The Cardiff devils raised the banners for the league and challenge cup tonight. This is a hockey ritual but there’s something of the spinal tap in watching them slowly ascend

Berlin mug
Got my customary souvenir from the Ritter Sport shop in Berlin

Bruno has been in kennels for over a week. He’s been doing well in there, he likes the people and enjoys going in, but it was good to have him back. His head tilt is still evident but his walking is better.
Ritter Sport
I love a Ritter Sport so was delighted to hear of a Ritter Sport shop in Berlin. You can make your own bars, and choose from all the flavours you never knew you wanted.
