Hamilton to Paeroa

The mistress was very restless last night, probably worrying about the state of the roads. Being such a good and careful driver, I was impressed with her, but don't tell her this. She could get a swelled head. Jeepers you should have seen all the water in the paddocks. Not on the roads though. And the corn/maize, flattened and so sad says the mistress. The mistress gave me the job of looking out for water on the road and looking out for the red and blue lights. Gosh, it was rather busy this trip. An extra chore meant we were both very tired last night.

She took me to Te Aroha in the afternoon and for lunch. She had a paddle in a foot bath and tried to get me in their too, but NO way, Gnomes don't wash. She thought she would trick me I think and get the water to me. Look how close. I was not amused at all. It's far too close for me. I kept pulling my knees up too. These humans take a while to learn what Gnomes will and won't do.

The mistress did enjoy a roast meal last night, and she didn't even cook it either. She paid a slave to do this. At least it wasn't a Gnomes job. That is definitely not in my job description.

We live on love and I think she should too. But how do humans find love these days? I will have to consult my books. There has been no fella at home for a long time, only the bloke who had to sleep on the lounge floor and then flew out the next day.

It's been a busy holiday with all this stuff I have had to look up. It sure beats sitting on the shelf at home though.
