Miss Pancake
I went outside for my good morning look around and it was so cold my nose was nearly an icicle. Oh me goodness me.
So I did not do a very good job of looking all around.
And I had to ask the Badgers to be especially careful because I did not check everywhere out so well.
They said they would put on their warmest socks before they went out.
And they would take their very pointy swords. Just in case.
My goodness me.
Then I had my breakfast with Zita, before we went into out office for work.
There is a very warm spot where the sunshines, just beside Zita’s up and down desk.
That is where I stay when I am minding her.
My friend Niamh went to her university this morning.
To do some more studying, so she can write more stories for her professors.
I minded Craig too.
When Zita was making her tea and our next toasts.
One of my teeths came out last night.
Because I am getting my big dog teeth. Ha.
When I get my big teeth I will be a very fierce dog. Ha.
Zita says that I am getting so big that soon I will fit the keeps you dry as can be coat she brought back from far away Ireland. My goodness.
Already I can not walk through the table where Craig puts his coffee anymore. Because I grew too big.
Furrgus and Festis
I have totally recovered from my unfortunate experiment on the toboggan hill.
A good night’s sleep and a few hot water bottles soon put everything to rights.
Thank you for all your kind wishes.
Cook sent her famous raspberry soufflé recipe to Zita in case I was a bit down.
That soufflé is guaranteed to raise the spirits of anyone north of the Tweed. I do say.
Having been warned by our compatriot Pancake we went forth appropriately attired.
Including our Tilley hats with the ear flaps.
But my, even by the time we left, it was still colder than comfortable.
So the decision to go to the Sunset after our rather truncated patrol was unanimous.
Nothing like ham and cheese omelettes to warm your toes.
And a plate of communal onion rings was Dugal’s fine suggestion.
I must say we rather doddered about before stepping outside.
As we passed SEN it struck us that a big bowl of ramen might have been a better choice.
But then we realized that there was always this evening’s patrolling to account for.
Miss Pancake
When all the Badgers went outside they brought extra socks with them.
They told me the most important thing a soldier can have is lots and lots of warm and dry socks. I did not know that.
Maybe that is why Colonel Dugal is knitting his famous woolly socks.
He sends them to his relatives who are fighting in a far away place. Because they are family.
And they are altogether in the борсуки Brigade.
At night they dig giant holes and the nasty people’s tanks fall right in them. Ha. That was a good idea.
Dugal get all his wool from Cousin Morag’s own sheep.
She has especially very very woolly sheep. So the socks are very warm. That is good.
Dugal told me that she even has shepherds who mind them with fast running dogs.
Because sheeps are not so very smart and they get lost all the time. Oh dear.
Craig and I had toasts for lunch.
Then he remembered that it was my own lunchtime too. Good for us.
But when I was finished it was time for me to go back in our comfy office so I could mind Zita.
While she worked. That is a good job for me.
Furrgus and Dugal
On our way home we were discussing the fact that the nonsense in Ukraine has been going on for a year.
And there is no easy end in sight. Unfortunately.
Dugal who keeps in touch with the kith, told us that the family has suffered few casualties.
As they all are, by their very nature, nighttime specialists.
That was a bit of a relief, if there is any relief to be had in such a dismal situation.
On our return we found that everyone was deep into their various responsibilities so it was the perfect time for our nap.
And to apply hot water bottles to our various extremities. My goodness.
I have not been so cold since we tried to rescue the poor 44th at Gandamak. But that was a while ago.
Miss Pancake
When we were all finished work we did not go for our walk.
Because it was too cold for us. So we just stayed in the side yard until we were too cold.
And when we there there my friend Niamh came home.
And she was cold too. So she went downstairs to have a make you toasty warm shower. That was a good idea.
And she had spaghettis for dinner. So did Craig and Zita too.
Then Sach came in her car to take Niamh out. Because it was too cold to walk outside.
So Craig and Zita and I watch a new detective. They have watched him before.
But now it is a brand new one.
