Perching here and gathering my thoughts ...

A haunting weekend

03 February 2004 ~ 11:36

Mark has already written much about our poor baby Luna who we had to have put to sleep on Saturday, so I won�t touch on that. Suffice to say, we are both still sad and missing her a lot, as is little Sky, her ratty friend. Sky is all alone now so we�ll have to see how she does and if she gets too lonely, we�ll get her a friend, probably a baby rat she can be a mummy to.

We had some friends to stay for the weekend, Matt & Nicky, a couple from Yorkshire (Northeast of England). Actually, Matt is from Massachusetts like Mark and also a Red Sox fan like him; Nicky is British. They came down Friday night and stayed until Monday morning, and we all visited The Tower of London on Saturday. On Sunday I went with them to Hampton Court, Henry VIII�s palace on the Thames, while Mark stayed at home.

We had a spooky experience at Hampton Court, which is famously very haunted. Nicky and I were in the ladies� room washing our hands when the door began opening and closing on its own. Nobody was there and it was an inner door so it couldn�t have been the wind that caused it.

So apart from the sadness of losing Luna it was quite a good weekend and nice to meet such a down-to-earth couple who, like us, are half British, half American.
