Slap and Trickle

Growly Bear has had a flat battery. His internal battery has been a bit low for a while. Today though it was the battery on his little skateboard. He couldn't get his skateboard to start again after he had been visiting Princess Kitty at The Cardigan. They had to borrow some jump leads from one of Princess Kitty's neighbours.

Growly Bear says when his battery is low you have to give it a good slap of volts to make it start. He says he has a special charger at home to put on it which should stop it happening again. He says it is called a Trickle Charger.

Princess Kitty and Growly Bear did have a lovely time together when he visited it though. They didn't have time to talk about the point of guinea pigs but it was in their thoughts. Princess Kitty made Growly Bear some lunch. She made grilled goats cheese on crumpets and a nice salad, followed by raspberries and mango sorbet, washed down by a mini bottle of Mateus Rose.

Growly Bear said the lunch tasted nice. He said he felt looked after. He asked Princess Kitty a lot of questions. Like what was in the sorbet. Where had she got the little bottle of wine. Had she thought about her carbon footprint when she bought the out of season raspberries.

Growly Bear and Princess Kitty agree that their time together today has set them up for the week. Princess Kitty thinks their love is a bit like Growly Bear's battery. It needs a trickle charge when they are apart to help keep the spark going. And it needs the occasional slap of volts to keep it going properly.
