The Correspondence Edition

Hello Sports Fans, and welcome to the first blog entry in two years that I'm not writing while getting paid to do another job.

After having a good lie-in, I've just finished watching the movie Up (from the makers of Toy Story FYI), it is the story of an old man that uses helium balloons to make his house fly. Coincidentally, that is a tactic that Dave is looking to incorporate during his comeback from ankle surgery, here's a pic that my spy in Queensland took during one of his recent recovery sessions

Whhheeeeeeeee!


Now with that out of the way, let's go to the mailbag...

Hi Blogger Bav, long-time reader, first-time contributor. Did you know that in Toy Story, the toolbox used to trap Woody in Sid’s room bears the name “Binford Tools”.
Binford Tools is the fictional hardware company which sponsored “Tool Time”, the handyman show-within-a-show from the series Home Improvement. Another Disney production, Home Improvement also starred Tim Allen, who provided the voice of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story! 


Must dash, Dave needs another sponge-bath.

Thanks Kate, while you are slipping into your nurses uniform, let's go to the internet to see whether you are a no good filthy liar.

Kate Sherwin - not a no good filthy liar.

Hi Anonymous Blog Person, as you probably know when I recently got married, the only thing on our gift registry was Lego, and as a result we got lots and lots of Lego. Look what I knocked up last weekend.

Nice work on the chin dimple KT, the one on Buzz looks good too
 Keep those letters coming through, and I'll try and respond to them all, because I'm Dear Danni and I'm here to help. Bye.

That's a Simon Townsend's Wonder World reference, for those of you too young to remember it, it was the birthplace of Catriona Rowntree!
