Mystery Resolved

24 October, 2015
Posted in: Dublin, Ireland, Travel

We had guests to dinner in September. I offered one of our guests gin, but when I went to the cupboard, there was no gin. I was a bit surprised but, you know, it could have been finished off at any stage. He had wine instead.

The Princess spent some time painting and cleaning the shed in September (stay with me here). She plans to sleep out there with her friends for her birthday in April. She is planning ahead. As part of her clean out, she decided that an old dusty suitcase which looked like it hadn’t been moved in years should be disposed of. In fact she had used it before the summer as a prop in a film she and her friend were recording. It hadn’t rattled then but it did now. Inside were two empty gin bottles. For ages we were all baffled.

Then we realised that we had swapped houses this summer with a French family with two teenage children. I am really looking forward to the teenage years.

    Did you get any feedback from the French family? I thought you coped admirably with their cat and dog – but did Hodge live up to expectations?

    Hodge shamefully cosied (sp?) up to them the moment they arrived. If you are looking for loyalty, don’t go for a cat.
