05:58 pm: Thank you fans and friends for your lovely birthday wishes and gifts. I know I don't look anywhere near it, but I am now TWENTY years old! Unbelieveable, I know!

Anyway, here I am with my fabulous new ELECTRIC guitar and my new rockstar clobber. Please notice the bling, the ripped denim and the fabulous bandana.

05:54 pm: I thought you might like to see my new belt and manly wristlet. Anna cleverly made them out of a Chambord bottle cover solid gold.

The belt says ROYALE DELUXE. At no point does it say CHAMBORD LIQUEUR, not at all.

08:28 pm: Fashion Prade!
Anna has been tidying, so she got out all my clothes and made me do modelling for her. It's a good job I'm such an easy going and helpful mouse - some people would have complained.

For your enjoyment, here is my entire wardrobe, including some of my very old baby clothes and accessories. Click to enlarge - which of COURSE you want to do.

Me and ALL MY STUFF.


My first nightie:

(it's got pirates on it, just like a nightshirt that Terry had.) It does up by ribbons because when I was a baby, I hadn't had my big hand-separating surgery.

Baby knickers. I sometimes still wear these for Outdoor Activities that require sturdy clothing. Like whale hunting.


All my accessories:


Last Christmas's angel/choirboy coat.


Part of a very VERY old Robin Hood outfit I had shortly after Kevin Coster did that film. I had a bow and a sparkly neck scarf thing, but Anna has LOST THEM. Note my sheepskin and leather quiver and the REAL ARROWS.


Backpack:


My business stuff:


Contents of my briefcase - headed paper, clipboard, filofax, compliments slips and business cards:


also moustache, comb, pencil, and keys to the Porsche.

My Christmas cloak with alternative bags:
                        
Sparkly cloak:
       
 
Summer fun:
       
Harry Potter:
 
              
All my hats:
                 

I am a Highland Laddie:                


Lycra shorts from the 80s:

Anna claims that these were made out of an old leotard of hers, but I'm sure she must be joking. Initially they were plain, and I wore them for gymnastics and swimming and with my Superhero cape, but later she ruined them by adding the glitter.

Superhero:


Matador (or alternatively, paso doble):
                             
               
Lorgnette:


Mountie:
                              

Pink coat for Christmas a couple of years ago:


Little House on the Prairie bonnet: 
                    

Pat Cash headband from 1987 (I used to have a tennis racquet to go with it, but Anna BROKE it):


My pink boa:


My white boa:


Spanish:


Winter sheepskin:


And last but not least, my brand new rock star denim. Please note the frayed armholes that show off my rippling muscles, and my tough wrist protectors. Bruce copied me.
  
And I suppose only the Springsteen fans will understand this one, but here I am OUTLAW PETE!!

07:19 pm: I went Camping!
Anna took me too Northumberland. It wasn't the usual level of comfort and entertainment that I am used to, but it was very pleasant.

I had a tent.


Which Anna could not have put up without my assistance.


I visited my good friend Northumberland at his country pad, Alnwick Castle:


where I played in a cannon:



And I met and got cuddled by a Lovely Lady:


...who TOTALLY came into my tent.

04:45 pm: I am rather a fan of Mr Monkey.

Now, while I'm not usually a fan of monkeys (far too silly, and they don't tend to have nice round shapes), Mr Monkey is very stylishly provided for by his human companions. He has a proper website (take note, gingerelanor !) and a vast array of hats. He also has holidays with proper photos. And days out. And a CAR! And a bicycle. He also sometimes does Exciting Things.

One thing that this "Mister" Monkey does NOT have is a guitar. HA.

09:14 pm: The Great Easter Egg Hunt
All clickable to enlarge. Whole set here.

I set out on a bright Easter morning, basket in hand and a song in my heart.





Here's one in a tree!


And another!


I leave my basket in a safe place, and scramble further to get another egg.


Here's one!


Here's another one!


Here's one!


Dare I brave the ferocious beast to get to the chocolatey treasure?


I tackle the mountain.



Happy Easter!!

05:30 pm: It has been brought to my attention that I have not updated my journal in 45 weeks. I must profoundly apologise on behalf of my staff. Clearly they are incompetent.

