Okay, we actually have plenty of pets. Especially if you include the alpacas, half of which (the girl half) spent last night in the shed, and will spend tonight in the shed as well, as another low brings through another yucky gale-force blast of cold rain. We are NOT including the fluffy white cat that showed up to peer curiously in through the living room slider last night. We’ll ask Dave from across the way who that one belongs to. We wonder if it’s the one that bit Jake’s foot.

We don’t have a pool, unless you count the puddle outside the shed, so that part’s true. Stephen has been working to mitigate that — the puddle, that is, not the lack of pool. We’ve never been big pool people. A pond, maybe… down the front where it’s all swampy anyway… ahem.

Also, the part about no phone. A branch came down somewhere yesterday and blew the transformer — the power came back on, but the phone is still out, and will remain out until Friday afternoon, we’re told. That means no internet, either (I’m writing this at work). So if you need to reach us, try the mobile number.
