On your marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On your marks, get set\u2026. Go!!!!! Mum has given in to the urge to start putting up the rest of the Christmas decorations. She wasn\u2019t supposed to start the next stage until tomorrow but she started yesterday. I tried to hold her back but she said that it was getting dark early and therefore must be nearly Christmas. I\u2019m sorry, I did try to hold her back. The lights still aren\u2019t going on until next week, she\u2019s promised that. The jumpers will start tomorrow but she needn\u2019t think I\u2019m planning to put mine on just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow\u2019s fault<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Mum it\u2019s all Shadow\u2019s fault. The radio station that Shadow is listening to has started playing Christmas music and Mum found herself singing along. This is what happens when they play golden oldies. Play anything from our generation and she wouldn\u2019t have a clue. Play something from thirty or forty years ago and she knows all the words. Shadow did threaten to change it to another channel. The last time that happened Shadow got into real trouble. She ended up listening to Mum\u2019s audio book for a few hours and then Mum couldn\u2019t find her place. Shadow said it was an accident but none of us believed her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Striking a bargain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mum has been out to harvest most of the carrots. I said it wasn\u2019t fair and tried to promise not to eat the ones she wanted. Mum said that given the last one she had for tea already had claw and teeth marks on she didn\u2019t trust my promise. Anyway, she has said she will let me have the very small ones that she doesn\u2019t plan to cook on condition that I only have them when she puts them at ground level. Of course I\u2019ve said yes, but she just doesn\u2019t learn. Once her back is turned I shall be checking for any she\u2019s missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
