Busy day

Ellie was kind enough, despite a cough, to sleep through until nearly eight this morning. That was a nice bonus. It was a busy start to the day as the Silver Vixen and Gorse Fox tag-teamed Ellie while clearing the fridges of anything that won't last and trying to cram everything into the various bins for today's collection.

Jasper stayed well out of the way - he didn't want to get swept up! Little did he know. By mid morning he had been lulled into a false sense of security and the Gorse Fox took the opportunity to grab him and put him in his basket. Ellie and the Silver Vixen climbed into the car and Jasper was strapped in. He was off on his Spa Break at the cattery. Though he meowed the whole way there, Mark greeted him and he immediately settled.

We grabbed some lunch back home and then Ellie went down for a sleep. This meant that we had a little quiet time in which we could do our own packing and preparation. Despite all of the Gorse Fox's lists, he is sure he will have forgotten something.

Pistol Pete should be picking Ellie up in a few hours and then the taxi should arrive to take us to Gatwick where we can drop our bags and then meet up with Urban-Cub.

Talking of Urban-Cub, the Gorse Fox has heard from Cousteau-Cub. SHe's in Phuket, safe and sound. Her latest set of blood tests have come back and look very promising. Obviously a few weeks of TLC from mum helped a great deal!
