Pigeon, I hereby dub thee .....

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the naming of Mr P 019. So many entries! So many excellent names!


Some of the runners up : Squadron Leader P. John Smythe, Pingoe (which reminded me of Pingu - a favourite of mine the kid's, a few years ago), Percy/Percival - a popular contender, as was Walter, Woodie/Woody and Py/Pie. Captain Hook, Feathers and Biggles, all excellent names, as was Isambard Pigeon Brunel, but sadly I had to discount Charlie, as the creator of Mr P. (Sorry Charlie, but I didn't want it to look rigged or anything, now did I?)


But there can only be one two three four winners .... after all, everyone needs an extra name or two. Plus a nom de plume .....

So from here on, Mr Pigeon 019 will be known as .....

..... and just in case you can't see that ......

...... or Greg, for short ......

Thanks Working Mom Knits, Muddling Through, Rosie and Merry Mog for the brilliant names, if you could mail me at monkeemaker@yahoo.co.uk with forwarding addresses, I'll send you some goodies this week.

..... and if anyone is wondering how I managed to fit all those names on that tiny tag .....

..... I didn't .....

Talking of Merry Mog, recently she sent me a link to this recipe for some delicious looking Raspberry and White Choc Chip muffins. Thanks, Merry Mog. I think. Maybe you weren't reading my blog when I posted this entry. Or maybe you're just trying to rub in the fact that I can't bake. Whichever the case may be, I'm not going to hold it against you.

Oh no.

Because I've put all that bad baking behind me.

Why, just look at this batch of cupcakes I whipped up the other day .....

Mmmmm, don't they look good?





..... and I even sealed them in cellophane to keep them fresh. No, really, I did.

Sadly they'd all gone by yesterday, when the lovely and not at all Vicious Chicken came round to visit, but luckily she brought some delicious Blondies with her (thanks, VC!), and I had a great time knitting and chatting with a fellow monkey-loving blogger. Unfortunately she didn't wear her fabulous new slippers, but maybe she thought that risk was too great ..... given a certain someone's attraction to novelty footwear .....
