I'm so sorry having read the news on Lucy's blog. Whether it was expected or not it must still hurt. Bailey had such a great life though, she'll have loved her time with you.
Very much puts Sima's 60 hour disappearance into perspective.
Speaking of whom, I'm intrigued as to whether our dog pound will contain the Jack Russell on arrival home tonight. During their visit Val seems to have taken a shine to our four legged midget and I am worried she'll be dognapped and - as I write - snoozing in the back seat of Mikes Alfa Romeo as they roll Lincolnwards.
Yes, Mike and Val are on their way home today, likely looking forward to a good nights sleep. Although reasonably sufficient for it's purpose, our spare bed is oddly angled and as such the nursery rhyme "And they all rolled over and one fell out" is possibly rather apt.
I do hope it didn't cause them too much discomfort. I didn't hear any complaining but that was possibly more due to politeness! Most likely Luca was a greater cause of consternation as he becomes ever more vocal in the mornings. "I've had a nice sleep" and "I wet my bed" are words commonly heard from his surprisingly effective vocal chords early every morning.
He's also becoming more vocal at night too, and is presently suffering a huge increase in nightmares. Indeed last night, in response to howls from his room, I went up and cradled him in my arms. "The dinosaurs" he sobbed "the dinosaurs are coming to get me".
I think Luca may miss his Nana and Grandad. You forget how long it can be between visits so it's been fun seeing him bond again with them. We'll try to make sure he gets to bed sharp tonight (after picking him up from nursery) so he doesn't have the chance to notice their absence too greatly.
I think the Kintore Arms will miss the trade provided by Mike and myself too....
This week will be a case of returning to a familiar routine, with a plethora of jobs to be done around the house (yay) and an even greater number of horror DVD's to be watched. Zombie slaughters here we come!
Halloween's coming up this Saturday, so if you have any suggestions for an outfit for Luca to angrily reject and then tantrum about then please keep it to yourself.
**Useless fact of the day - If you see a spider on Halloween then it is rumoured that it could be the spirit of a dead loved one come to watch over you**
