Tweaked and Fettled

Dear Browsers and Browserettes,

here at the House we've had one of those tidying-up days that are from time to time necessary if one is to avoid disappearing under a pile of rusting armour.

Fetlock the Butler has been hardest at work - he's barely paused to draw breath, let alone consult the latest supplement to his Slovenian/English dictionary. This arrived earlier in the week in a brown-paper parcel and we await its unwrapping with some trepidation.

Dusted Down

Whilst the changes are small, Fetlock and I have been "fettling" the blog all day long to improve its overall appearance. I've oiled and greased a number of the pastings and Fetlock has dusted each one down with his customary zeal.

At the same time, I've also taken the opportunity to sort out the on-line equivalent of the sock drawer by responding to comments kindly left by readers during previous visits.

Spot the difference

We hope the minor tweaks and fettles enhance the enjoyment of your visit. Please do spend a moment or two looking around the blog to see if you spot any differences.

best regards

p.s. a few minutes ago Fetlock opened the brown-paper package with a triumphant yell that was heard the length and breadth of the House. Accordingly, we now know we should not be unduly alarmed when we hear him say "S smetano?", which is, apparently, an invitation to partake in whipped cream.

Mrs electrofried has already taken the sensible precaution of telephoning the fishmongers, just in case they should be confused when Fetlock places the usual weekly order on Monday morning.

Confusion abounds ... an abject apology!

Dear Browsers and Browserettes,

I am so sorry, but unfortunately Fetlock the Butler moved the Visitors' Book whilst dusting earlier today. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a temporary loss of functionality on the "comments" front.

The problem has now been sorted and Fetlock has been soundly boxed about the ears. Accordingly, the House is now in a position to receive your pastings.

Remember, it's not too late to take part in the Poll of Hounds. Which would you like most to see profiled in subsequent pages of the log? Please add your comments to the appropriate "Fact File" below.

best regards
