Gordon got legless!!!!!

28 July 2012 - I'm spending a few days house and dog sitting in Sydney for my old friend from a million years ago, Marion. Her Mother has recently passed away and Marion is off toWalcha to celebrate what would have been her Mother's 99th birthday. Thinking of you Marion and  Mrs S. xx

Gordon McGnome and I watched the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics...oohing and aahing at all the sights . Loved it. Gordon - being the hard headed little man he is - insisted on going out on the front lawn and showing off his prowess at the pole vault. It was obvious his training failed to cover the fact that one needs to let go of the pole at a critical point in the jump. It was also obvious that Gordon had forgotten that he's at least 100 years old and recently recovered from hip replacement surgery.

I called a Gnome Removalist who rushed Gordon to the Nepean Hospital for Vertically Challenged Gnomes and he is now out of surgery and in traction.

Only time will tell if a full recovery will be made.
