Our House

Not really. Apparently it’s the Deer House. Not that we saw any but that’s what it said on the map. Probably a good job we didn’t see any as Albi has had enough creature run-ins today - firstly doing her best to overcome her fears by sort of making friends with a Newfoundland she mainly likes to bark at. She did well to put on a brave face but I’m not convinced she won’t bark next time we see him. Secondly her horrific pleasure at capturing and playing with a tiny little mouse in the garden. By the time we realised what she had done it was way too late for the poor thing...I’m trying hard to erase the image of the tail hanging out of her mouth...my method is by telling everyone in a sort of hope of diluting it. The kids didn’t agree with that but I trust that you will.

Not sure there has been anything else to come close to topping that level of excitement.

There’s a lot of pressure on my belated Book Club Christmas dinner this evening.
