Maisie is working her way to be a newspaper editor. Every paper she manages to sneak off the coffee table she diligently rips out all the articles that she obviously thinks are offensive or too long.

Bonnie meanwhile is working hard at her job as lavatory attendant. I have to rush to clean anything up before she disposes of the other dogs’ deposits.

Florence is in training as a landscape gardener, tidying up any plastic plant pots she finds lying around by hiding them out of sight & digging out weeds ( & flowers) growing between the paving slabs & the rockery at the top of our garden. She has an apprentice helper in George, my gander, who retrieves all the white labels I have put in pots in the cold frames ( so I know what I’ve actually planted) & kindly takes them to his pond where he washes them clean again.
