Shy Boy has been good to me while I've been taking things easy. He's created the swankiest bed I've ever slept in. It's made up of bubble wrap, 'Comfybed', a city council direct debit form, a packet of pine nuts and several sheets of layout paper. I think that's everything. I do admire his enthusiasm.

I had a brief wander under the sofa while Helena cleaned the house out. The bubble wrap has gone now. Pity. I wonder whether Shy Boy will find some more. Hmm....

Yoghurt and honey time now me thinks.

Shy Boy was seriously excited yesterday when he hurried home with an enormous quantity of folded paper. He was quick to take it up to the loft and create the most delightful bedding.

He can be very thoughtful at times.