ANYWAY, I am sure you have been waiting, agog to know how my Christmas went, so I am here to fill you in on the juicy details.

Firstly, I had a rather dashing outfit.


Then, I received the BEST PRESENT EVER!


I also got an AMAZING tribute to my dapperness, look!


And a cake stand, for when Anna makes cakes:


And a pile of other things;


I am a very lucky mouse.

06:37 pm: LAYDEEEZ!!
It has come to my attention that my Valentine's card which I sent only once of course to one LOVELY LADY may have been taken for nasty horrid old spam, rather than a lovely nice Valentine card from MOI. So, if you happen to be a Lovely Lady it might be worth you checking your spam/trash folders for email from Mystery Admirer and actually opening it.

08:59 pm: I HAS A BAG!!!
Lovely Celia came to visit at the weekend, and she brought me a very expensive designer bag. Sgorgous, innit?

06:22 pm: HOLIDAY MOUSE!!
At last, I hear you shout! Here he is, the B'lin is back from holiday, and updating with some gorgeously cute photos.

Unless Anna has cocked up the formatting (I'm dictating this - we executive mice don't do our own typing you know!) then all the gorgeous photos should be clickable, allowing you to see the gorgeousness in its full glory.
Pioneer B'lin and his covered wagon.
Cowboy B'lin, and his wonderful hat.                                                                                       
Huckleberry B'lin on the Mississipp.i                                                          
Paddling B'lin at Plum Creek.                                                                  
Talented Actor B'lin playing *lost in the prairie*                                       
Pioneer B'lin and the Little House in the Big Woods.       
Oliver Warb'lin, the Billionaire. My diamond must have got out of shot.                                                 
  Calamity B'lin in the Black Hills. 
Amish B'lin (haha) and his horse.                                            
Wildlife expert B'lin checking up on the buffalo.   
Butch and Manly B'lin is warning you.

And finally.... President B'lin.                     

 
 
 

05:20 pm: Storage!
I felt I simply must share the wonderful present that Father Christmas brought me.  Here you see me with my new pink locker. It locks and everything. You can see that my smart hats are neatly stacked on top, my diamonds are hanging safely on the door, and my clothes are all stored neatly away. Anna still has to sort out the addition of a photo of my stunning self in the door, but apart from that, it's perfect, don't you agree?

04:39 pm: Ho ho ho!
I must apologise for the lack of updates. My staff have not been providing me with suitable technology.

Anyway, to make up for the lack of news, here's a shiny new update for all you fans.

I had a very jolly Christmas. They would all have been very bored without me to entertain them, and to provide jollity.

As you probably guessed, I was helping to coach Mark and Karen in Strictly Come Dancing. He was quite a good learner, even if he does have those odd, deformed, long legs.

I was deluged with fabulous presents for Christmas, as usual. Anna made me a very glamorous coat - I am prepared to overlook the shoddiness of the hemming on the sleeves, as it was her first effort.

Click to enlarge and see me in my full glory:


And the lovely Celia provided me with a sheepskin coat, all ready for the football managing season. The bear that was wearing it was a bit stinky, so luckily it's been freshly laundered for me:

                                                                                   

Now all I have to do is relax and wait for the excitement of New Year's Eve. I'm sure Anna will have planned something lavish and elaborate for me.

09:47 pm: At last!
At last! The waiting world can breathe a collective sigh of relief. The B'lin has finally joined the online world of the bloggers, and the thoughts and brainwaves of your favourite mouse will at last be online for your delight and enjoyment.  I know it was a long and difficult wait for many of you, and I can only apologise for the lengthy delay.  My staff really have been providing me with inferior technical equipment up til now.

My life is, as usual, full of excitement and important work. I may be called out to Lebanon any day to solve the critical situation. Or I may decide to stay round here and help out with some coaching for the England cricket team.  I'm so in demand these days, it's very difficult to know who to help first! Whatever I decide will leave someone disappointed.

In the meantime, so as not to disappoint my fans, here is a glamorous photo of yours truly, taken whilst relaxing on holiday in Barcelona earlier this year.
