1/2/24

 His Lordship had instructions to wake the Mistress at 8am today. She was sound asleep when she was woken five minutes later. He said she looked so peaceful too and didn't want to disturb her. It's no wonder I say because her light was on then off, on then off. She decided to read for a while, so this meant we were restricted as to what we could get up to. The hours ticked by when she tried yet again. She reckoned it was after 2am.

We waited a while for her to settle, and His Lordship was in dreamland well and truly at this time. The coast was clear, so we headed outside. We were trying to find the kiwis under a bush. She calls them Hydrangea flowers. It is so full of flowers we had to crawl in to find them. I say it is about time she gave these a prune. We counted 5 kiwi and one of them had an egg ready to hatch. These fellas do not like coming out in the daytime and I forgot they were there. I shall drop some hints to the Mistress that this bush needs a tidy-up. Some of the flowers are almost dead. Trixie reminded me of her health status and that maybe it was too soon for her to be getting out there. I shall bide my time on this. The kiwis were happy though foraging in the undergrowth. 

There were also a couple of chaps lying down and couldn't get up again. I think they had passed out on that happy stuff they smoke. They thought we were going to pick them up and stand them on their feet, but I had news for them, and they didn't like it at all. There are two others out the gate and they sit and smoke all day while watching what goes on in the neighborhood. They don't usually pass out because they pace themselves. I reckon they need to teach these others a thing or two. They are younger and more stupid and haven't grown up yet. At least they were not into the alcohol. That was a bonus.
