4/9/23 - 5/9/23

 These 2 humans have been in and out a lot today. Goodness only knows what they get up to. I do know she had an ultrasound today on this Achilles business. What on earth is an ultrasound. The mistress claims that I need to look this up in my books. I did as requested, and now she has to wait for the doctor to phone her. 

There appear to be some flowers on the bench, and they are giving off a strong smell. We are not far away from them, and Trixie says her nose is itchy. I believe these bulbs may be from the mistress late mother's garden. 

My mates outside said there were some flowers missing so it looks like these are them. They said they were enjoying seeing them develop into blooms and were upset that she came out and cut them off the plants. Freesias apparently. Gnomes like watching nature change and evolve. There are some Camelias also blooming, and they watch the mistress come along and take the dead ones off as they are so messy, and she tries to keep them tidy. 

The mistress is itching to spend more time out there when the weather warms up a bit. But this Achilles problem may stop her in her tracks for a while. That fella with the wheelbarrow needs to bring it outside put the dead flowers in it and take them to the green bin. He has far too much to say at times and we reckon he needs to keep busy and help the poor old mistress out. 

I would help, but I am far too busy reading my books and simply have no time in my busy 24-hour days. I barely get any rest some days, because these blokes want answers to their many questions on humans. And as you know I am the only one here who can read and teach them. 

At dinner time last night, the mistress had his Lordship on cooking duties. It was steak and she knew he was a master at cooking these, but he had huge instructions about her steak, and that it was to be well done (cremated) and not see any red business. She had put some wedges in the air fryer, then stayed out his road. Her kitchen is far too small for 2 cooks, so she left him to it. The mistress was very impressed with the final results and advised him she would keep him on.

Last night the mistress went out as usual as was a Monday night group she attends. So, his Lordship and I were home alone. He is an interesting fellow to watch sometimes. He has figured out how to put Netflix on her TV and rather enjoys some movies. This bloke looks to be quite at home here and seems to fit in very well. If you ask me, he probably enjoys having the house to himself at times.
