We love the sunshine. It makes everything seem so much better. It was hard having to say goodbye to Dad yesterday, but the afternoon outside in the garden certainly cheered us all up a bit. After I\u2019d had a good run around and barked at everything, I sat guarding the parsnips while Mum did some work. To be honest I felt tired just watching her. You may remember that the shed which is now the ticket office used to be the piggery. There were two holes in the side of it for the pigs to go in and out. Mum decided that yesterday was the day to sort out the holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It means her sawing and hammering and doing lots of other things that oddly make her happy. She didn\u2019t even hit her fingers with the hammer, which is pretty good for her. Although, she did trap one finger in the step ladder when she closed it up after repairing the guttering on the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately there\u2019s rain forecast most of this week, so I guess it\u2019s back to helping with the decorating. Ari has asked if he can go when Mum takes Granny to visit Grandpa in hospital. We all think that\u2019s a good idea as he starts howling when he\u2019s expecting his tea and Mum isn\u2019t back yet. It\u2019s getting pretty annoying if I\u2019m honest. He\u2019ll have to sit in the car the whole time, but he\u2019s cool with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve got any exciting plans really. I\u2019ll be counting off the days until Dad comes home again. I\u2019ve been all around the house several times to check in case he\u2019s hiding somewhere, but he really isn\u2019t. I wish he didn\u2019t go away. Shadow\u2019s pretty down about it really too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
