The dogs were off doing something else today, so Nikola went down to the lake without them to enjoy a little quiet time on her own. After rowing out a ways from shore, she dropped her nets and then relaxed in her sailboat, enjoying the soft splash of the water as it rippled around the boat. Clouds began to gather, however, and so she took the boat back to shore, securing it just as the first droplets of cold rain began to fall. There were three fish in her nets and as she gathered them in, she was met with a pair of retrievers that looked at her as though she had betrayed them by going out without them. "I looked for you, but you were nowhere to be found!" she protested as they woofed at her, then relented and trotted ahead of her back to the house. Handing the fish over to Ben, she bade him take them to Mayor Ella at the Town Hall once the rain abated.

Another cold day, and snow still covered the land, and on her journey towards the lake, Petunia enjoyed the sparkling frost on the trees and hedges. Here and there a few round little robins sat on branches or hopped around in the hedgerows looking for food - they looked very cheerful and sweet, although she knew well that they could be quite aggressive to other small birds. Although it was cold, the sky was clear and blue, so she enjoyed rowing out on to the lake and waiting for the net to signal that she'd caught something.

After a while, she felt the twitching on the ropes, and pulled up the net, to find another three fish. That pleased her, because she could again donate two and sell one of them, so Petunia went home happy and contented with her day.

Today the dogs were determined not to be left behind and were waiting for Nikola at the water's edge, already engaged in staring contests with the brave fish who dared come too close. Donovan and Orla both proved quite proficient today and between them and Nikola's nets, they caught four more fish. The two retrievers practically danced as they played excitedly once the boat was secured and they headed into the house. Today, she took the fish into town herself as she had work to do at the castle.

It was the last day of the fishing competition, and although Petunia knew that she needed to get back to learning her new profession, nevertheless she wanted to try her best to win a prize. Besides, she had enjoyed the experience of learning to row the little boat and to fish. So today she made sure to bait the net particularly well with worms, before casting it into the cold water of the lake.

She sat back - though not too far back, otherwise she might have overbalanced - to wait for something to happen. She thought about the nice warm fire that she had left in her cottage so that she would be able to warm herself up at the end of the day. And she'd make a soup with her vegetables, too, which would warm her up from the inside. In fact, she was having a nice little daydream about being warm and cosy, and it was only when her hand started to hurt a bit that she realised that the ropes were jerking quite sharply.

She pulled up the net, feeling that it was a lot heavier than it had been previously, and was tugging harder. Heavens above, had she caught a monster, to be that strong and heavy? She braced her feet against the side of the boat and hauled a bit harder, until she managed to get it up to the edge. As it tumbled into the boat, she gasped. It wasn't a monster at all, of course...but it was five, yes five, fish!

She dispatched them into her bucket, and then rowed for the shore, deciding that with this many fish, she could donate a couple, sell a couple, and still have one for supper.
