The house is quiet here again. Loverboy went home early today as he had to do the chooks at 9am today.  Then the phone calls to the daughter trying to get the illustrators sorted. The mistress is very frustrated with this process, and not finding the technology very easy at all.

She has been in and out of here a lot today making me very dizzy and of course never sure as to how long she will be. We did head outside again, but Trixie and I are accustomed to the lovely warm house and that is brass monkey weather out there. The ping pong balls got a thrashing again and lots of fun and laughter. We let some of our friends inside for a while, but we made them help us to put them back in the wheelbarrow before they went back out. Mr. Rainbow Man noticed a chap take a couple of ping pong balls outside with him. Awe I hope she doesn't notice any missing. He could well get into trouble, but I say this is his problem, not mine. I need to keep on the right side of the mistress I reckon. I don't want to end up outside permanently under any circumstances as I would miss out on so much that goes on around here. Being a secret spy is so much fun. 

I am trying to find out when the mistress is going away again, but she is not letting on yet. What I do know is, she has the Community patrol on Friday as he has golf on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so maybe this means she is not going down again this week. I have heard her say about changing a few things/activities in her life to accommodate this relationship. 

Overhearing some of their conversations is rather interesting. Her dearly beloved, says he wants to take the mistress fishing in the summer with his caravan. Now this is a very interesting project for a mere Gnome. Hmmm, I wonder if I get to go with them. Crickey I better stay on the right side of these two.

This is getting quite serious I reckon. So, watch this space!!!

Thought for the day.

Everyone has good days and bad days. 

There are times when you'd probably give, 

anything for an easier life.

But when you look back at occasions that

have seemed impossibly hard, and reflect on

how you came through them stronger, wiser

and with greater faith, I hope you will know that,

you just have to keep going.
