We\u2019re getting ready for Dad coming home tomorrow. There\u2019s just one small problem. Well, if I\u2019m being strictly honest there are probably quite a lot of small problems \u2013 or at least dozens. Mum is still fighting the moth invasion in the rooms he uses to quarantine from Mum when he first arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every time Mum goes up there to vacuum (twice a day), Shadow gets excited and follows her, just in case Dad has arrived without her realising. Mum keeps reassuring her that she will be the first to know when he\u2019s here, but Shadow is such a determined little dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum is becoming addicted to the weather app on her phone so we can work out dodging the showers. She is prioritising cutting the grass and playing ball with me. I\u2019m very happy about the second of those. If there is any more dry time then she can get on with other garden jobs with Aristotle. He\u2019s a bit miffed as he thinks that\u2019s more important than my game of ball, but I think he\u2019s just a bit jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s fair to say I\u2019ve got less paint on my coat at the moment than Mum has on her jumper. Unless it comes out in the wash, I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll be wearing that one again in public. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad if it was all one colour, but it isn\u2019t. Most of the extra on her jumper is a sort of plum colour. Now however we\u2019re adding a mustard yellow and even to me as a dog, they are not colours that go well together. You will be pleased to know they are in different rooms. Sadly, it doesn\u2019t mean she\u2019s finished the last room, but I guess you can\u2019t have everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
