Manon & Pinot + November 18th

The other day, Manon-chan, one-year-old French girl from London, visited us with her mother. There weren’t any toys for her here, she played with me, patting me on the head, grabbing my tail with all her might and so on. 
“Pinot! Pippy, P…”
“Ah, au secours!”
 
This morning, my mum said: “You know, we moved back to Tokyo from London today exactly four years ago, on the 18th of November 2012. (with a sigh) Well, it’s been four years since then. Time flies, doesn’t it?”
“Yah, absolutely!” I nodded my head.
She kept talking and told me that after a long flight, how much she felt relieved at the airport when she saw me again sitting in the cage.
 
“Mum, I’m happy. I love my life here in Tokyo with my dad and you. I was very ill this spring, but I’m fit these days, you know.”
“Pinot, I love you, totally, completely, definitely, heartily, entirely, eternally, sincerely, er… ” she listed up all the adverbs she knew, and embraced me softly and narrowed her eyes.
 
“Drink to our health!” my dad shouted for joy.
“Happy life in Tokyo! Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
We happily made a toast.
