Hats off

Y: We are not getting any more ham.
M: I think this Christmas thing is so over.
Y: Silly hats are ok as long as there is enough food in compensation.
M: Mr. Marlin thinks they are really pretty.

Merry Christmas!

Y: Well, we have been celebrating Christmas for some time now.
M: Yes we have, been trying to eat a lot of pork.
Y: There was so much work to do overseeing that thing in the oven.
M: Very hard time, so much potential things to eat. Need a big rest when this is over.

On vacation

M: We have been fairly busy for a few days now.
Y: Yes we have, went on a vacation with auntie Senni for some time.
M: Had very comfortable silky blankets there, thank you very much!
Y: But when we returned home, oh boy. More about that later.

Going once, going twice...

Y: We've been both seeing a doctor in the past week.
M: Mr. Marlin has an insurance, so want to get some value for that money.
Y: So that is why you caught the stomach problem?
M: Yes. But I thought everything is free in the waiting room.
Y: It was not?
M: No, I think I will make a complaint.

Independence Day

M: A very special day, so we are celebrating with some sour milk.
Y: We wish to congratulate Finland for 101 years of independence.
M: Herra Marlin toivottaa erityisen hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!

Sleeping beauties

Y: Well, we've been very active today. I was allowed to train for the first time for weeks!
M: Mr. Marlin has been busy as well, had three long naps during the day.
Y: I think we deserve a good night's sleep.
M; And a good breakfast!

Over the hills

Y: Went to see my doctor the other day, she told me I can go running and training again.
M: No she did not, she said you can go outside and walk as the elderly do, slowly and with caution.
Y: But you ran like a maddog yesterday.
M: Yes I did, saw two squirrels making baby squirrels. I put an immediate end to that stuff!
