Clingy

 

It’s easy to anthropomorphise animal behaviour to suit your own mood 

But take a close look at this photo, taken just before getting up this morning 

Dorothy is on the left, Mary to the right.

Both with a part of their body pressed close to mine.

And overlooking everyone is Albert, wide eyed as usual.

Albert never sleeps in my bedroom.

Every morning he would be found in the back bedroom on his own or else sat with Winifred in the kitchen reading chair. 

But since Winnie died he has slept on the window seat, facing us.

Two nights in a row.

Funny what you notice
