One day I might write something about Oracle but, in the meantime, Sunday was a special day for The Rabbit. As I think I’ve mentioned before, he has a fierce ambition to become a famous rock drummer one day. He’s been pestering us for a drum kit for months and we do the Daily Record crossword every Saturday. Not because it’s interesting but because we can (and because the prize is \ufffd500). We promised him an electronic drum kit if we won the prize.<\/p>\n

He’s also taken to wearing his cape again. As well as being quite the glam rock fan, he enjoys progressive rock, a little jazz rock and the *mighty* ELO. In fact, if you look very carefully, he has ‘ELO ROCK’ on one of his tom-toms and ‘RABBIT’ on the other.<\/p>\n

It warms my heart to see a happy rabbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
