Aristotle and I have been having one or two arguments. Mum really isn\u2019t impressed. To be honest I think we\u2019re all up to our tolerance level of strange things happening. Moving house has caught up with all of us. We are affected by events but we\u2019re affected by Mum\u2019s stress too. We\u2019ve had so many strange people coming to the house and so many deliveries. It\u2019s just reached the point where we all need a bit of a break from it. Mum has said there\u2019s not a lot she can do immediately, but when Dad goes to Switzerland next she has promised we\u2019re going to have eight days of holiday. There will be no deliveries, no workmen, no meetings for Mum, nothing. She is going to lock the front door and shut the world out for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She says the one exception to that is what Grandpa needs. He\u2019s had to have an operation for a broken hip and although he\u2019s getting better she doesn\u2019t know if he will be home by then or not. Anyway, she says that apart from that we can all start to think about how we want to spend the time. Ari has already put his paw up for days snuggled up in bed. I said I\u2019d like lots of time doing things outdoors. I\u2019m sure we can manage some of both. I think it will do all of us good to unwind a little bit. Of course, it will be a shame that Dad won\u2019t be part of it, but I can understand why Mum wants as few people to look after as possible for that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today is fences day. The fences between us and the sheep fields will be higher by the end of the day and Mum needn\u2019t worry that there\u2019s any risk of me going visiting. I\u2019ve shown no real interest, not in the sheep at least. I\u2019m more interested in the foxes and squirrels if we\u2019re being honest, but they are sometimes in the same field as the sheep so I understand the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
