Spring has sprung!

So, the daffodils are blooming in my garden—and the pansies—and me and the kittens spent the morning in the sun. (Yes, we’re getting on very well. They ignore me and I ignore them, mostly—though sometimes my mum has to say, ‘Josie!’ in that rather sharp voice of hers.)It’s not yet as warm as it is in Barbados, but we’re getting there. Savannah, who’s the ‘main cat’, apparently, sat under a rosemary bush while Rabbit lay sunning herself on the garden wall. I’m not sure where Georgia was but I could hear her complaining , which she does a lot. I don’t know why because how can you complain on a beautiful day like this?

Oh, and last night, when it was very late, me and my dad sat out in the garden for ages watching the total eclipse of the moon, which was amazing. And, no, I didn’t howl. Why would a dog howl at the moon?

Anyway, I thought you’d like to see the daffodils and the pansies—and me, looking at my mum:

Got to go now, because it’s time for my walk.

But, before I do, one more by the way: In the Washington Post my mum read another handy tip from Heloise about how to avoid losing your puppy in the dark when you take them out for their bedtime walk: you put a flashing cycle lamp on their collar. My dad doesn’t have a cycle lamp—because he doesn’t have a cycle, duh!—but he does have this badge that looks like a Heineken beer bottle cap and has a flashing red light, and last night he put it on my collar so he could always see where I was. Neat, eh?
