After our breakfast we went to our giant farm again.
And we saw the giant corn.
Maybe it was popcorn. Maybe.
And we had a very nice time.
Because it was as beautiful as could be day. Just like yesterday.
Just a bit cloudy so it was not too hot for running all around.
When we got home Zita talked to her mother and father.
They were all back home from the ocean.
They did not even fall in one time, but they did not see any whales. Oh well. Too bad for them.
Then Zita remembered it was clean the house day. And then she found that noisy floor cleaning machine.
So I went in the den and helped Craig with his good morning croissant.
When Zita went downstairs to make it spic and span I stayed right at the top of the stairs.
So I could mind her.
Then I had my first lunch so I knew it was time for my afternoon nap.
I did not have a morning nap because I was way too busy being a big help.

We are a bit anxious as we have another spectacular day ahead of us.
There is something in the dour Scot’s DNA that makes us feel that we will inevitably pay for this in the future.
Everything in balance you see.
But we decided to assuredly live in the present, and after plates of waffles and sausages at the Sundown, we were off to explore the day.
As we were already there we strolled around the farmers market, fortunately we found some excellent peaches for Mrs. T fabulous cobblers.
And as tonight we are having a winner takes all scrabble event, we bought six or seven different loaves of bread.
In order to test for the appropriate one for perfect toast.
As you all know we Blackthorn-badgers are world renowned toast sommeliers.
And a night of competitive revelry can be scuppered by the wrong choice of toast, not to mention the complexity of finding the correct garnish.
So well prepared for tonight we brought our acquisitions home before settling out again.
We had thought of going to watch the horse jumping, but they wanted nearly a Guinea to watch people fall off horses. My goodness.
We had missed the Highland Games yesterday, but the last time we went Uncle adjudicated the bagpipe competition and that led to fisticuffs.
So it was probably just as well.
He now carries brass knuckles in his sporran.
As the sudden appearance of his Kurkri caused the most unnecessary interest from the local authorities I must say.
As I remember no one suffered any truly permanent trauma. Well not so permanent.
Though it was certain that several bagpipes needed to be replaced.
With that in mind we thought that a long walk to the calming environment of the arboretum would be just the thing.
And when there we would only be a hop skip and jump from the numerous and varied restaurants on Preston Street.
Anything from Afghan Dumplings to Viennese pastries, they have it all.
So the decision was unanimous.

I had a very nice afternoon relax with my friend Craig.
As Emmet and Niamh were still away the house was very quiet. So having a long relax was very easy.
Zita went to the too much of everything store. Maybe she will find the giant croissants again. Maybe.
I stayed here with Craig to finish our relax.
But sometimes I had to get up and woof at things.
Craig says that I am going to run out of woofs. Ha. That is silly.
He said dogs only get so many woofs when they are born. And I am going to use all mine up.
He is wrong. He is not a dog.
I have woofs forever and fierce barks too. Too bad for him.
Sometimes he is very silly. It is known.
When Zita got home she had two giant bags of chips.
Because they only sell giant things at the too much store.
But because it was still very beautiful outside Zita and I went to our farm again. For our before dinnertime walks.
That was a surprise for me.
And I saw the cows. Lots of them. My goodness.
But I could not get so close because we were in our car. But I could smell them.
And they smelled just like the cows my mother guarded. When I was brand new.
My rascally brothers are guarding their very own cows right now.
But I am guarding my very own family. And they are not so smelly as those cows.
And when we got home we had toastie cheese sandwiches with bacons. Ha.
So we had lots of time to watch our detective program.
Before our own bedtime.
