At the Cafe

On Saturday mornings we meet our friends Robert and Jennifer at the Yellow House Cafe. That is what we do on Saturday mornings. When Aimee and Jessie are with us they come too and we take their worksheets for them to do over a drink of juice and a piece of chocolate brownie. Jessie finished a whole maths workbook in about 40 min. So i gave her the back of one of Aimee's rejected worksheets which I had printed off from here and there this morning. This is the picture Jessie drew. It is totally unprompted, has not arisen from any sort of conversation we have had. She told me it is Aimee, outside (you can see she is walking on grass and there is a sun and a cloud in the sky) and Aimee is thinking of herself stroking their cat Rani (see the thought bubbles rising from her head and the largest one has the picture of Aimee stroking Rani). I said to Jessie "where are you" and she said "inside".

Rani died a few weeks ago and we have had a number of matter of fact references to Rani and her death from Jessica.
