Lucy went back to my mum’s this weekend – she lashed out at Edward and so having her stay here was no longer an option. Jack and Ellie were in the lounge, Ellie was playing Indiana Jones Lego (one of the BEST games in the whole world!) and Jack was mooching around. Edward went in to the lounge, made a bee-line for Lou-Lou and GRABBED her legs – she didn’t like it and lashed out. He’s fine – a couple of scratches on his forehead and a ‘tooth-graze’ and a deeper almost puncture wound higher up on his head under his hair, I say almost puncture wound because it was a perfect tooth-shaped triangular hole about 2 to 3mm deep but the skin wasn’t actually broken and bleeding if you see what I mean. He was a very lucky boy as it could have been at lot worse. He’s none the worse emotionally for all of it and isn’t showing any fear with the dogs, which is good on the one hand and not so good on the other as he is still trying to pull Cypher’s nose and cheeks if he can. I hope this phase passes soon.
It also means that Neo has come home – as Lou-Lou has a certain fatal history with cats…although having said that she’s been exceptionally well behaved with mum’s cats over the last 24 hours! Cypher on the other hand has done nothing than bark and cry at the gate at the bottom of the stairs because he knows there is something up there. Poor Neo, his quiet ‘retirement’ at my mum’s has come to an abrupt end! He seems quite happy at the moment though camping out in Ellie’s room – under the bed during the day but comes out to say hello and roll around on the carpet like an overgrown kitten and he slept on Ellie’s bed all night last night. Morpheus isn’t interested in him being upstairs, it’s just Cypher who’s a bit over excited at the moment.
And so that is all the weekend news. Christmas seems to be hurtling towards us at a staggering speed and we are probably the most disorganised we’ve ever been, it’s going to be over in a flash and all of a sudden we’ll find ourselves in 2009 which will probably race by faster than this year has.
