Treats for all

Annemique arrived at the usual time, even though it was a dreich day. She is so good. Mind you, the day brightened up, and anyway, Archie loves the Hermitage in rain or shine. And he had a bonus meeting with Pretzel in the Links this evening on the way home.

With Archie gone, we had yet another trip to Dobbies today. Yes, the slippers that I bought the other day do not fit. Amazingly enough, I do this every single time with footwear! I tried to ignore it for a few days, and convince myself that it was all right. But today I requested to be taken back to the shop.

The shop assistant, after first asking for the box (didn't have it) and the proper docket (didn't have it) agreed to just swap for the next size. Bingo! I was well pleased.

Archie had a bath when he came home, then he wore his tartan coat (he wasn't too pleased) to walk down the road to Rufus's house, as it was very chilly! Christine had made lovely nibbles, and G&Ts were sipped. Here Archie is admiring some of the nibbles, though he'd already had his treat. In fact, he rushes past Christine as she welcomes us at the door, and charges into the kitchen to check the treat cupboard. How rude.
