I know it's not uncommon for some of you, but it hasn't snowed properly in our part of the UK for three years, so we were a teensy bit excited when we woke up this morning and went for a walk by the canal as soon as it was light and we'd eaten our porridge.

We've been home since Thursday evening. Apologies it's taken so long to update but as you might imagine it takes quite a while to reassemble the contents of a completely upended house. Spoiler alert: we're nowhere near finished.
You'll be pleased to know, I'm sure, that it has taken less than 48 hours for Telstar to bring home, execute, and consume a member of the local rodentia. On the more expensive of the two sets of new carpet - most of the downstairs is LVT flooring. I'm sure he'll find a window in his busy schedule to christen the other set.

Telstar managed to get onto the roof of the dovecote, and then refused all inducement to come down.
...by a terrible internet connection.
Telstar looks very fetching as he hunts butterflies under the rose arbour in Norfolk.

I wish to reassure readers that His Lordship is not suffering unduly due to the escalation of building works at our house. In fact he is developing a bit of a tum as a result of extra rations/treats being distributed by soft-hearted builders who are wrapped around his noble paws.

The bloke knocked down the old shed the weekend before last to make way for the new shed. The Polaroid above is in one of two pretty paper notebooks that the bloke brought back on his last trip to Delhi before the lockdown. I take a pair of Polaroids every few days, and file them to make a Covid diary for each of the children as a memento of this peculiar time.
Here you can a very happy man in his fancy metal shed. It has power sockets and light switches and a work bench. We celebrated the new shed’s arrival with our first takeaway food in 2.5 months, which included our first chips and ice cream (not consumed simultaneously) in the same duration. This is because we don’t currently have a functioning freezer, for reasons too dull to elucidate. The takeaway was from our local pub, which has just reopened for said purpose. Anyway, we wolfed down our burgers and chips and gobbled up our desserts with indecent haste. Food that someone else had made has never tasted so delicious.
Finally, here is a photo of Telstar on the wooden bench in our garden, taken by the bloke with his fancy new iPhone.

Telstar sniffing Keiki's fingers.
I don't know what it is about this week, but it's kicking my butt. Work has suddenly become full-on again after a lull whilst everyone adjusted to this being-home-all-the-time, virtual-meetings malarkey. The day flies past and suddenly it's 9 PM and I just want to sit in front of the telly with a beer and stare at the Great British Sewing Bee. It could be worse.
