Supervisory role

The plan for today was to get the downstairs carpet cleaned where the evidence of Bailey's first summer has been making its presence felt again. I haven't been able to stand the rigmarole of getting new carpet sorted this holiday - maybe October half term. Furniture shifted with the help of the favourite - an added bonus for Bailey - and then I got on with it without too much interference from Bailey. He chose to sun himself instead. 

Once it was done, we were still housebound whilst I waited on a delivery  of relatively random items - books for my holidays, pens and a notebook for work stuff and a carbon monoxide alarm (as recommended by the plumber on Monday). It arrived finally and the carpet cleaner was returned before Bailey got a walk. Another two members of his fan club were inducted when they stopped to ask for directions - he is utterly shameless when it comes to making new friends. 

And tonight I have finished watching the series of Top of the Lake and Bailey has slept.
