1/9/23

Crickey the alarm went off today. She didn't want to miss an appointment. That mistress isn't known for getting up early these days and politely informing me how long she sleeps is her business. 

The Dr is on the ball and changed her mind and said to have an ultrasound on Monday. The mistress has another excuse to sit down and elevate her foot, and her flu is getting better too.  She is far from impressed as it's a lovely day to get outside into the garden. OMG does this mean she will get planted in the garden beside my Gnome friends. The mind boggles. 

The mistress told her fella that she needed to get out there and tidy up and cut back some plants. This enforced rest is what is called for now and she must listen to her body. There is always another day. 

Some fella came here today and disturbed the peace and quiet. He mowed the lawns and what a noise he made. Those gnome fellas get dust and grass all over themselves and are not impressed, but when they look at the lawns, they change their mind as they now look so tidy.  Oh well, I guess the next rainfall will take care of their looks. It is important that they look good for my mistress. 

Rainfall, gosh I am so glad I don't live outside. I dislike water and the mistress knows this from our holiday when she tried to put me in the sea and catch the waves. Also, she tried washing me in the bathroom, at each place we stayed, but I really protested at this habit. We Gnomes don't wash. We like some dust and dirt. It took her a long time to realize this and was very glad when she stopped trying. 

Now that we are home again, she gets the duster and flicks it over us on the shelf. We don't dare say anything, because she could well put us outside, and I don't like frosts, rain, hail, or wind. I like the peace that I have inside and like to listen to conversations that go on here. 

I really have a dislike for being cold. I am used to the heat pump, and I guess you could say I am spoilt. Trixie agrees with me too. She doesn't have a lot to say at times, but like the mistress, I am beginning to read her mind and she reads mine too. That fella that visits, well they read each other's mind too. The mistress just needs to think about putting the jug on and he goes and does it without any words being said, and vice versa. Seems weird but I tell you they are in sync with each other. So, Trixie and I are learning how they do this. So, watch this space!!
