Spread Eagle - Puss Cat Bed

It's 1.03am and I'm at my computer eating Coco-pops and drinking tea, because as Adrienne is away, I get the pleasure of sleeping with Jarvis. That's why I'm presently at my computer and not fast asleep, as the little blighter is spread eagled side-ways across the bed. After being kicked in the face for about the tenth time, I decided enough was enough and had to get up. How on earth does Adrienne sleep with him? Hold on, I seem to remember in the dim distant past a certain wife of mine in the same sleeping position each night. Ah ha bingo, he's definitely his Mothers Son!

Back later...

This morning Jarvis and I went to play group as I wanted to keep it nice and low-key, after the horrendous night I had with Mr. Fidget, son of Mrs. Fidget. Play group is always nice and pleasant, with Monday's having the added attraction of being the quietest day there.

When we got back Jarvis and I had a lovely lunch in the sun, sitting on his Bob The Builder sofa, on the front porch. Once we'd finished I uttered the words that are guaranteed to get Jarvis up off his bum..."So who wants to go up into the loft then?" Now Jarvis only has to hear the word loft or hear the creak of the loft door opening and he's on his feet, busting to climb the ladder and throw his toys, or anything else for that matter down the steps.

Today's trip into the loft had a serious purpose though, as we had to get the cot down, set it up and see if it fitted into the main bedroom. I knew that it would be a tight fit in our shoe box house, but needed to get it done as the days are looming ever nearer. Plus Jarvis is always a help when doing stuff in tight spots, as I'm always dropping screws into places I can't reach, and who else can I send under the bed to retrieve them than my little man, just like one of those poor mites used in the cotton mills of the Industrial Revolution.

So yeah, with Jarvis' help, we successfully put his old cot together and managed to fit it next to the main bed with not a millimetre to spare. Jarvis tested it out for about sixty-seconds, which I think was the same lenght of time he spent in it as a baby!
