New Kid on the Block

 

Willy Drie, the young calf who is now living here, still scares Chick and Chucky because of his frolicking way of moving through the world. He scares Chucky more than Chick. I don't know that is because Chick is more courageous than her brother, or because she is smarter (or both). Obviously she has figured out that although Willy Drie loves to jump, he cannot possibly jump that high.

Surprise

So I'm engaged - ready to do a registered partnership next week - and that means: gifts. Even though I tell my friends I'll be really happy if they just show up, in a happy state, some still decide they want to give a present. This gift wrap contained two very nice glasses, engraved with the date, given by a friend who cannot attend the ceremony next week.

Obviously, Chick loves the wrapping better than the content. She uses it as an observation point, spying on her brother elsewhere on the table. And there's no use denying - she does look good in blue.

We All Do Our Bit

'Chick has a new pastime: cleaning the canal,' said Inge. I decided to test her assertion and threw a plastic bag in the water. Chicky needed no encouragement and jumped into action.
