Hello Croix, MK and All,
Croix, it's absolutely gorgeous that you are reading to Sumo. I can imagine him being a bit miffed though about not having the chair to himself now, though I'm sure he's still secretly happy you are home. I'm glad he is supervising and taking care of you.
I laughed at your quote about exercise 😂 Yes, having a doughnut that talks to you is quite helpful, especially if the attendant is off with the fairies.
Yes, I think the kiwis are operating in shifts. They tend to imbibe while at the brewery until inebriated and then collapse in the igloo. But as they sober up they toddle off back to the brewery. So the kiwi pile keeps replenishing itself in a continuous cycle. This could make an interesting subject for a wildlife documentary on patterns in nature.
Rice, ham, pineapple and salad does sound like a deluxe hospital meal MK. My dad was in hospital over the Christmas and New Year period and the food situation was indeed dismal. They were short staffed in terms of both kitchen and medical staff. So I do wonder Croix if that was a factor for you as well. I'm glad you had the hear-a-books.
Wishing everyone a lovely day!
Big hugs to you all,
ER
