There is something wonderful about not having to set the alarm and not having to be up early. The Gorse Fox was going to enjoy a lie-in. Jasper, however, had other ideas. At 6:30 this morning he started his Olympic trampolining routine on the Gorse Fox. This could be tolerated, briefly. As the Gorse Fox had not reacted, Jasper then started mewling. That was it, and at 6:40 the Gorse Fox was up and letting Jasper out.
We had had to get Jasper some different food. His normal cat food was not available at Sainsbury’s. He clearly was unimpressed and had hardly touched his dinner or his breakfast. This was probably why he was fidgety. After the Gorse Fox’s weekly call with the cousins, he went to the pet food warehouse in nearby Runcton and managed to pick up two boxes of his usual fare. We should be ok for a week.
We headed up to Chiddlingfold to have lunch with J&T. The last couple of times we did this involved convoluted detours. This time we whistled straight through and got there early enough to enjoy a cup of coffee before they arrived. Lunch was, as usual, very good and we discussed all the latest family news from both sides of the family. More importantly, we celebrated Trevor’s birthday.
Back home, we had a quiet evening and the Gorse Fox signed up for Netflix. He’s not sure how much use he will make of it, but traditional TV is so bad throughout the week, that alternatives are required.
