I never thought you\u2019d hear me say this, but I\u2019m missing going swimming. Ari has gone two weeks running now to try to strengthen his legs and as I\u2019m doing rather better since my new tablets our Mistress thought I wouldn\u2019t mind. Well I do. I do miss the fact that the water makes my coat all lovely and soft but most of all I miss the lovely lady that helps me in the pool. I really like her and she gives me a cuddle when I have a rest and generally makes me feel good. I like that our Mistress and Wilma are sitting and watching me. It makes me feel special. I even quite like the actual swimming. I know I\u2019ll get to go again soon, but I\u2019m also worrying a little bit that I might forget how to do it and the water might start to seem scary again. I know Ari needs it at the moment, but I hope I can go again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I even found myself asking our Mistress how her plan to buy a paddling pool for Wilma was coming on. All she would say was that it won\u2019t be Wilma\u2019s birthday until July and I needed to wait and see. Actually she might have said something about my not being able to keep secrets and if she told me then Wilma would get to find out about it, but I really can\u2019t think where she gets that idea from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re growing potatoes for the first time this year and I\u2019m sure that our Mistress got the seeds mixed up with triffids. Our Mistress explained that they are from \u2018seed potatoes\u2019 rather than seeds, but however they started they are starting to take over. I don\u2019t know how long it takes for them to produce potatoes, and come to that neither does our Mistress, but I hope they get harvested before the plants move into the house and take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
