Mimi and Michael Mouse will arrive from Moscow with their Mocha Malts

Nora and Nicholas Newfoundland Dog from Newmarket will bring their Nummy Nibbles

We decided to end the guest list before making it to the end of the alphabet, but we trust that the zany Zeke and Zelda Zebra know they and their zingy zabaglione always have a standing invitation to any party!

Erato and I will not be hosting Parlour Games on January 25, due to to Festival, but we extend our very warmest invitation to one and all to join us next time in the Parlour, on February 1st, same time (Monday, 4 p.m. WAT), same place (Morpheus Rose Garden East).

In the meantime, Dream Well all!
