I've got a very runny nose, an earache and a cough and feel sorry for myself! Mummy and daddy try to cuddle me better as best they can, but with limited results I'll have to be a patient patient! ha! ha! ha!

Mum's tired this week as dad has hurt his legs in a ski accident, and has funny straps around them, and mum has to run after me on her own. I tried to keep dad in the game, but he was just too slow. Katerina, the Portuguese woman, has been looking after me some days, but it looks like we will have to replace her as she isn't available when mum and dad are working.

Auntie Lori and Uncle Eddie dropped in yesterday and very kindly brought some prepared meals for us as they knew about dad's present incapacity. I played with Alexander a bit.

I am 94cm tall and weigh 15.5 kgs.

The weather is cold outside - so I am inside.

My favourite toy is still my wooden trainset.

Happy St.Valentines' day to you all for Tuesday.

See you.
