December 9. “There is still hope for this world. I read a bit of news this morning which made me feel good for a change:

December 8. “Button, I must tell you about this hilarious sight I witnessed on my way to the club:
I saw a crow pulling along a paper bag and desperately trying to untie the string so he could get to whatever was inside it. He failed on the first count, shook the bag fiercely and attempted to untie the string again.”
December 6. “Button, I read a very interesting bit of news in the TOI today. Apparently the potato and tomato plants are carnivores!”
“What’s that?”
“Carnivores are non-vegetarians. Can you believe that the tomato and potato plants are non-vegetarian?”
December 7. “Button, do you find these tidbits I share with you once in a while of any interest?”
“Very. I don’t get to read as much as I would want to so I learn every time you pass on bits of information or have a good laugh at some of the jokes you crack.”
December 5. “Have you heard of Tiger Woods, Button?”
“Of-course. Who hasn’t! He’s THE golf legend.”
December 4. “I got fed-up trying to check my mail on Google and Yahoo. God knows why it’s so slow!”

December 3. “Button, Rani’s surgery went off rather well. My elder daughter brought her back home at around 1 in the afternoon.
The girl is so brave she tried to get up and walk the minute she returned even after being heavily sedated. By evening she was up and about.”
Flash Post 22!
“Button, read this: Parents of Clodagh, a 4-year old girl, who was heartbroken when she lost her teddy bear, went ahead and launched a social media campaign in order to reunite them! The teddy went missing at Dublin Zoo.”
December 2. “Button, I must tell you about my experience this morning.
It was rather quiet at around 9 when I heard some parrots making a racket outside our bedroom window. The windows have been boarded up the second time round which you are aware of and they were chattering away to their hearts content.”
December 1. “Rani had an accident this morning.
You remember me telling you about the big growth she has on her neck?”
