It rains overnight. The humidity does nothing for Sophie's hair.
The builders have been called away to an 'emergency'. Quite what the 'emergency' might be is left vague. They promise to return by the end of the week. '' Don't you worry M'Ongoose we'll get it finished ".
With no morose lads to 'throw the Furry Fox' , Sophie is left to explore the empty barn and mull over the meaning of life. That done she savages her brother.
Oh dear, the meaning of life includes savaging your brother does it? Poor Bob !
ReplyDeleteLife revolves around savaging your brother !
DeleteSophie's not really the contemplative sort, is she?
ReplyDeleteNot really. Unless you count sitting watching a chicken being cooked through the glass oven door as contemplation.
DeleteMust seem very quiet without workmen..
ReplyDeleteEerie.
DeleteOh but the day cannot be complete without a game of throw the furry fox surely?
ReplyDeleteSomeone will oblige.
DeletePerhaps Sophie is perplexed over the disappearance of her gravel mountains?
ReplyDeleteYour barn is a wonderful structure. What year was it built? Do you know? Perhaps Sophie is sniffing for clues...
ReplyDeleteThey went up alongside the house in 1720.
Delete1720...The American Revolution was just a twinkle in someone's eye. Thanks!
DeleteSophie: The answer is 42.
ReplyDeleteThe barn is enchanting. I think Sophie is enchanted too.
