Greater love has no dog …

Ricky is besotted with his master. If Ricky escapes upstairs he immediately jumps into Tom’s bed. If Tom lies on the settee, Ricky buries his face into Tom’s. They have all left now to go to Scotland so we are in the house alone until Christmas Day. We went to our old house and retrieved some things from the loft in the morning and then came back to walk the dogs in the rain. I thought I had escaped all things administrative for Christmas but I had arranged to a telephone appointment with the electricity company Enedis regarding increasing the supply to the church. They tried to phone my French number which did not work in the UK. Finally I contacted them and found that EDF had sent the wrong information on the wrong request form so we have to start again!
