Bibliophile

Hi,

Well what a B*****Y awful day, so i'm going to hibernate, i've put the heating on, so it takes the dampness away and i'm just going to play and maybe, if pushed do some housework !!

As there were quite a few Men's challenges around i thought i would put this stamp to good use, plus I will be sending it to my FIL for Father's Day, as the little cat poking his head over the top of the chair reminds me of H, annoying his Grandad while he's trying to concentrate !!! The papers are about 5 years old, bought from the craft shop in my village (which has been shut down, now for over a year) and i've only used them once before and i don't know why, as they are great colours.
