A New Year

Went to stay over with friends last night - took Jensen with us - 1st time for a sleep-over for him!

We had a superb evening, a mix of German and Sri Lankan fare with copious amounts of wine and, of course, champagne. We met some new people and caught up on news with those that we had met before.

It was a lovely relaxed occasion and we eventually retired to our rooms in the early hours of the New Year.

Our friends house is a converted mill right next to a river. During the summer the river was very low and the mill pond almost empty. Yesterday, though, the river was roaring like a train past the house. It took me an age to drop off to sleep. J in the meantime was in the arms of morpheus and had been prior to going upstairs - he does not remember a lot!!

Jensen was impeccably behaved. He won the hearts over of 6 new people and also made of friend of Fifi, our friends fluff-ball of a cat. Fifi has never met a dog before so was quite happy to make Jensen's acquaintance, she had no fear. We could not believe how well they get on. We now know that in the future she will be fine when we visit with him. He slept in our bedroom and made no attempt to climb in with us, he just settled down on the rug my side of the bed and slept. He was sooooooo good!

A good end to 2009 and a good beginning to 2010.
