A supporting role

The buds on this rose bush and me today.

Over to the house to collect Olive and check on Calvin. Hobbs is spending the day at the vets for an investigation under anaesthetic. S took him in on the way to work this morning, so that meant that Calvin was going to be home alone today. 

I stayed for a little while to keep him company, but midst having a stroke the little sod attacked me and stuck his claws in the back of my hand. I left him to fight with his own shadow. 

When I took Olive back in the late afternoon, Hobbs had returned and was tucking into his tea, he hadn’t eaten all day. Calvin was prancing around the house in the same humour as during the morning.
