It was absolutely thrashing down with rain this morning when the Gorse Fox came down. Jasper was happy to head for the Orangery but certainly wouldn't venture out.
Talking of Jasper, he clearly had checked the family calendar and understood the codes we had used to try and fool him. So it was that five minutes before we had to take him to the cattery he disappears upstairs and hid in the most inaccessible part of the Gorse Fox's study. We tracked him down and the Gorse Fox managed to get a good grip and deposit him in his carrier without incident. Twenty minutes later Mark greeted him like a long lost friend and Jasper settled into his run for his Spa break!
Back home we could finally break out the suitcases and get the packing done. The Gorse Fox, despite his lists, is convinced he has forgotten something - or may underestimated some items while overestimating others.
We've just been in contact with Agent Mulder - he's still scrambling round at work in NYC but is looking forward to meeting up tomorrow.
Cousteau-Cub has had her briefings on running the house and also has a monthly bus pass on order so she can get around. The Gorse Fox thinks everything is more or less set. We just need to wait for the chauffeur, now.
