Those and the
Tulips
 So there I am, just about made it
upright on my sick bed, when visitors – Those –
launched themselves at me. This is clearly not the house to be with any ailments
or a nervous disposition and forget peace and quiet. After sorting out the
pecking order, all was settled for a while, that is, until I saw Cicci sloping
off plus one of my slippers firmly held in her jaw. A rather loud tussle ensued
where Moth and Cicci battled out how things would end. My slipper came back a
little damp but uninjured. Put out onto the field the vegetable patch fared far
worse. “Just as well my cauliflower wasn’t in yet”. Yes dear.
 Rising, like Lazarus, later in the
afternoon, I was sitting quietly in the conservatory with ‘the at work Moth’
when came the request “would you mind awfully getting some pictures of the girls
with the tulips”. Mmmm. I silently bimbled out into the garden and the very
first shot proved this was going to be a challenge. I’ll call this Playtime.
    Big girl
was a star at sitting, standing and posing.
 The other one of
‘Those’ proved more of a minx. Clearly not responding to someone who was
albeit silently authoritative, the whisper just died in the air. Every time I
went near her she would wait until I got an inch from her scruff then ran,
laughing over her shoulder at me. No help whatsoever from the worker in the
conservatory............
  The pose
became a laughable head down and a call for more
play.
   It took a
while but I got there, sort of.
 The pose was never
going to happen, standing together also failed.
   Getting both of
‘Those’ to sit was just quadrupling the fun.
 Which ended messily.
   Biaga, nose
in the air and smiling this way and that.
 I’ll leave it
there then and crawl back to my cave.
ALL IN ALL A NICE
INTERLUDE..............Mmmmmm |
