Me: The puppies seem a little tired after yesterday.
Nell: I think we all are.
Me: We caused quite a stir in the village, didn’t we?
Nell: I suppose it’s not every day a wolf arrives on a motorcycle with a sidecar full of insects and small animals.
Me: Or a cart full of seals drawn by llamas?
Nell: They didn’t have to go twice around the recreation ground,
Me: No, that was unnecessary.
Nell: And Princess was clapping herself again.
Me: It’s a seal thing.
Nell: We caused a road block, you know.
Me: I do know.
Nell: I’m finding it all a little stressful. How are you?
Me: I’m exhausted and a bit sad but the sun is shining and people seem very friendly, so I’m sure everything will be alright.
Nell: I’ve never seen so many boxes.
Me: There are a lot.
Nell: We’ve lost one of our sofas.
Me: Yes. There simply isn’t room here. The House on the Corner is a lot smaller, but it has a friendly feel.
Nell: It does.
Me: I think we’re going to be happy here.
Nell: I’m sure we are.
Me: It was nice of Nigel and Charlotte to come over, wasn’t it?
Nell: You know they’re still asleep in the front bedroom, don’t you?
Me: Yes. They’re helping with the unpacking later but let them sleep for now.
Nell: I think my role in all this is going to have to be a supervisory one.
Me: It’s enough that you’re here by my side, Nell. I don’t need anything more.
Nell: Personally, I wouldn’t say no to a cup of tea and a lightly boiled egg with some hot buttered toast.
Me: We’d better try and find the kettle and the toaster then.
Nell: Good grief.
Me: Sorry.
