I’m getting slowly worse. I can barely walk now without a huge amount of pain. So not great. The bad weather eased off this afternoon and I managed to get the horses and ponies out into their respective fields. Waffle was awful and turned around at the last moment to escape. I tracked him down trying to scoff as much sheep lick as fast as possible, told him what I thought of him and limped him back to rejoin his better behaved friends.
Meanwhile, in the house someone stole and ate half a loaf of homemade bread. We don’t know who was the perpetrator – it is between Monster and Ted. Ted has form – at Mum’s he would steal anything he could find and Monster has been known to get on the kitchen table. Floss reckons they worked as a team. OH thinks it was Pepper but she has an alibi – she was with me while I was putting out the horses and ponies (I think – but to be perfectly honest, I really don’t know as my brain is very muddly at the moment). I am blaming Ted, Floss is blaming the Monster/Ted combo and OH is blaming Pepper!
Now, I ask you, is that the face of a thief?

Opportunity? All
Motive? Any
Who Stands to Gain? Pepper, Monster and Ted say, “Who likes bread the most?”
Further evidence? Was there any butter missing?
Follow up? Was there any jam missing?
Were there any footprints?
Conclusion:
The answer seems to be Floss or OH, possibly working together!
PS Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Poor Pepper: is she guilty or being framed? Only the three desperados (Pepper, Monster, & Ted) would know for sure.
I’m hoping that your name will pop up soon on the Epidural Lottery, otherwise known as the epidural wait list. I’m hoping that your daughter will be staying a bit longer to help Livestock Manager Pepper take care of the outside family members.
Sorry but it was Ted’s “Evil Twin, Skippy” who stole the bread.
