Today being Thursday we went to the Hospice to serve lunch. By we I mean Lotte, Andy and me.
Lotte is always welcome there and the staff and some of the clients make a great fuss of her; they tolerate me because they need my help and they fell in love with Andy last week when I took him there for the first time.
It's a bit tough when a visitor takes your seat in the car
OK that's better. An armadillo can see so much more from here
Checking he is in the right place
Every volunteer must sign in before starting
Don't shut the door please. I'll stay quietly in this locker.
Andy likes to learn all he can
We left the Hospice and the next stop was the library where Andy helped me find the book for which I was looking.
A smart armadillo can find his way around computerised records
Now that book should be just about here...
And after all that excitement a little armadillo knows that he should rest so that he can be ready for the next set of adventures.
This looks like a good place to rest
And just between you and me, Andy is not a young chap at all. He was made in 1989 so that makes him 22 years young.
We are enjoying having Andy to visit with us. I wonder where he is off to next.

What fun you’re having with Andy. He reminds me of my adventures with Flat Stanley a few years ago when my granddaughter sent him to me for a visit.

Poor Andy must be exhausted. No rest for the weary, I suppose.

It’s raining today so he probably will have a quiet day at home on his own.

He caused plenty of comments at the library. One child wanted to take him home with her.
