View fullsize View fullsize Yup, Mum is happy to leave both of them right here. View fullsize No K. Noi today, so Lucy joins us for a stroll down to the Korean grocery store.

He's too lucky! View fullsize And one for Lucy too, although she'll need to be a little older to ride this one. View fullsize Lucy spent the entire weekend trying to get the cats to play ball. View fullsize View fullsize Maybe Tong would like the ball, since Satang didn't want it? View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize Big hug for Aa Top, who also got Arlo a fancy new remote control offroader... View fullsize ... and a classic fishing game!
