Day 65

Hello everyone. Simba here.

Well, I am here, but, as you can see, I don’t want to face the world at the moment. No. I don’t. I’m hoping no one can see me, actually. Especially Leo.

Leo is in a bad mood. Someone has stolen his word.

Inflammatory. Totally inflammatory!

Yes. That’s the one. Well, not the “totally” bit.

It’s something to do with the Home Office.  We have a Home Office where they sit in front of those computer things, but nobody has said it’s inflammatory.

Mice Alive!  He’s talking about politics. We don’t do that, do we!

I don’t know what politics is, actually. I don’t suppose Leo does either, but he won’t admit it. There’s been a lot of it about, recently, hasn’t there. A bit like that virus.

What I do know is that when they are in that Home Office they do use the word “dog”. That’s a rude word. Isn’t it? Dogs are inflammatory.

That’s a matter for debate. They sponsor a guide dog so that’s why they use the word.

Why don’t they sponsor a guide cat?
Because there aren’t any!

Why not!  I’m interested now. I could be a guide cat.  That would be great fun for me. Quite rewarding, I think.

My day is getting worse. The thought of the White Delight pretending to be a guide cat is alarming. Even for me. Oh, White Delight, if you saw a mouse while you were guiding one of them, you’d run after it. Wouldn’t you.  If you saw a source of food of any kind, you would stop to eat it. (I saw you eating bird food the other day.) I suppose that’s what you mean by rewarding. And….. if one of them wanted to touch you, they wouldn’t know which end to approach first.

Oh No. I wouldn’t want to be touched at the wrong end.

Who does?  Anyway. I suggest we restart our day and do something useful and rewarding.

Love Leo and Simba xxxxxxx
