This morning was a much more peaceful and ordered process as I awoke. A gentle buzz of birdlife in the distant background and definitely without the assault on the senses which brought me back from the world of slumber yesterday. Let me explain, and I must point out that no animals were hurt in the making of this story.
We got back yesterday afternoon from the office - sorry, studio - in daylight, which has been something I am not used to through the winter, but suddenly he is coming home an hour earlier at night. Being still daylight I felt a daylight patrol of the grounds was in order. Twas at that point I saw him, my morning nemesis! I had heard him shouting as we came through the gate, "Hoomuns are coming hoomuns are coming, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, hoomns are coming hoomuns are coming, dog, dog, dog, etc. But he had clearly forgotten about me and was busy rooting through some dried leaves looking for heaven knows what when I came upon him behind the shed. Very intent upon his mission he had no idea of my presence as I crept closer and closer. When I was only the length of a box of Bonios away from him I summoned my deepest and loudest woof which had a very profound effect and he dropped last nights worms and other stuff out of his bottom where he stood and took off across the hedge and the manor gardens with a loud "AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH, its a dog its a dog its a dog, dog dog dog dog as he disappeared into the distance towards where Adge the Badge lives. If he tries to keep Adge the Badge awake with his early morning shinanegins I suspect he also may have an opinion on the matter too. I must confer with him later to see if he got woken up from his hibernation by Blackbird's infernal row.
