Dad is locked in the tower. Ok, so not literally. We don\u2019t have a tower and he isn\u2019t locked in, but he is at least in the house and he\u2019s in a separate room. Now we just have to count down the days until he\u2019s allowed out. He has to do the second of two tests for Covid_19 on his eighth day. As long as that comes back negative then we have a party. When I say party, it will only be Shadow me and Ari, Mum and Dad \u2013 but quite honestly these days that counts as a party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had a couple of lovely days of sunshine and Mum thought coffee in the garden might work. Of course, now Dad is home it has stopped snowing in Switzerland and the sun is out there, but we are forecast for rain. Something went wrong with that piece of planning! I did make the most of the sunshine with Mum while we had it, but I was rather hoping it would carry on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sign of the dove of peace is not so realistic it seems. We have three doves and two of them have been fighting. Mum presumes they are fighting over the third one. When they came down for breakfast yesterday, two of them had feathers askew and didn\u2019t look their best. They\u2019d tidied themselves up later and Mum gave them a bit of a pep talk to remind them of the important role of doves as peace ambassadors. They looked chastened, but I don\u2019t suppose it will last. You know what boys can be like when it\u2019s mating time of year! I don\u2019t think one of Mum\u2019s little talks is going to make a whole lot of difference to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
