There\u2019s not enough floor in Mum\u2019s office for all of us to be comfortable and for her to move about. She was trying to organise the shelf space yesterday and we all lay down as close to her as possible. She had to be very careful that she didn\u2019t drop anything on us. She\u2019s not known for being poised and light of foot either, so we were taking huge risks with where we were. Mum found it difficult, but we were all ok about it, which was the important thing. She sorted one of the five bookcases, but for reasons that only a human would understand she wants to put all the books in alphabetical order by author. It\u2019s actually huge fun as she gets so fed up when she finds one she missed and has to rearrange a whole shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow is already counting down the days until Dad comes back. She misses him dreadfully when he\u2019s not here. Mum has promised to give her extra love and attention, but Shadow says it just isn\u2019t the same. Even Aristotle is saying he\u2019s going to really miss Dad. He\u2019s been more take it or leave it until now, but suddenly he\u2019s become a bit of a daddy\u2019s boy. He has a vet visit today, Ari not Dad. It\u2019s his annual vaccination time. He\u2019s going to ask the vet about the funny turn he had a couple of weeks ago too. He says on the whole he\u2019s felt all right since, so he\u2019s not too worried, but just wants to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life got a whole lot easier yesterday on the apple front. Dad collected a load of apples up ready to freeze but ran out of time to do it. He\u2019s left them in the barrow by the back door. It means we don\u2019t have to go searching for the best ones, we can just help ourselves on the way out. I don\u2019t think that was his intention, but it works for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
