Hey, I've got to tell you something. Last night when the mistress went to bed, she asked that cat if she was going to join her. Of course, it was a very cold night and Millie isn't stupid, she trotted down the passage jumped on the bed, had a pat, scratch, and many purrs later they both fell asleep. 

Then about 3am Millie let out a humongous meow. Rather loud in the middle of the night. She sure disturbed me because I was at a very interesting part of my book, which I am not telling you the topic as this is just Gnome business.

Today was sunshine after all the rain last night, but just down the road in Waihi, they had a nasty tornado rip through their houses this morning at about 8am. The mistress is mighty glad we weren't there because we head there on Thursday for a few days. She's not impressed about all these weather events that appear to happen all around us and just as well I think. 

I can just visualize us floating away on some of these forestry logs that are hanging around. Gee, I think we need life jackets.

Where we come from, we don't get these strange weather events, only earthquakes and that's enough for us as they were quite nasty and don't require any more in our lifetime.

Today we headed off in our car and zoomed to the Thames for lunch and a look around.

Hey, she didn't buy any Gnomes or clothes. AMAZING.........the daughter will be pleased!!

The mistress found a nice spot to park and look out at the view with the waves tumbling in and the sunshine. I must admit to you and not the mistress I really enjoyed the fresh air. She did a word find in a book for a while and almost went to sleep because I looked over my book and saw her eyes getting very heavy. Shhh don't tell her though.
