Both the cold, and work on the quilt are lingering. . . The quilt has been up here since last Friday . . . I can just about function now as long as I have Ibuprofen every 4 hours. Not ideal, but necessary at the moment. I had legs like chewed string this morning but I needed to get some pudding rice from the Health Food Shop in Llandod (only place I can buy it locally) and wool (for the knitted Elderberry Bunnies) and so went to Tescopolis too and topped up. Now it's an afternoon of Drew Prichard antiques programmes and rest. "I" is on the sofa with us in here, watching a cartoon on her ipad. Not ideal, we try and limit screen time but Emma isn't well and is upstairs struggling to keep on top of her accounts.
Below is Shadow, Emma and "I"'s cat. He wants to make friends to the four down here now but he's had a run in with Lulu, who - feeling adventurous - went upstairs and met him and he chased her down. Now it's War and we should call her Lulu the Zulu Warrior as she is SO brave - he is twice her size but she sits down here and swears at him. Today they nearly had a set-to when I was upstairs but apparently Pippi rushed to her sister's aid and they saw him off! He nearly got leapt on by Alfie recently (who was on the table, so Shadow hadn't spotted him). I had to grab Alfie darn quick as he'd have marmalized him. Alfie needs to go back on the Happy Pills I think.
He looks quite like Little Whale and Ghengis may have thought that he was as he didn't look twice and walked past him, and once sniffed noses with him before walking away.
Lulu en garde . . .
On our recent walk - in the sleet/snow - on the day Ghengis left us. The rose bush arrived today so I will get it unwrapped and having a drink. We will plant it by Ghengis' grave at the weekend.
Perhaps I will now have a look at the Elderberry Bunnies pattern.
