I don\u2019t think they fully understand the implications of going their separate ways, but it has to happen. Friday will see the first one fly the nest, but I\u2019ll bring all that to you as it happens.<\/p>\n<p>My Mistress has had the result of her keyboard exam and to her delight and amazement has gained a distinction. She is so proud of the piece of paper with the detail on it that she\u2019s thinking of framing it. It just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks! On a less happy front I\u2019m sulking with her as she has decided to sell my car. I take her point that it just sits in the garage most of the time, but I do still think of it as mine. She asked whether it would help if I took her to the garage to help choose the replacement. I just shrugged. It won\u2019t be the same. I know she wants something more practical for all of us, but that isn\u2019t the point. I like it when it is just her and me.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5530\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5530\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Annette-puppies-Aristotle-and-Alfie-003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5530\" title=\"Annette, puppies, Aristotle and Alfie 003\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Annette-puppies-Aristotle-and-Alfie-003-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5530\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andy and Annette<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Annette was amazing last night.
