Dull Days – Monday 10th June 2024

Dull days

We’re having so many dull days at the moment. I thought that summer was supposed to be sunny, but looking at Mum’s phone weather app there is no sun forecast in the next ten days. That just can’t be right. I know I always prefer to lie in the shade, but it’s good to be able to see where the shade would be. Mum says she doesn’t like gardening so much when the weather is so dull.

It didn’t actually stop us yesterday. Mum had moved to work on an area of the garden that is quite honestly only one step away from being a jungle. I don’t think there are any wild animals we don’t know about living in the garden, but it is quite possible that there are.

Dad was right

Dad was right about Mum’s saw. It is not big enough to cut the wood for the door stops. Mum needs to talk very nicely to the builders to see if they can cut 6 pieces of wood for her of about 20cms in length each. If we get that far then it will be a start. Mum will still have to sand them and then coat them before they’ll do the job, but it will be a step in the right direction. To be honest, I think Mum is already wavering and thinking of buying them.

Ringing the hospital

I’ve asked Mum to ring the hospital for me today. I want her to ask what I need to pack to take in with me. I’m hoping it will be ok for me to take one or two of my own things so I don’t feel quite so stressed to be away from Mum and home. It’s not like going to kennels where I can at least play with other dogs. I’d like to take my own food for a start, but I’d like my pillow too if that’s ok. It does have my name on it, so it’s not as though they could mistake it for anyone else’s pillow.

Love

Wilma
