Hellooooooooooooooooooooo! And welcome to the 155th EVER newsletter from rathergood!
It's winter now. I have a cold. But look, it's not all bad! LOOK! LOOK AT THIS LOVELY SONG!
http://www.rathergood.com/coldYou see? DO YOU SEE?
And look, I've made a sneezing kitten T-shirt, which is of course this winter's MUST HAVE fashion accessory:

http://upthear.se/hammachineHey do you want to see what I look like on a normal day in the office? This is how I roll, biyaatches:
http://flic.kr/p/aCWMRzOh hey, look I saw the best thing ever ion the internets! It's a guy doing a real life Tiny Chainsaw dance and I love it!
http://youtu.be/YDi4X70Ky5sI think that's about it for today, except to tell you that I love you. I love you SO HARD! I'd do ANYTHING for you!
I'd definitely do anything for love. I had a chat with Meatloaf about how he'd do anything for love but he won't do THAT. I was all like, hey, I'd totally do THAT for love. Infact, you know what, I'd do THAT anyway, don't really need to worry about the love bit. Actually you know what, I'll pay to do THAT. Hey how would you feel about doing THAT to me? For love? Or just for money, I'm fine with either.
I asked Meatloaf but he said no.
Mwah mwah superhugs!
Yours sincerely
