Oh dear....

    .....it has been a beautiful sunny day.

       I opened the doors, greenhouse and shed to let everywhere have an airing.  Other years Joe has been ecstatic at the chance to have his first mousing session of the year.  I have known him to spend the whole day in the shed, bum in the air, barking loudly at the smell of mice.  This year, not only is he not interested, but he never even went into the shed for even the tiniest of sniffs.

  He wandered round the garden, and laid on my jumper when he found it laying on the grass, but really he is far more inclined to snuggle on the settee and snooze amongst the cushions, and once he has had his tea he soon wanders up to his bed, often settling down for the night by about 8pm.

      Found him laid on my bed and using my pillow as his pillow as he enjoyed the afternoon sun.
