Glorious weather. Fresh two layer mornings soon give way to shirt sleeve warmth. The merest hint of a breeze blows all day. PONs can doze in the courtyard without fear of noses getting burnt. The forecast is for another two weeks of this glorious Indian summer.
Bob chases after a cat in the sunflower fields. He leaps up the roadside bank like a puppy and disappears among the long stalks. The cat is in little danger of being caught. Sophie briefly thinks of following her brother but just keeps on ploughing ahead. She wants to get home so that we can head off on the croissant run.
This mornings slightly malformed croissant gets 9/10. It has been left in the oven 30 seconds too long so the ends have blackened. Not that this bothers me. The croissant ends are reserved for my two shaggy breakfast companions. They are happy with any croissant end - blackened or not.
At the bakers a peach crumble for 'The Fonts' lunch and a Madagascar for me. This completes our shopping.
Given half a chance the PONs would dawdle at length near the butchers. They are encouraged along. Sophie keeps on turning her head backwards as we walk away. In a perfect world yogurt pots would refill themselves and butchers display cabinets would be at nose height.
Back at home Bob takes his family guardian position at the front door. Backside in, nose out from behind the curtain. He closes his eyes for what he promises will just be a second .... or two.

And after a hectic week some Elgar for a Sunday morning : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O35wl2xEvoo
This chart on department store sales in the US is interesting. Now even the Costco's are starting to lose out to on line retailing :

Bob's hunting skills are clearly on a par with Bertie's. Both would do better at capturing a nose height and enticingly displayed dead rabbit.
Cheers! Gail.
We would have gone with the Madagascar too. The rabbits are pretty scary looking - I would prefer my meat without a head.
Good on Bob for chasing the cat. Good on the cat for escaping Bob.
I would have to skip the rabbit, and just head right for dessert or a croissant.
