Penny and Charlie have been my constant companions, sleeping snuggled up at my feet, behind my back, above my head on my laptop in fact anywhere that is warm and quiet Two very robust flies came in, then promptly went out the window but only after they had buzzed around and around and around and around and around ... They didn't seem to know where they were or what they were doing Breakfast, lunch and tea has been delivered, religiously, with a flourish and a flower from the garden Toast and jam, cheese sandwiches shepherd's pie, copious cups of coffee along with the odd fairy cake which i must say was greatly received Tablets have been administered, quite adeptly I would say, in a professional manner, with a glass of water, freshly poured from the bathroom tap. It's the thought that counts There seem to be only two cobwebs in here. One that is tucked into the corner, the other, just under the bookcase. The one just under the bookcase moves with the breeze. I wonder where it's spider is? I must remember to wash the windows, and mow the lawn and sort that pile of books out to go back to the library. I wonder what has happened in the world outside today? I can hear someone mowing their lawn. I can see blue sky and white clouds. It looks like a lovely day outside. When I'm better I'll do the washing, and hang it out in the breeze. I might try and move, to see if it still hurts.. These covers are so warm I think it must be an easy life being a cat. If there is another life beyond this, I'd want to be a cat. Yes... it hurts to move Maybe I will just have a nap, and pretend i'm a cat. After all it's only 1:30 in the afternoon. Plenty of time to have another nap and rest in my bed 🛌
