Visited the Thames today.

18/2/23

Off we went for our day out in the mistress's favorite car ever. She just loves this car, as we cruise along on another sunny day. I am perched in my usual place on the cushion, with my seat belt on, and looking out for those dreaded red and blue lights. The road is good and evidence of the cyclone damage in places. 

The mistress left me in the car while she explored the township market. I enjoyed the peace and human people watching. Their market is on the street outside shops, and she parked the car in a perfect place. I saw all sorts of human behavior. But I won't divulge. It's just Gnome business. I have more things to explore in my books, and so much to tell my mates at home. I've come to the conclusion that humans are just weird. 

But there are some who are kind and take me on holiday, so I won't say anymore because I could get left on the side of the road.

The mistress was dying to tell me about something she saw at the market, and she made sure she told me she didn't buy it. Phew!!

She thought that the people living here are very creative. She liked the vibe here. Put it this way I have a feeling we will be back up there next summer house sitting.

Now she kidnapped a Gnome from a great place today. She says it's got Welcome across the barrel that the Gnome is sitting in. His head wobbles on a spring and of course, she had to buy it. OH HECK where is this going to fit. She better buys a trailer. Oh, hang on, no tow bar. No, not a good idea to get one fitted, because she would fill it for sure.

After chatting to a bloke, he recommended she drive us to the Coromandel, as the road is good, but the rest of the roads are closed.

Off we go cruising along and a few S... words about the damage we saw. Those clever road workers made it perfect for us and lots of stops to admire the view. A shame the tide was out, but we did enjoy our stops.

Beautiful sea, so calm, and we could have stayed here for ages. I spotted some people fishing from boats and some on the rocks. 

I wonder if my mates at home have caught any fish yet. They have always got the BBQ ready. 

 

Great view from this tree. I couldn't even read my book as it was a perfect place. Oh, the mistress is so good to me. 

Just look at that Sexy car. Aye hang on, what does that actually mean. I overheard the mistress talking about it the other day. OMG something else to look up. I thought I was retired.

We went as far as Tapu then turned around and headed back. I have a feeling we will be going back next Saturday. The mistress announced that she would plan the day better next week, as she didn't want to be late getting back to Paeroa. After all, she has the resident cat to feed and talk to. 

Millie appeared after we got home and had plenty to say for herself too. Food was requested by this fluffy thing and gee she is so demanding with a very growly meow. The mistress seems to know what she is saying, so I just mind my own business.

Now look here cat, those whiskers tickle and stop licking my book. What does she think she is doing. The mistress says she's fascinated with me. Now look here cat. I am minding my own business here and I suggest you do the same. 

Thank goodness she has gone and left me in peace. Shes so fluffy compared to other cats we have looked after, but she is not keen on getting brushed yet. The mistress says this could take a few more days yet. I think the scissors would do the trick. No knots then aye.!!

That mistress just growled at me.
