Friday 22nd April
Rob has built wooden structure to break up appearance of long thin garden and provide something for wisteria to grow up. Looks like gibbet but don’t like to say so.
Mum and Dad arrived for Easter and immediately started gardening, assembling rose arch made by father in shed and generally being helpful. Like having two house elves, one large and one small.
Dog refusing to eat.
Tuesday 26th April
Came downstairs at 7am to find cat squatting on rug in kitchen staring fixedly at fire place. Rescued frightened mouse from grate where it had squeezed behind fire guard to escape clutches of death cat. Managed to get cream cardigan covered in ash and soot. Put mouse in compost heap and went to get changed.
On return home, murderous cat again had mouse which looked suspiciously similar to one from earlier. Performed second rescue of mouse which then bit me, drawing blood. Worried all evening that might develop strange, mouse borne disease.
Brother in law Charlie due to go to Tunisia today but was stung by bee and spent part of night in A and E after bad reaction. Why is our family plagued by insect bites? Is a bee an insect?
Trying to decide menu for Royal Wedding day. Has to be British. Tom sulking because curry ruled out. (Only because have eaten own body weight in curry lately. Am of course aware that Chicken Tikka Masala is favourite national dish.).Think will have fish and chips and mushy peas( optional). Children very scathing of my Northern fondness for mushy peas. Julia bringing lots of asparagus from Evesham which will be lovely apart from smelly wee.
Dog still not eating.
