Hi there guys! Solomon here… Hope you’re having a swell holiday… Kieran’s been feeding me well. Just the right amount and is not falling for my ‘please give me more food’ charm. He’s giving me lots of hugs but I think he needs a shower as the last one was a bit smelly. Even more smelly then my bottom. Hope your enjoying the sun and the rest of your holiday and I’ll see you on Sunday! Solomon xxxx
