Well, after a quick drinkie with friends last night I settled down in bed with Buffy (yes, we sleep together) 10.30pm. I was up again at 12.30 because Buffy heard our resident fox outside. She starts of with a twitch of her leg and this can go on for an hour at least. How do I know this? Because I've tried so hard to ignore it but she just gets more twitchy. It's easier to get up, let her out and then come straight back to bed again. There was repeat of this at 2am only this time there was no twitching - she woke me up wth a frenzy of barking, shot outside the bedroom spun round in circles and barked till I caught her up and let her out. Then the lovely Polly started bleating at 5am. She usually wakes at this time but it's a lovely soft bleat she gives - a sort of wake up stretch. Not so today. Like an alarm clock that just won't stop she got louder and louder till I couldn't leave it any longer. It's the neighbours you see, they're so very patient with my brood I don't want to push my luck. I gave her a small bowl of food to shut her up then she was off again at 6.30am. Again I tried to ignore it but when her hoof started tapping on the back door I knew she needed attention. All she wanted was a pat on the head then she settled back down straight away. If she's awake she obviously thinks everyone else should be. Back to bed and then would you believe it - 7.55am the phone goes. I pressed the silence button but I'd had enough by then. Made breakfast and sat in bed watching Frasier with coffee and toast then got up.
Think I'm due for an afternoon nap now.
