On duty

It was a quiet start to the day - it was a bit grey and dull outside, but mild. It wasn't the sort of day that invited you to come and enjoy it.

The morning was spent on domestic activities and the Gorse Fox was thankful that he invested in the Karcher Hard Floor Cleaner last year. It does make the task of cleaning the floors so much easier and does a really good job. The Silver Vixen pottered around and got various loads of washing on the go, in the dryer, and on the airer.

At lunchtime we got a call from Urban-Cub. As we suspected, Ellie had not been well enough to go to the child minder today - but Pistol Pete was home to take care of her. Tomorrow, however, both Urban-Cub and Pistol Pete are on duty so the obvious thing to do was for Ellie to stay with us overnight and we'll take care of her during the day.

Urban-Cub turned up with Ellie late afternoon. Ellie was clearly under the weather, but somehow managed to keep her sunny disposition - she was just a bit lethargic. We'll take good care of her and ply her with suitable potions and remedies and then drop her back to Urban-Cub tomorrow afternoon.
