Adventure Pants

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

Our Easter Friday was pretty quiet. My day started, as it always does, by being awoken by cats who want to be fed and to run around in the garden, peeing in things.

They are simple chaps with simple pleasures.

After a while I looked up to see Jasper sitting on one of the garden chairs, looking at me. 

Someone left the cat out in the rain,
I don't think that I can take it

Just to be clear, the back door was open. But sometimes he likes to sit and judge me anyway. 

In the evening, we went to see Loulou and Tiger along with Mo. We had the usual great time but there was a little bit of sadness on account of they will both be leaving us soon for a while. 

They are taking a prolonged sojourn in Europe (mainly the UK, but also France and Sweden) and we are unsure what the plan is after this. Undoubtedly, we will see them again but maybe they won't be our neighbours again. 

That is a shame. They were our first proper friends in Aotearoa. 

It was the usual night of filth. But also I learned a new term. "Adventure Pants". 

Loulou has just bought herself a pair and now I want some. They are pants for having ADVENTURES in! Pants with lots of pockets! The sort of pants you would wear for crowd-surfing or dancing until dawn!

This is what my life has been missing!

ADVENTURE PANTS.
