 Nothing seems to happen very fast here in the mornings. The mistress appears stiff and, on a go, slow. She was sitting looking at the news on the laptop and always looked at the Timaru Herald in the mornings. Auntie and Uncle were in it today, so great excitement. She rang them up and asked if they were doing autographs. It is not every day someone in the family becomes famous. 

The Love Birds went out this afternoon, to our house I believe. The Mistress wanted to water her pots and had His Lordship drag the hose out the front, so she didn't get her feet tangled up and do another injury. He is pretty good at helping when he is asked. He said she just has to ask, so she does. I hear he put her car through the car wash today and they are so happy to see it very clean. It sounds like a bird had been busy on the side, plus road film. 

So while they were out, we climbed up on a fence where there is an empty section. There is a walkway that goes past the back of the house. We saw people walking their dogs and their friends. We made sure they didn't see us though. They could have had a coronary seeing us on the fence. We hid in a branch that came over the fence. It was a nice day for people getting their exercise and the dogs all looked to enjoy their walks. The Estuary is not far from this track and that is where Trixie and I went one day exploring. 

We also heard machinery working somewhere. So, we walked to the side boundary fence and could see some high Viz fellas sealing the road. We might explore that one either tonight while humans sleep and no chance of them being in their gardens. 

The Mistress went out tonight and Zeus followed her to the door and went out with her. He is not supposed to go out that door, but he often comes in it. Now the Mistress was driving so slowly so Zeus didn't get run over. She is a careful driver most of the time. It is only occasionally she would get a speeding ticket, and that was only while we were away, earlier in the year. I think she might have learned a lesson here. They cost her a lot of money, awe, don't tell her I told you this!!
