I wonder when this mistress is actually going to leave the house.  That is now 2 days in a row she has been home all day and night. I don't think she is sick. I can see her smiling and laughing and talk's to people on the telephone. She has had another day on the computer getting her family tree up to date. I hear she has made great progress with it, and we have to have a happy mistress!!

So, all I can do is read my books and digest these complicated words that I have no idea what they mean. We don't use such words in our Gnome world, but if I want to understand this human I live with and of course her partner now too, then I must try harder. I do want to go away with them again, so I need all this information to register in my tiny brain. 

My mates here are all keen for me to teach them, but if she doesn't go out then what chance do I have. Overnight is never long enough to teach these fellas as they ask more and more questions that I know nothing about. There are arguments here at times and I have to quieten them down, so they don't wake the mistress up. 

That fella with the Wheelbarrow seems to think he knows everything but he is so wrong on all counts. He has no idea about this human as I have studied her for hours on end and he is only a fairly new bloke to take up residence here. If he carries on like this, he will be voted out the jolly door in the cold. 

I would rather he played with those pin-pong balls in his wheelbarrow. We do not like how he disrupts everyone, and his days are numbered inside.

I must report a conversation I overheard this afternoon. She seemed to be talking to another Gnome collector. They had quite a chat from what I heard and there have been texts flying backwards and forwards. Sounds like he has some Gnomes signed by famous people, for example, the prime minister. Huh, how did he do that? The mistress took me to the Beehive, and I was not allowed past the barrier and had to be in storage with her handbag and phone. They must have thought we were dangerous or had a bomb or something. How could a mere Gnome get a bomb into parliament? We went through the X-ray machine, and nothing was detected. Humans, I just do not understand them. So, this fella has given my mistress some ideas today, and she's been googling ever since. Watch this space because I reckon all sorts of things could happen. 

Thought for the day.

Bless my eyes
