How many days?

I'm going to set up a sign like they have in factories - so many days since the list accident - only in this case it will be so many days since the last incident! So far it's two days since Maddie ate my breakfast (a meal bar which I'd left down with only one bite out of it).

How many days til the next? We look forward to it!

Murphy up to his own tricks

Just to prove Maddie's not the only one who can get into trouble, I got a call from Laura at lunchtime in a total panic - Murphy had run off and she'd been looking for him for half an hour to no avail. Various people had apparently seen him but she couldn't locate him. Think she had everyone in the woods looking for him, she was in a real panic and was there anyone at home who could help her look?

I decided to go home to help and Sally offered to run me home as I had the bike. Half way home I got a call from Alex (Emily's boyf) - he'd been skating at the track and Murphy had come bouncing up to say hello. He'd walked round with him for about 20 minutes but no sign of Maddie or Laura so he'd taken him home and put him in the house - but still no sign of Maddie. Did I have Laura's number?

Good man, Alex! I let Laura know and thanked him. Murphy rescue mission aborted and we went back to work. At least there were no deer legs involved this time!

Now I'm wondering - did Murphy run off after a deer (as I assumed) or did he realise Alex was there and go to say hello?

Who knows. All's well that ends well but I suspect some use of the extending lead will be brought into play for the near future.
