Aristotle here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well it\u2019s Aristotle here. Do you remember the days when life was more normal and Wilma used to let me write the diary sometimes? I complained to Mum that I was feeling a bit pushed out and she was very sympathetic. Anyway, she did explain as gently as she could, that I had to remember that while I\u2019ve been resting my leg not only was I technically off work sick, but I couldn\u2019t get up the stairs to the office to use the computer. Anyway, I\u2019m still not doing stairs, so Mum agreed to bring the computer to me as I\u2019m much better now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gardening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I spent some of the afternoon outside in the garden. It was so nice to feel that life is beginning to get back to normal. Actually it was far better than that, as Dad was in the garden too and it\u2019s the first chance I\u2019ve had to spend time with him for a while. He gives the very best bottom scratches. That\u2019s something Mum has never been so good at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big disappointment in the whole process was that I only got to join them outside after they had finished their cream tea. Now, forgive me for pointing this out, but I like clotted cream as much as the next dog, so where was mine? It isn\u2019t as though Mum buys the scones with things in them that are bad for us dogs \u2013 just the plain scones. They would be perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking of food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking of food, there was a bit of an incident earlier in the week involving Shadow. She has been keeping Dad company for much of the time in his quarantine. Anyway, he\u2019d gone for a shower and came out to find Shadow had eaten the banana skin he\u2019d left on the side. Mum looked up if there were any risk and apparently they can cause a bit of a blockage. She rang the vet but they said not to worry. So far all seems to be well and no ill effects appear to have been suffered. Mum has asked if she\u2019d mind not doing things like that in future as she worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a good week. I\u2019m guessing Wilma won\u2019t let me near the computer again for a few days, so be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
