With all the visitors gone the angelic duo are adjusting to a less frenetic pace of life . Sophie has exorcised the memory of the youthful interlopers by barking loudly in each of the, now empty, guest bedrooms.
At his usual bed time Bob picks up his favourite toy and wanders out into the garden. He's of the opinion that it might be a good idea to play throw the furry fox by starlight and go belly flopping in the pool .
The family fellow has to be informed that the sight of Angus belly flopping in the pool, at any time of day or night, would be lacking in gravitas. In return Bob gives me a look that indicates in PONland such behaviour would merely be considered jejeune.
The Old Farmer is somewhat coy about the reasons for his early return. '' I'm back to make the motor home more 'comfortable'. 'Comfortable' in this case means plastering a bewildering variety of signs and posters across its back. New net curtains have also been installed to replace the faded and torn chintz ones.
Our neighbour shows these additions to 'The Font ' who observes that they're " Quite remarkable ". The Old Farmer takes this as a compliment. He plans to set off again tomorrow.

Wonder what bumper stickers....and signs he may collect once underway again...
It almost looks as though the Old Farmer is collecting sponsorship ! New net curtains - do we sense a feminine touch?
He'd better keep the wing mirrors clean - there''s little hope of seeing out of the back window.
Maybe his Parisian lady friend with the apartment on Place de la Bourse ?
I love the synchronised raspberry blowing at the camera by the PONs
Sophie is looking especially lovely today.
The signage, why?
I like that Sophie has reclaimed each of the guest bedrooms! I do feel badly for Bob waiting in the garden, for a late night game of 'throw the fury fox'.
Good question.
So nobody can mistake them as anything other than French ?
Or a ready made conversation opener at camp sites ?
Sibling skill.
Bob would be a 24/7 guy if he could. Sophie wouldn't.
The Old Farmer came back home to regroup...I love him....wishing him safe travels as he sets out again.
I guess "comfortable" means more privacy in this instance....although folks would tend to gawk more as they try to read the signage on the back of the motor home..
Angus surely you could manage a belly flop or two in the pool to make Bob happy.
Love those two pink tongues...adorable.
The old farmer certainly is an interesting guy. I'm glad that the font encouraged him to add more posters. He's got style!
