Today was also an interesting day for another reason. I got home to a fat envelope. It contained an unsigned card and this little guy:

Now I sort of have a collection of hippos and this is a very welcome addition. But who’s it from? Scrutiny of the envelope and a little deduction and I realised – M.’s sister sent it. I shall have to think of a suitable thank-you for her.
I’ve decided to call him Tippy Tippo the tiny hippo. He really is a little guy – here he is hiding behind a 5p piece. (and that’s one of the new small ones, not the old big ones)

Cute ain’t he?
