I've been working at home a lot lately, partly because I have needed to do quiet jobs and partly because I have been trying to cut down my travelling time and costs. It's been quite a revelation to see those daily routines that I didn't even know existed!

Today has been interesting to say the least. The window cleaners came and caused pandemonium. Rosie was so scared she wedged herself under my desk and in front of my feet and refused to come out. Archie just ran around yipping like a mad thing. David had told me of this strange phenomenon before but I'd not quite realised the extent of it.

After they'd gone and Rosie deemed it safe to come out, she was desperately trying to engage me to go in the garden with her. I enlisted the help of David with some biscuits for bribery and this was the result.
