Mum bought presents for Aristotle yesterday. To be fair there was something for me, but that went a bit wrong. For Aristotle there were some more herb plants to add to his garden. He was very happy to add tarragon and two types of thyme. Mum helped him move the sorrel that had disappeared under the borage as well. For me there was a pretty flowering plant to sniff. It had four flowers on it when she bought it. Unfortunately it fell over on the way home in the car and there were no flowers on it when it arrived. Dad says it will grow some more, but as gifts go it did look a little forlorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the bright side I do at least get to eat. Mum has broken the news to Ari that for his scan tomorrow he can\u2019t eat before he goes. Usually that\u2019s not too bad as it\u2019s in a morning and he\u2019d only miss breakfast. His scan isn\u2019t until lunchtime, so he won\u2019t get breakfast or lunch until after it\u2019s all over. I don\u2019t want to say too much as Mum is telling me I need to go back on my diet as I\u2019m gaining weight again. It\u2019s all the foraging I do. I know that, but I can\u2019t help myself. Because there are so many foraging opportunities in the garden, Ari will be going out on a lead tomorrow morning so he can\u2019t make up for missing his meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not just me that\u2019s growing. You should see how everything in the garden is developing after having some rain. To be honest it\u2019s all going a bit wild. I feel right at home, but Mum and Dad are finding it frustrating trying to keep up. No sooner has the grass been cut than it needs to be cut again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
