Approximately a year ago, well before it occurred to us that we could use a camera, AJD took advantage of an afternoon nap I was taking to give me what was simultaneously the most adorable and most surreal moment of my entire life to date. We have endeavoured to recreate it for you.
What happened was approximately this: I had fallen asleep on AJD's bed, and while I was asleep, he convinced the entire Wild Republic to encircle me. I was sleeping with someone the original time this happened; we didn't remember who, so in the reenactment Sir Theo did the honours, as he's the hardest to fit into a circle.
Here's the same thing, from a slightly different angle.
AJD was very proud of this idea and its execution. He was particularly proud of his ability to withstand the temptation to wake me up, and left me to wake up on my own.
And so I woke up, surrounded by inquisitive furry faces. If you've never had this experience, I strongly urge you to get someone to help you remedy the fact, because there's really nothing quite like it.
After we had completed the reenactment, we discovered to our chagrin that Navarre had been omitted from the fun; he'd been playing around on AJD's computer and missed the summons. He was very disappointed, and AJD was very jealous because he hadn't got to be the one in the middle of the circle, so I swapped places with him and we let Navarre be featured in the middle.
Sir Theo later took advantage of the gathering to deliver a rather lengthy address on the topic of meadow vole politics. This sounds really dull, but the animals seemed to find it entertaining; at least, none of them cut out early.

Anyway, so there you go: the cutest and most surreal moment of my life, recreated photographically for your pleasure.
