Andrew has admitted stealing the £3000 for the reports but he is having a lovely time drinking cocktails on the beach so i think its only fair we forgive him. I didn't win the Bingo last night so the lucky gull foot didn't work but i am going back tonight and they are letting me bring my lucky seagull Ross. It should be a good night as Ross doesn't get out that much. I am having to use more NIBA funds for the taxi and entrance money and although the debts of the NIBA continue to soar one lucky win will get us back in the black.


So with Andrew away i can slip in yet another Laughing Gull picture, this is great! He is away for nineteen more days so unless someone comes up with new bird pics, its a Laughing Gull a day!
