We have been so totally caught. Mum agreed to spend as much time outside yesterday afternoon as she could. We thought we\u2019d given her the slip. She was busy in the signal box watering the plants. Of course, the signal box (aka greenhouse) has a lot of glass making it possible to see what\u2019s going on. What was going on was that Aristotle and I were happily eating apples. We\u2019ve given up fighting over them for the time being and have called a truce. To be quite honest, there are enough to go around. It\u2019s going to take us quite a while to work our way through them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum\u2019s to do list says she needs to measure up for curtain poles this weekend. To be fair, it has said that for a few weeks but I think she might be hoping to get around to it now. She has been waiting until the pile of light fittings has reduced before buying anything else to have lying around. If things go to plan the electrician is coming on Monday. She does want to do some outside jobs too, so it\u2019s not going to be a completely hopeless weekend. If all I had got to look forward to was holding a tape measure then it wouldn\u2019t be much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow has no shame. Yesterday there was a man working here. He was showing Mum how something worked and whilst they were talking Shadow simply lay on the floor next to Mum farting very loudly, repeatedly! Oh, I know she\u2019s had a bit of a bad tummy, but there are limits to acceptable behaviour, even for a dog. She did at least behave reasonably well at her vet visit. I went along for the ride to keep her company and reassure her. The vet said she\u2019s doing fine, but was great news \u2013 just a bit farty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
