Grrr the Mistress has been cooking up a storm again and poo the stink. She tried putting me outside again, but the climate was freezing, and I told her in no uncertain terms that I wasn't going outside. So I went to the garage, which was all very well, but she forgot to close the door. By this time His Lordship arrived. He too said it stunk. The Mistress assured him that he would enjoy the Chow chow. 

He assisted her at times and kept a check on the cooking process, and the bottling too. She always enjoys him helping as he knows what he is doing, and they work well as a team. I did notice he took off for the cleanup process, a typical bloke.

While I was out in the garage, I had a good chat with the fellas that are nearly finished being painted. Four of them stand on spades out in the garden. They think it is tough around here as the Mistress is always wanting the garden dug over. She has bulbs to put in and is eager to finish them as they have work to do. Her expectations are always high and says they too have to earn their keep. 

It is a tough life living here at times, because that Mistress, now that she is feeling better is very motivated and wants things done. I reckon His Lordship will have to get the branches that he cut down to finish cutting up for the bin this week. They wouldn't all fit in last week and they are obstructing the path to the shed. She is sure to be on his tail as he has brought a stronger saw to cut them up from Ashburton.

I do know she cannot get to the potting mix as she is re-doing 3 big pots for outside the gate so any day now, she will announce that today is the day!!
