Meeeow

 For some reason Jasper starter to meow and yowl at about 5:00 this morning. As far as the Gorse Fox  is concerned, this is not cool! The Silver Vixen managed to shut him up and we drifted back into the arms of Morpheus until soon after 7:00.

The Gorse Fox had his usual Sunday football engagement.Team selection was difficult but must have been about right as it was a very tight game. The Gorse Fox's orange team came out winners with an 11-7 scoreline but that belies how close it was in terms of the game. We were lucky and put most of our chances away. Most of the yellow team's chances were just off target or blocked. The Gorse Fox managed to score 4 of the orange team's goals and was very content with the outcome (though he did hit the crossbar twice and  post three times).

The Silver Vixen had gone round to see Urban-Cub and sort things out regarding Ellie for the next couple of weeks. When she got back, we had some lunch and settled down for an hour's reading before going to see Old Bill. Old Bill is going into hospital tomorrow for a major operation. He has bee told to expect a stay of 10-14 days before being allowed home. It has been suggested that it will be a further 10 weeks of recuperation before he can do simple tasks such as being able to drive. The Gorse Fox will volunteer to go over and open his wine bottles for him.

Once we had cheered him up and wished him our very best we returned home to our books and for the Gorse Fox to prepare dinner.
