These humans are on the ball today, and so is the cat, as he knows his family is currently flying a long way across the world. He was very quick to get into the Mistress's side of the bed his morning. She wondered where he was as his breakfast was ready. His Lordship announced where he was, so he stayed for a little while until she went in and took the sheets off the bed to wash. He was far from impressed with this rude awakening. 

Breakfast was over and a call for action on the domestic side. It's so hard for the Mistress in the mornings, because the arthritis lets her know easy does it. There was no peace here today, as the washing machine and drier were going then the vacuum cleaner, by which time His Lordship jumped into action and took over while the Mistress washed the floors.  This house has a very different mop to our one at home. This one is a steam mop and not so hard on her back.

This afternoon they went out as was sunny in places. Being by the sea we get a lot of sea fog and today a Pea Soup fog. The Humans decided there was a gnome friend of mine in the car and had to be delivered to Scarborough Fare. You see there are some pretty crazy ladies called the Sumner Dippers and they like Gnomes. The Mistress had promised the cafe she would donate one to their cafe as these ladies swim at 7am each day 365 days a year then go and get a coffee to warm up. The Mistress had given a lady a topless lady gnome, and while we visited someone placed this topless Gnome right in front of me and I had nowhere to look. Cor blimey. What a carry-on for a mere Gnome. Nobody listened when I suggested they move this twit further back. I had never been so embarrassed. I heard later that she fancied me and that's why she was plonked right in front of me. Now this is where this carry-on ended. Once she realized I had Trixie her mood changed. Women!!

The owner was very happy to receive this fellow. The Dippers would be sure to notice him right at the counter. These ladies are to name this fellow. Crickey I wonder what on earth they will come up with. The Mistress thinks it might be Henry!!

So, we say farewell to our holiday in South Shore tomorrow and prepare for our holiday on a plane to Tauranga on Monday. We are remaining on our best behavior because I want to meet the pilot of this plane. We also know a certain Air Hostess who may be flying too, so this could be so much fun.
