Me: “I’ll be back soon”.
Flossie: “Have you remembered to lock the catflap?”

Me: “Yes!”

Floss and I were walking to the car (it lives beyond our gate), when a small ginger flash ran past me and I am sure I heard…..

Pepper: “Coming too!” (just don’t ask how she got out)

Pepper “You can’t take me back to the house, you’re late anyway”.

Pepper: “And I promise to behave”.
Me (under my breath): “Yer, right”.

I dropped off Flossie at her meeting place and told Pepper that the front seat was now hers’.

And then I thought, as it was such a nice day, and I’ve been cooped up in the house for ages, we would take the scenic route home.

It was nice to see the outside world together.
