Here we go again! The Agalouts are “off to sunny Spain” as they used to sing years ago, and I am being outsourced again to the Odd Couple. Imagine the scene this morning. There is plenty of packing to do and other preparations for the early afternoon flight to Barcelona. Naturally Lady B is well organinsed and is getting on with the real work which needs doing this morning. However Lord B is having none of that, he is playing with his gargantuan telly which he claims is not working. It could wait until next week when they get back, but that is far too simple. Old Lord B has the screen off the wall and is now surrounded with wires. He panics and summons Grey from his kennel and commands him to bring another telly to check “whether the box works”. Have you ever heard of a box that does not work? Only happens when Lord B forgets to add the Sellotape!
But I digress. Grey arrived with armfulls of kit. He takes one look at the mess in the lounge, suggests that Lord B turns it all on with his remote control and guess what. It works! Panic over, I jump into Grey’s car and we both get out while the going is good.
In no time at all, I am installed with Grey and Blue in their kennel, and before you could say “would I like a treat” me and her are fast asleep in front of the fire (see picture). Apart from a nice walk up the road in the late afternoon, all was quiet and uneventful for the rest of the day as the odd couple had to go out to dinner with their friends, the odder couple. I was left to guard the warm fire which I happily did until they got back.
