But I Smile Anyway…

Oh poor me!!! Oh poor injured me!!!

Deep scratch to arm, from barbed wire in the garden, and a bruised shin and twisted ankle… What have I been up to?

Well I can thank my dearest Kitty Sonu Singh for these lovely injuries!

We have recently been discussing the pros and cons of getting a cat flap, as he loves going in the garden. And today he decided it would be a good idea to hop over some fence or another… Thing was we don’t have the cat flap yet, and can’t close the house up until we know he’s back. 

Dinner was on the table, so I told a worried Hubby dearest to eat, we could leave the door open and let him have his exploring time.

But part way through dinner Hubby Dearest couldn’t wait and went to have a look for him. He found him alright, stuck behind the fence at the back of our house. It is a barbed wire fence along the top, and there is brambles and bushes, and a railway line a bit set back. He had somehow climbed over, and hadn’t a clue how to get over again!

Thing is we have no access to that area. What to do? We tried coaxing him, Hubby Dearest was ready with wire cutters to cut the fence down, then I remembered our lovely neighbours mentioning getting behind there before… 

So  a visit to next door, and we had the lovely man from there trying to find Sonu Singh who was not coming out for anyone he didn’t know! Hubby Dearest then went over and after 20 minutes and countless treats we got him!

But not before me scratching myself on the barbed wire, and falling off the chair I was standing on to find him, and Hubby catching himself on wire and brambles too!

Oh, and don’t ask me about the kids, who were worried sick!

Thankfully that little monkey is back home now…

Looking a bit sheepish, he is now! And goodness knows what fleas he’ll have picked up!!! 

I envisage waking tomorrow to many aches and pains!! 

Not great considering I am meeting my baby nephew for the first time too tomorrow!!!!! 
Oh Sonu Singh, what am I going to do with you??!!
