well just accept that and carry on.  

Join us, won't you, tomorrow as we continue with the usual shenanigans?

Bertie is ready, he as all sorts of things to share with you.  

We'll see you tomorrow!

Joseph, Bertie, Punch and Oscar

Busy Day Today

The Victoria & Albert Museum

I suspected today might turn out to be a busy day, and, my senses were spot on.  There's not been a moment to think of pretty, little antiques, Punchinello or even Lobster-clawed ladies. So, you'll have to extend a hand or pincer of patience to me today.

Tomorrow, I'll be back on schedule.  Until then, we offer a hearty "Howdy doo," and promises for much excitement to come.

"A Recipe for Punch" Will Be Back Tomorrow

With the specter of the Duchess of Fallbridge screaming through the great house, of course, Lennie's fiance would arrive.  Punch, Robert and Lennie have much to share with the Earl of Cleaversworth.  Not only have they found a new auntie, a Lobster Lady who has been living in the attics, but they also discovered Punch's and Lennie's mother's corpse in a cupboard whilst her apparition rages throughout the house.  None of this may bode well for the upcoming nuptials.

However, we won't be finding anything out today since I've got a jam-packed schedule.

So, join me tomorrow when things might be a tad more...something better.

In the meantime, you can catch up on any chapters you might have missed.

An Unexpected Day Off

Hello All,

Sorry, but it has shaped up to be a very busy day, and I'm going to have to take the day off from our fun here.

We'll be back at it tomorrow.

See you then.

Joseph

One more day...

Hello everyone,

I'm still quite sick.  I look at it this way--it's my body's way of purging itself from all of the putrid, vile, horror of the past year so that it might function all rosy and aglow in 2014.

Or...

It could just be that I'm sick.

Nonetheless, I'm giving myself one more day to recover.

So, we'll begin with our 2014 festivities tomorrow and we shall do so with all sorts of exciting things.

I'll see you then.

Joseph
