A very happy Easter to you all. I hope those of you in the UK have remembered to change you clocks and I hope you like your new ones!<\/p>\n
I can now reveal that the jester hats and the hobby horses were because the theme for the fancy dress was \u2018things that make you laugh\u2019 and my Master and Mistress, currently known as Alfie and Megan, have gone as the television programme \u2018Only Fools and Horses\u2019. I think the \u2018fools\u2019 element is perhaps the more accurate! They did win the quiz on the first night, at least their table did but they did conclude that there were a couple of teams who take part on our village pub quizzes that they thought would have beaten them quite easily. I don\u2019t think they are quite as clear as the reasons people around them are being murdered, but I am pleased to say that I spoke to both of them and they are both still very much alive! It all wraps up later today and they start their journey home, via both my sets of human grandparents.<\/p>\n
In the meantime I\u2019m arranging a small Easter Egg hunt for Aristotle, except I\u2019m doing it without the eggs and using dog treats instead. The idea, as he\u2019s still a youngster, was to hide them around the garden for him to find and it would have worked well if Shadow hadn\u2019t been watching me and hovered them all up before Aristotle had the chance. It was supposed to be a surprise for when he got up, but I\u2019m going to have to go round and do it all again with Shadow out of the way. It had been hard enough to remind myself not to eat them as I went round hiding them so to have to do it twice is nothing short of torture.<\/p>\n
