Me: My pocketful of happiness is definitely our walk by the river. We had such a wonderful time.
Nell: Yes, I enjoyed it immensely.
Me: You’re not very good at Hide and Seek.
Nell: What do you mean?
Me: I could see you hiding behind that tree.
Nell: I couldn’t see you.
Me: You couldn’t hear me, either.
Nell: I was busy on my sniffari.
Me: And then you went paddling in the river.
Nell: It was cool and refreshing.
Me: I saw your tail wagging and when you came out you climbed back up the river bank with no trouble at all.
Nell: I was invigorated.
Me: Wonderful.
Nell: Now, the winning photo of David should be in today’s Growl on Sunday.
Me: Yes. There it is. Doesn’t he look handsome?
Nell: Very. Where are your running shoes?
Me: I don’t have running shoes.
Nell: Didn’t you get the memo?
Me: No.
Nell: Sunday Songs is all about running because today is the London Marathon.
Me: I wondered why the Welsh Corgi Choir were wearing lycra and headbands.
Nell: I’m afraid lycra really isn’t for corgis. I tried to tell them.
Me: They look rather sweet.
Nell: Several of the Whippets Institute are taking part in the London Marathon.
Me: So is Dee Blue who I knew as a child when I lived in Africa.
Nell: Good for her.
Me: She’s a big fan of yours.
Nell: Most kind.
Me: We aren’t going to have to do any actual running, are we?
Nell: Certainly not. A stroll along the river bank and a paddle in the river is quite enough for ladies of our age.
Me: That’s a relief.
Nell: Watching the highlights on television after a delicious Sunday roast will round off the day nicely.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
