Today I woke up and put my tshirt on backwards. I didn’t notice until Marlowe threw up all over it. I contemplated just turning my t-shirt around... Don’t worry, I washed it.
Did anyone ever tell you just how annoying spaniel puppies are? I mean, my god they are annoying. Actually the puppies we have at the moment are very good really, but they are still annoying. You take your eyes off them for a microsecond and they are up to no good. Well, that is spaniels in general. They like to see what they can get away with. Is this good preparation for the toddler phase?!
Yesterday I turned around to find Copper trying to rip up the carpet. He was subsequently banned to the kitchen. Anyone who says their puppies are perfect are clearly a liar or a magician. Sourcery I tell you. Then moments later I was outside fixing the fence. They didn’t want to escape, but get to the pigeons in the next door neighbours garden. My weird hippy neighbours feed the pigeons. They are fat, waddling pigeons. They really need to stop feeding them. I wonder if I will be reincarnated as a fat waddling pigeon. I am almost looking like one.
Oh, I ate all the croissants. My biggest achievement in lockdown yet.
Yesterday was just one of those days. I imagine it is the same for parents when one day their children are absolute angels, and the next you have seemed to have sporned a devil child!
The gardener Fred was round, he is a really nice chap and he makes my garden look pretty. An hour later, Ivy had dug a huge hole in the garden, more of a crater than a hole and I could have killed her. I also got told off by another neighbour because one of the dogs was chasing a bird around the allotment. Oops. I said perhaps shutting the gate might help. It didn't help to say that. I apologised.
It was actually Ivy. She works brilliantly for Jake. But for me, she looks at me, thinks for a moment and goes, nah and sodds off as if she were sticking two fingers up to me. Facepalm.
I haven't pissed anyone off yet today...
Marlowe spent the evening screaming the other day. It was genuinely the first time he has ever screamed longer than 5/10 minutes since he was born. A mixture of colic and teething. Lucky me. I nearly had a meltdown. Don’t judge me I had wine. Then ate one scone, three digestive biscuits and the rest of the box of Black Magic chocolate. Sadly the chocolate wasn't magic but the wine certainly helped.
In others news, I got accepted on my degree course, hooray! I don't know how I am going to cope but hey ho, I am sure I will give it my best shot.
What else? I super glued my shoes back together. Don't worry I washed them first. Apart from that, all is rather dull in isolation land...
