Four pairs of shoes, and a dog named Bob...
After last night's revels I'm up early because we had a surprise visitor who is being collected by his owner this morning.
I swear there's a magnet in the centre of this cottage, and if you walk by too close you get sucked right in.
In the middle of clearing up dishes with back door open, suddenly noticed there were three dogs on the dog bed instead of two! Fortunately, Bob had a tag with his name and the telephone number of his 'pet' incribed upon it- and as it was now raining heavily, owner and I decided to let Bob stay the night.
I see four pairs of shoes in the hallway- discarded to prevent clatter across wooden floors... parents, forget all this nonsense about wooden floors being clean options for your home- that misses the point entirely- we lay wooden floors with the specific intention of doing a head count each morning- forewarned is forearmed, right?
Talking of forewarned- Love is in the air...
At the ball last week a tall, slender and rather lovely young lady who attended uni'with my eldest, was introduced to a twenty-nine year old bachelor 'almost lawyer' with a slightly anxious air.
You know the type- cleverest boy in the class, spectacles, but good-looking, slightly geeky- a bit of a Clark Kent before the cape arrives??
Well, the tall slender one has agreed to go to dinner with the anxious geeky one, and both are coming here tonight to make up a foursome.
Luckily you can walk to the wine bar in the village, and then they will all stay over so no driving is required.
It's been said that the anxious, geeky one has been flossing his teeth and plucking out nasal hair since the ball in anticipation of tonight. I hope all goes well for them...
Will keep you posted.
Love to all
Susan
