We seem to be under surveillance from Red Necked Grouse. There was one on our drive waiting as Aristotle got in the car to go for a walk and then when he and our Mistress got to the airfield there was one waiting for them to park. I don\u2019t know how they are communicating, but when they got back surveillance was passed back to the local ones. If this continues I think we should be worried. It\u2019s not that we\u2019ve got anything to hide, well nothing I can really think of, but there must be a reason they\u2019re monitoring our activities. Of course it may just be Aristotle and there\u2019s no knowing what he\u2019s been up to. For all we know he might be a fully trained spy working for foreign intelligence. He wouldn\u2019t be able to tell us if he were and you know, I think he\u2019d probably be very good at it. He could certainly charm secrets out of people and would be very devious if he needed to be. Maybe there is a whole underworld going on around me that I don\u2019t know about. It\u2019s a worrying thought that we might be harbouring a foreign spy, but I guess you can never be too sure. I think I might have a word with our Mistress and suggest she restricts his access to the settee in the lounge and the bed upstairs just to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilma was thrilled to have a phone call from her birth mum the other evening. Aristotle and Shadow were in the midst of a full blown argument when the phone rang, but they put their differences aside so that Wilma could hear. She was very happy to hear from them and assured them she was well and that her teeth weren\u2019t causing her any problem. She told me she didn\u2019t want to sound too positive in case it stopped her bone supply!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
