Nell: So, what are your plans this Bank Holiday Monday? Are you having a lazy day?
Me: I’m not, I’m going to the gym soon for my aqua class, but Dave is.
Nell: David enjoys lazy days.
Me: He does. He’s been lounging around on my bed all morning watching the Bus Stop or old episodes of Saturday Kitchen.
Nell: We all enjoy a good cooking show.
Me: We do.
Nell: Poppy is thinking of making one for the Guardians.
Me: How will they watch it?
Nell: We have Guardian television.
Me: You do?
Nell: We have everything. I told you.
Me: You did.
Nell: Anyway, Poppy’s going to call it ‘Cooking with Poppy’.
Me: I’d watch it.
Nell: You can’t.
Me: I know but I would if I could.
Nell: I need to tell you something rather exciting.
Me: Please do.
Nell: A lot of our time as Guardians is spent Searching and Finding.
Me: Searching and Finding what?
Nell: Other Guardians. And they’re not always easily found.
Me: I’m glad Poppy, Mutley and Charlie found you.
Nell: They were my Welcoming Party. That’s allowed. Anyway, we found a few very important animals today.
Me: Tell me.
Nell: Yorkshire Terrier brothers Monty and Zapp.
Me: That’s wonderful, Nell. Kev will be so pleased to hear this. He was living with Monty, Zapp and Mutley when we first met.
Nell: I know. I never met Zapp but I knew Monty very well so it was good to see him again.
Me: I’m so happy that you’re all together.
Nell: I knew you would be.
Me: I don’t suppose you’ve found Santa yet, have you?
Nell: Your first dog, Golden Retriever Santa?
Me: Yes.
Nell: No, not yet. But we will. These things take time.
Me: Of course they do. Sorry.
