1. A head pops over the fence followed by a bag of food as a thank you. I explain that having a kitten to play with for a few days is thanks enough.
1b. Later, the little kitten runs around and around the table then jumps on my lap for a hug.
2. Strange races down the garden from the house, bouncing to clear the ground faster and meowing all the way. I didn’t realise I was that exciting. (I think it was the prospect of going in the chicken run that was really exciting.)
3. The gorgeous fields in the evening sunshine. It’ll be a shame when they’re covered in houses but we’ll enjoy them in the meantime.
3b. I enjoy the willow tree in the office park down the road, and describe my like of them to John. I say they’re like “the Ludo of trees” and John not only knows exactly what I mean, he does a passable impression of him too.
3c. I tell her that she has very cute cats (I’m not lying) and she tells me that she thinks Lily is cute too.
4. The dog pulls a perfect “whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaat?” face when I ask get if she’d like to go for a wee.
