Saturday: Faded

Barney was picked up early this morning and is now in London where he will board with the pet transport company until his first flight on Monday.  We’ve seen photos and he looks comfortable, if somewhat confused.  We do hate this bit, as we obviously can’t explain to him what’s going on.

The driver who came to pick up Barney was quite the character.  His name was Caesar Salad (for real).  Apparently he lost a bet with a friend and so changed his name by deed poll for five years.  The five years is up next year.  The bet was that his friend wouldn’t have a tattoo done on the end of his……..appendage…….

Much of the day has been spent packing and sorting.  I’ve got a sense of déjà vu about all this.  

The weather has also taken a turn for the autumnal, or so it feels.
