Day Seven into my 'solitary confinement' and things at "Riverbend" are moving along just nicely. So far, my "one spoon, one fork, one knife, one cup, plus two plates - one for Rover and one for me" routine is working well, although I should've added "... and wash them at least once a week".
The drawbridge is pulled up and the portcullis down and life at River-bend is as peaceful as ever. The onset of the cooler weather has given both Rover and me a welcome excuse to go to bed earlier and stay in it longer. Come eight o'clock and "Lights out" really means lights out!
