Christmouse - Nano

Clair has ordered a Christmas tree decoration from me for each of her three kids for their first Christmas. For Lottie I made a reindeer wrapped in fairy lights, then Lexie got a polar bear with a bell collar.

This year Minnie got a mouse - Nano. Complete with candy cane and cozy scarf.

Love of all things sweet

As many of you loyal subjects know I, King Dumbledore, have a sweet tooth - I got given it by the Tooth Fairy :)

Anyway I have been sampling a couple of exciting dishes recen

tly. One was at the Stenness Ice-Cream Parlour. I thought about the Stenness Monster but it is bigger than me and I had had breakfast already.

Then I also sampled some cake at the local Garden centre with Tom's help. I let him have a couple of crumbs as a thank you for his loyal service.

New Hat

Big thanks to Marjorie who knitted me a lovely and warm hat - so as the winter chill begins I will be the envy of all cold headed minions. 

Dumble Gets Crafty

The badge making phase included this gem Dumbledore wanted. It tell's everyone he's King Dumbledore. 'Course most of us could tell be the rather fetching pink crown he's wearing in the pic.

New slaves to do my bidding

Finally after months of trying to convince them the humans have finally got me rat slaves. These two little critters can do my bidding and fetch me food! There does seem to be a small problem right now where they eat the food rather than pass it on to their King but this will change soon enough!

Introducing Mortimer and Wheeler

I wanted to introduce you to Mortimer and Wheeler, our new rats. Mortimer is the grey and white while Wheeler is the brown and white.

Neither are too out going yet but both are getting braver as the week goes on.

They are named afterSir Mortimer Wheeler. A famous archaeologist from the 50's and 60's. He used to be on 'Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?' which got a panel of experts to work out what the chosen objects were. Wheeler used to go to the British Museum and see what had been borrowed from the collections to give himself an edge - genius!

Royal visit to the Dounby Show

Welcome to another thrilling excerpt from my life. I know you inferior humans like to read about my glorious fun so you can give meaning to your otherwise drab existence so I will regal you with the tale of my royal visit to Dounby show.

Dounby is a town in Orkney and the show is an opportunity to meet all the players in the area and catch up on the latest gossip. As you’d expect I enjoyed conversations with many of my loyal animal subjects. I am sure that these sheep will remember this moment for the rest of their limited existence.The local dogs performed for my pleasure. There did not appear to be much plot to their show but they put their heart into it and enthusiastically led their humans around a obstacle course.Like all good local shows a large attraction was the rides. I too love a good tea cup ride and I also really enjoyed the swing ride. I had ordered a royal video of the event but my PR lackey feels that not everyone would appreciate me going round in circles for a minute. I would urge you to campaign for your right to see this momentous movie, I think it’s a shocking piece of censorship that I am not being allowed to share it with you and make your dull little lives a bit brighter.

Adieu,
King Dumbledore
