You may have heard that we have a general election looming here in the UK.

Our politicians are all polishing off their rosettes and taking to the streets once again, pretending that they care about the rest of us.

Unfortunately, this has piqued the interest of a certain group of little plastic people, who have decided to hold their own election because they've decided we need a head of the household - a Prime Mini-ster if you like.

Funny, there was me thinking I was head of the household.  Alas, apparently not ... I'm clearly not doing a good enough job!

So, our candidates are canvassing your votes below, so you'd better jump to it and place your votes in the comments section ... then I can see what gobby little herbert is going to be running my life for the foreseeable future!  :P

Our countdown continued, only four days to go now, and mini Sheldon has something to say ... actually, he has a lot to say!




( Poor Sheldon )

This weekend , it's the turn of my minis to bring you a little festive musical mayhem.
We bring you ... 'Hark as Dizzo's Mini's sing' - Lyrics by the incomparable jj1564




( Hark ... )

Well, today was the day of the great mini-meet-up.  Along with my lovely co-mods jj1564 and milly_gal we hosted (at JJ's home) a gathering of upwards of 40 of the little herberts.  Such was the excitement and anticipation of the day, we even managed to talk Sheldon into coming along.  Although I think he found the standard of conversation a little lacking (I mean, there's only so long you can discuss the Higgs Boson and its place in the standard model of particle physics, surely), so he wandered off to find some suitably high-brow reading material.






( And there's more ... )

I think there may be some scheming going on ...






( Dizzo puts the minis firmly in their place. )

Here we are, and it's day four of the MiniLympics ...



So far, we've had the running race and the high jump, so today's event is all about throwing ... today's event is the Hammer.

As it's summer here in the UK (not that you'd know it) the minis decided to hold that most summery of celebrations for our community's birthday - a birthday picnic in the garden.








( A birthday picnic. )

This was the scene after I broke the news that I couldn't take all the minis to Jus In Bello.




I'm travelling hand luggage only, and I will need some room in my bag for, you know, sundries like shoes and clothes and toothpaste!

Mini and Teeny Weeny Team Free Will will be accompanying me to Roma to represent the minis.

To make up for their disappointment, Mr Dizzo has promised that the remaining minis will have an adventure while I'm away ...

I shudder to think!

You may recall, I acquired someone new during my recent jaunt to Birmingham for Asylum 16.  It needs to be pointed out that this was courtesy of my lovely edina_clouds128 who bought him as a surprise while I wasn't looking!!!

So, without further ado ...

Meet Steve!
