No Horatio, you are NOT allowed to declare your undying love to my guest! Categorically no. Just get on pepper spray watch and stop being a silly billy!
Weeerrrllll girls I have successfully completed (almost) a week without my Emily! It’s been hard going I can tell you. I have written her the long list of things that have disappeared in the last week that I can’t find. It’s under the heading ‘Missing in Action’.
Teddy will be glad to see her back because he will only eat his Wolfworthy biscuits from her and barely anything at all from me. For the first time in 2 months he managed to jump up on the sofa and sit on my knee like he always used to last night! I was besides myself with joy when he managed it! It made me soooo happy.
I have done window watch myself this week. It’s where we go armed to the hilt with anti-cobwebbing tackle to check the windows in the house. This involves hand hoovering the dead flies too. My house is a nightmare for wild-life. It’s staggering what goes on in my windows. Attenborough should come and do a programme on it.
My son says he’s arranging for some minor decorating works to be done on the outside at the back next week and that he’s arranging a weed pulling exercise. I tried something new this year. I let my garden go wild with the wild pink geraniums I normally pull out and the celandines. I must say I rather like it. I will take a photo to show you later. The borders look very full. I just haven’t had the puff to do them this year but it’s been an interesting experiment. The bindweed is awful but so what…Worse things to worry about. It doesn’t have to be perfect - as my friend Peggy keeps telling me!! I have secretly revelled in the fact I have just let the weeds to grow this year. It’s a new one for me.
What news of Himself dear Havisham? Did your sister return and divest you of all her responsibility? Was she prostrate on the floor with bounteous gifts of gratitude to you? How goes it in Chicago? What have you cooked lately? I like to know these things. I have been eating toast and fresh fruit all arranged on a baby plate
with pictures of Old Mother Hubbard. It’s a left-over from my childhood and it shows OMH showing the dog her bare cupboard. I loved dogs even then…Sending hugs to dear Gem xx.
Hoping yesterday passed with no incident whatsoever @Miscanthus ! Not even one solitary blip! Nothing! Nada! Niet! Rien!
Come in @happyforest - your time is up - we need reports and news! We need them now if not sooner please! Love to Wilbur. X

Wildflowers as ground over! Now there’s an idea…

- that’s a hard pass! I will miss my single girl life. I’ve binge watched Netflix, read two books, cooked easy-peasy snack type bitties... so laid back..the one thing I haven’t bothered with is watching Elsie vlogs - don’t want to spoil my vibe!
I did one third and that’s enough ladies
Tch - you flick head
