Actually I don\u2019t know exactly how many days it\u2019s been since the seeds were planted but yesterday the fennel had poked their heads through, so that\u2019s only the parsnips and carrots that haven\u2019t yet surfaced. On a less positive note Aristotle ate one of the new blueberry bushes. My Mistress thinks she caught the plant in time to save it and has put netting and willow sticks all wound it, but there aren\u2019t going to be any berries on that particular bush this year and my Mistress is not best pleased. Ari said the branches smelt and tasted good and didn\u2019t seem to be showing a great deal of remorse. I had a sniff and could see his point but it was made abundantly clear to me that if I joined in the act of vandalism there was going to be trouble. Faced with that I chose the safe option and came inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Megan is much better, thank goodness. She\u2019s eating again and back to being her old self. She\u2019s getting lots of cuddles and says she\u2019s fine, but my Mistress is really missing her and finding it hard to be apart. On my Mistress\u2019s new blog, she wrote about me yesterday and how my diary began. You can find it here www.rjkind.com<\/a> The blog is the \u2018Me and my writing\u2019 page. I thought with her new novel out she might forget all the help I\u2019ve given her with her writing over the years, but thankfully it seems not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve got my Mistress\u2019s best friend here this weekend so we\u2019re getting lots of fun and spending less time working, which has to be a good thing. My Mistress is also trying to get back to playing the keyboard. She can only play for a few minutes at a time or her fingers start really aching, but it\u2019s a start and maybe she\u2019ll get back to where she was, although it\u2019s going to be a slow process. The physio thinks it will be another 3 months before all the swelling in her hand has gone down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK –https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find short stories to read at www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
