Year of the Monkey

Monty Monkey Cadbury Cococub
Monty Monkey, one of the Cadbury Cococubs produced by Britains as part of a free advertising giveaway for Cadbury Bournville Cocoa. The figures were designed by Ernest Aris who had illustrated the Beatrix Potter books.

 

Time for reassessment again.   Another new year in just over a month and this one involves monkeys.  I am not terribly superstitious but always check the horoscope for horses.  It is generally bad.  I have yet to encounter anything especially cheerful and assume that the cheerful news is for snakes or rats or some other annoying animal.

It is also Super Bowl Sunday and this will make yet another of a long line of Super Bowls I have not watched trailing back to the first.  It is not that I dislike football.  I just never saw the point.  I do like junk food and beer.  And sandwiches.  But the fascination of football eludes me.

Next week starts a major revision of the site.  All ten people who have visited this past year may not notice the change but it is coming.  Promise.
