Paeroa

17/2/23

Thank goodness we are having another lazy day today. All this going here there and everywhere hurts my poor brain. I have just sat and read my books because I have a lot of research to do on those humans. 

The mistress especially. I really want to know what makes her tick and tock. I have a gut feeling this could be rather a large job for me. 

She decided to tidy up the car as everything was everywhere and I watched her tossing all sorts of things out, got crazy with her special duster, especially for the car only, and I am not to get any ideas about using it. That's for humans only because we Gnomes like a bit of dirt and dust around. That mistress doesn't like it one bit. She has a special hiding place for it, so it is always handy. It even has a long handle that extends to those inaccessible places.

I better watch out in case she uses it on me when I am engrossed in my book. She will hear about it that's for sure. Today, she picked up a huge box at her favorite shop here in Paeroa. OMG where does she think that is going to fit? What is in it I asked.?

MYOBB she says. This is a human business and not the Gnome business. I wonder if the daughter knows about this news. I think I better see about letting her know. 

Now the mistress has just clicked on this. Her special power picked up my signal. Oh, bother. 

There is now a huge concrete Gnome badly in need of paint in the car. She said a special lady wanted her to have it as it badly needs some paint and TLC. It is also very old. I wonder if it is older than the mistress. Gee, I better not ask! It might not be safe for me to do this. She announces that it is a good winter job for her. Especially when she can't play croquet. 

She has just told me that we will be up early tomorrow because we're going to the Thames as it's not far from here. She checked the roads, because of the cyclone and the neighbor here says there is a good market there. Well, I think she better leaves her wallet at home. My gut feeling tells me she is sure to buy more gnomes.!!

Now this resident cat here. She has an amazing life. She just sleeps all day and night. She didn't come in for breakfast, so the mistress took out her special medicine again. If she doesn't come in soon the mistress said she would take food out to her. What a spoiled cat. 

The mistress says she is adorable. You need to hear her meow. It is so loud, and I have never heard anything like it. It is more of a growl; she didn't stay in for long yesterday. Just long enough to eat and look around then back to the garage.
