Moonshine is skating on thin ice around here. I caught him trying to get into the fridge. He tried and tried, and nobody would help him. He needs to grow a foot or two taller. Because nobody would help him, he gave up in disgust.  He reckons he saw His Lordship putting his beer in the fridge. Stupid man, he should have hidden it while putting it in there. That fella doesn't miss a beat. I will be keeping an eye on him, as I do not trust him. 

Thank goodness the rest of the alcohol is under lock and key and he still hasn't found it yet. These humans cleaned up outside this afternoon. The Mistress had to slow down and get His Lordship's help. They had been out to goodness knows where and she was tired and wanted the area tidy from the winter leaves that were still hanging around. She is very pleased as now the area looks great. 

His Lordship also sorted her hose sprinkler system for her. She says he has to earn his keep and is glad that a male brain can sort these technical things out for her. Earn his keep is strong words.

There is a Gnome door stop at the front door, now he has to earn his keep too. He is constantly holding the door open in the daytime and some evenings too when the weather is warm. Some days when the humans are in and out, that Gnome doesn't know whether he is Arthur or Marther. He gets kicked around a bit and he is getting very tired of this treatment. The Mistress says that this is his job, and he is to like it or lump it. Everyone here has their rolls to play.
