Me: I’m glad we went to the activity field with you all yesterday. I definitely couldn’t go there today.
Nell: Neither could I. It’s pouring with rain.
Me: I meant Kev and I are very achy today after our vaccinations.
Nell: Yes. I noticed you weren’t feeling quite yourselves. Today needs to be a quiet day.
Me: Yes. We can’t have Sunday Songs outside.
Nell: Don’t worry. It’s been moved to the Big Barn and Our Penguin will be filming, so those who can’t get here can watch it on YouChewed.
Me: The wonders of technology. I noticed the Whippets Institute minibus arrived here much earlier than usual.
Nell: Yes. They collected the Welsh Corgi Choir.
Me: How kind of them. Walking here in the rain on those little legs would have been awfully wet and tiring.
Nell: Corgis are tougher than you think. Besides, they have wellington boots and sou’westers.
Me: Well, I’m glad they travelled in comfort.
Nell: They’re eating bacon sandwiches in comfort at the moment with huge mugs of tea. The kitchen is full of them.
Me: Even better. Talking of food, Harriet was a naughty girl yesterday.
Nell: Surely not.
Me: When you and I were having a sit down and a chat in the activity field I put some biscuits on one of the tree stumps.
Nell: I know.
Me: And when I turned around Harriet had jumped up and eaten the lot.
Nell: Uninvited?
Me: Yes. She stole them while we were talking.
Nell: That’s very out of character.
Me: I know.
Nell: David said she stole half his pizza yesterday evening. I thought he was exaggerating.
Me: Poor darling Big Brave Beautiful Boy. No wonder he needs a second breakfast.
Nell: Everybody needs a second breakfast. It’s Sunday.
Me: Oh yes. Sorry.
