Well, we've had a very busy time. First of all the Monkey disappeared (Nora seemed more concerned that her new sun glasses had disappeared at the same time). He had apparently been sunning it up on holiday, as you can see.
Then the banks had another holiday, so we had to put our money under the mattress again. There was quite a lot of it this time because Riley, it turns out, has become quite rich from all his chat-show-hosting.
Then, after the banks finished their holiday, the Monkey returned (he'd apparently been practising for a trip he's going on soon to Spain). Nora was so pleased to see the Monkey return with her glasses of sunshine, that she insisted on wearing them all the time, even in the dark. Unfortunately, one evening last week, she had a bit of an accident (horsing around).
As you can see from one of the videos in the house (that Riley swears he did not put up as a hidden camera), she walked into the stone fire place! Ouch!
Well, we had to rush her straight to the fluffy-hospital! But we had to wait when we got there because a horse feeling a bit horse.
Don't worry, he's OK now. When we asked him what happened he said it was like nuts and bolts. He said his rider was nuts, so he bolted! Oh dear!
Nora is OK too, although she has a couple of black eyes (you can't really tell, though, as she already had black eyes) and she did have night mares for a while (about horses). Anyway, she's been getting a lot of sympathy and insists that strawberries are good to help heal bruises.
Not sure about that. Anyway. All is calm now. No more hospital visits, bolting horses or mattress capers.
All this has distracted me from my detective work, which I shall return to. Had better go now, as I have a meeting with Sniff of the Yard to discuss an recent incident of a horse that bolted. Apparently, someone tried to lead him to water and make him drink. This may turn into a case where my detective skills are needed... we'll see.
Lewis x
we've been vegging out in the sun today in a grass chair (no decking here) as you can see. some vegetables were also vegging out (i think they had escaped from the composter). after my accident, i have decided not to wear my glasses of sunshine for a while, so i just have to keep my eyes closed tight shut. lewis was pretending to be intellectual again by reading a paper of news. this was actually lots of pieces of paper with not much news, but there were some pictures of some nice dresses i wouldn't mind having. anyway, i just popped in to get some biscuits and a lemon drink, so off out again now. oh, i can hear lewis shouting that i should tell you the he and sniff of the yard solved the mystery of the horse that bolted. he was after some apples apparently and didn't want any water, so had only popped to the next field.
