OOOOh how I wished there was a bit more of the above happening at 6 am this morning......
But no :I awoke to the whining and puppy ''howling'' of hungry puppies- can you believe it ?This is MUCH louder than ANY alarm clock- they are on a separate floor and many doors away..... and found a sleepy daughter cuddling Lucy while sitting in the larger dog basket- still half asleep herself....( GIRL that is, the pup was wide awake!)
HEHEHE, hahaha, hehehe.... The evil weasel is ready to play her evil part in today's play at the school: the BIG green adventure full of ecological statistics and ''green'' issues, a bit of biology and a lot of singing, dancing and recycling..... It was a main part, a big role and she fulfilled it with whicked glee......heheheAND it's JJ's - not Jack junior but big human JJ 's birthday so it was as well we were all up so early: costume? check. facepaints? check. Puppy breakfast? check ( scrambled eggs again...)
Jack and Lucy tuck in on the newspapers in the kitchen this time while Tom climbs onto a lap and begs a cuddle and then gets fed there- remind me: who's birthday is it again????
Way to go Tom! Meanwhile JJ has his breakfast in bed: apple hot cross buns dripping in real butter and mug of tea. He even gets out of his share of changing the puppy papers: uuuueghhh
Lucy has decided she can see over the top of the whelping box now:see???
This is NOT at the entry flap..... Good job JJ is home all morning then we have a lovely pub lunch out and spend the afternoon watching the school play/musical....
Meanwhile back to the puppies: Lucy is still working on her escape route: she really likes it outside the box!
LOOK! If I stretch can I climb onto mum's back and hitch a ride?? OK Luce says Tom I'm right behind you, I'll give you a nudge....
Oh no I can't reach, what's on the right?
Nothing! You oaf! You've missed your chance, mum moved!
OK, try again! Tom and I are right behind you, show us the way big sis! Jack looks on and encourages Lucy to have another go....

Good job JJ is home all morning then we have a lovely pub lunch out and spend the afternoon watching the school play/musical....This is topped off with some gardening in the sun and a home- cooked curry with an old speckled hen ( not me!honest!!!) lots of 2 types of birthdaycake and a boy's DVD with more beer....
Skype to India to connect with sister and mum , niece etc and show off the puppies to all who can see.....Poor Jack wasn't so sure to be dangled above a small camera and be declared : such a long body hasn't he.....well he IS a dachshund I felt like protesting!
Such a great tecnical advance this skype internet connecting with cameras isn't it, if only there wasn't that funny delay when moving or speaking.....
Cuddles with Tom and Lucy ( but I reckon JJ has a soft spot for Tom) and then JJ declares: this is the best birthday ever......
( Chancellor please note the presents ammounted to 3 PACKETS OF BISCUITS wrapped nicely, a few plants and bulbs, flowers oh and a dinner at a sushi place in Oxford last week.... birthday recession style.....)

( In green print as a THANK you to all who were involved in the school play and VERY GREEN and very good it was too!!!!!)
