I wonder if you would all be so kind as to look after Trousers for me whilst I'm in hospital having a 'Sense of Humour Bypass'?
Naturally I'm not having that done, but it will sure as hell feel like it when I surface from the anaesthetic !
See Wellie's suitcase:
* Latest copy of GYO
* Books: Elizabeth David's 'Provincial French Cooking' and 'Culinaria France'
* Thoughtful Prezzies to open from Hazel at the Hill
* Walkman radio and earphones, dial set to Radio 2
* Knitting needles, pattern & wool (knot one, pull one? It's been so long!)
Having just made 1.5 litres of Limoncello, I need you to remind him every evening to give the bottles a shake?
And Wednesday, before going to work, he needs to put the Dustbin out, and any empty bottles he's accumulated in the last couple of evenings (!)
When the coffee jar is getting empty, he needs to buy more.
The cat does need feeding, and at least twice a day.
Cuddles get given 'on demand', starting at between 0100 and 0300 hrs, culminating at the end of the day in a full-blown conversation as to how you feel your day went in comparison to hers'.....
The fresh growing herbs in the conservatory, and the greenhouse crops do NOT water themselves, and Freezers DO generally tend to defrost if you don't close the door properly.
Could you also remind him to open and close The Grown-Up Girls Greenhouse Doors a.m. and p.m. and if a frost is forecast, to pick all the Borlotti Beans, Squashes, Beetroot, Cape Goosegogs, SugarSnap Peas, Florence Fennel, Tomatoes, Chillies and Peppers BEFORE the frost!
If the Estate Agents phone with a potential Viewing, he will need to pick his OWN sox and pants up off the bedroom floor...! And naturally, the cottage will need de-cobwebbing, hoovering and dusting. Unfortunately for Trousers, it will be HIS turn this time to clean The Bathroom (see 'Kevin'...)
Oh, and given that there are four large blocks of Cheddar in the fridge, and Trousers used to be A Mouse in a previous life, perhaps you'd tell him that there are perfectly respectable home-made Soups and Casseroles in the Freezers for him to eat as well?
Perhaps you could explain to him what a bunch of flowers looks like, and where to buy such an item? (I'll get a 'thick ear' for that one when he reads it - poorly Wellie or NOT!!) Oh, and if he could print anything funny off The Vine for me to read during Visiting Hours, it might reacquaint me with a Sense of Humour again before I'm allowed home!
Well, that about wraps it up I guess. If you could keep him smiling and loosely 'sane' till I get back, I'd be more than grateful.
Have a good week everyone, and see you again, I hope, very soon.
Lots of Love for now,
