Early start

For some reason Ellie decided that 04:20 seemed like a reasonable time to wake up. This started the day. The Silver Vixen changed her and the Gorse Fox went to heat a bottle. Fed, she started to settle. Then Jasper arrived and started to meow. This woke Ellie. The Gorse Fox chased Jasper away. Miss Ellie started to settle again. Jasper arrived again. He started to meow again. This disturbed Ellie again. The Gorse Fox chased him downstairs and decided to feed him - that would shut him up. The problem was that Ellie was now wide awake. The Silver Vixen and the Gorse Fox tag-teamed until we got her back off to sleep. Fortunately, she then slept through until 08:15.

The day has revolved around Ellie. We did manage to take her out for a walk after lunch - and she slept until we got home. Not long enough, however, as she started to get a little grizzly late in the afternoon. Food and drink soon cheered her up (clearly taking after her grandfather). She's having a bath as the Gorse Fox writes this, so a Youtube Nursery Rhymes clip is in the next browser tab, ready to play as she emerges.
