Me: The Puppies were playing Hide and Seek on our walk. It was the sweetest thing.
Nell: It looks like Harriet did most of the hiding.
Me: Yes, Dave just watched.
Nell: It’s another sunny day today but the weather is going to change so expect cloud and possibly rain tomorrow.
Me: Talking to you is like having my own personal weather report.
Nell: I like to keep informed and the Weather Guardians are happy to oblige.
Me: I appreciate it.
Nell: There’s also very high grass pollen at the moment so take that into account if you feel a little wheezy.
Me: That’s why I keep sneezing.
Nell: It’s Hay Fever season.
Me: And we’re right in the middle of the countryside.
Nell: Exactly.
Me: Henry and Horst came home last night.
Nell: Why didn’t you tell me that before?
Me: I got involved in the weather.
Nell: How did they get home?
Me: They managed to HatHike on a sombrero.
Nell: How fortunate to meet a Mexican.
Me: It was actually a Beefy.
Nell: Henry and Horst travelled home on a large-brimmed hat worn by a criminal seagull?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Sounds plausible.
Me: Not all Beefies are criminals, by the way.
Nell: Was this one?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Do you know why they went away?
Me: They said it was a holiday but as soon as they got back they went into a Zoom meeting with Sally and Harriet.
Nell: Interesting.
Me: The Beefies have been gathering all morning so we think there might be some kind of meeting at Stephen Seagull’s apartment at the Stately Home.
Nell: You should alert The Cat.
Me: Dave’s gone over there now.
Nell: Now is far too early. The Cat is never seen until after ten.
Me: Needs must. Sorry.
