We are deeply fond of our cat, Jasper. The Gorse Fox needs to make that clear from the start. There is, however, something deeply unsettling about walking into the lounge, first thing in the morning, to spot cat vomit on the carpet. There is something even more unsettling to realise that you nearly stood in another pile of cat vomit when you went to open the shutters. (the Gorse Fox is relieved that he had put his slippers on). Dealing with this would have to wait. Ellie was up and about and we had to get her fed, washed, dressed, and ready for school.
It was only after we returned from school and had consumed our own breakfast that the Gorse Fox fired up the spot cleaner to try and clean the carpets. It was only a partial success. It does not take a magnifying glass to spot the stain that has remained on the carpet.
Not having an Ocado order last week, nor doing a Sainsbury's top-up, we were running low. The Gorse Fox prepared a shopping list and we raided Sainsbury's. It didn't take too long and it was only meant as a stop-gap until Thursday, but we still managed three bag fulls and a bill that amounted to more than 60p.
After a bite of lunch, we had a quiet hour with our books until we had to collect Ellie. She was in good form once she had gotten over our refusal to let her go to the park(it was too cold). She hadn't been home long before Urban Cub came to collect her for supper, prior to dropping her back with us overnight.
