Today is going to be a paws up sort of a day. Mum is on track with the packing, so as today\u2019s planned area is an easy one, I said she could have a rest and maybe we could go for a nice walk. We can\u2019t sit on the settee as it\u2019s surrounded by boxes, so I guess it will have to be snuggled up in bed time if we want to be comfortable. My first problem is convincing Mum that she actually needs to stop. She says she\u2019ll stop when all the work is finished and that won\u2019t be for a few days yet. I really don\u2019t know how to convince her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course the bed plan might work better than the walk idea. We\u2019ve got rain forecast again for the next few days. I don\u2019t think Mum has packed her waterproofs so I guess we might still be all right. Ari won\u2019t want to go out, but I might persuade Shadow to come with us. She\u2019s not keen on getting wet, but she\u2019s less keen on being left out, it just means we won’t be able to go as far if she comes too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of her friends gave her a farewell present yesterday. I\u2019ve not often seen her speechless, but she was. In our garden we have a very special bird table. It is made from the base of a fir tree that died and the top is a large slice of tree trunk. Mum loves it, but sadly can\u2019t take it with us as it is still attached to the ground. Mum\u2019s friend has made her one to take with us. She is so excited about it and already talking to Dad about where exactly in the new garden it can go. I think the birds will be very happy with it too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
