We all spent a lot of time outside yesterday trying to help mum cutting the grass. When I say \u2018helped\u2019 we were mainly offering encouragement from the sidelines. I don\u2019t think it was altogether appreciated. At the moment we are still waiting for the big mower to be delivered and so Mum is having to use the little mower and there is a lot of grass to cut with it. She charged the battery twice but then was worn out so says she\u2019ll do some more today if it stays dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor Shadow has asked if she can go inside instead of being out with us quite so long. She\u2019s finding it hard. She says she\u2019d like to sit just inside the back door so that she can come in and out when she feels like it. Mum says that as long as it\u2019s not too cold then she\u2019ll try to sort it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aristotle seems to have accepted that he can\u2019t be top dog. He\u2019s taken it pretty well, and things have settled down a bit again. On the plus side it means I am now back to my old position of sleeping on the bed with Mum. At least some good came out of it all. He has also been feeling better again. We\u2019re all hoping that whatever happened the other day doesn\u2019t happen again \u2013 Ari most of all. He said it really took it out of him. He\u2019s booked in for his vaccinations in a couple of weeks so will ask the vet about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum says that at last count they\u2019ve only got another 75 boxes to go. I know that sounds a lot but it was an awful lot more than that. We finished organising the greenhouse yesterday, so there are no boxes in there at all. Mum says she might just sit out there and pretend it\u2019s all finished, but I don\u2019t think she means it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
