7/2/24

It is very quiet around here as His Lordship has gone back south for a few days as Golf is on the agenda and a few odd jobs need doing. The Mistress is enjoying the peace and quiet but is missing him. She reckons absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

She has been pottering around doing small chores, and this afternoon has been out painting. She got more on her hands than on the Gnomes from what I can see. By the way, I am now back on my shelf and my new friend is above me. I am delighted she put him up there, as it is so handy for us to talk. Last night I found out he likes to read stories about the adventures that Gnomes have. They are very different from the adventures that go on around here. I am hoping he will share his books with me. My large collection and variety will be sure to please him. 

Today is rubbish bin day and the Mistress took it very slowly. Neighbors offered to help but the Mistress is a determined woman and prefers to battle on. She thinks it's good for her to do some tasks within reason. Sitting down to rest afterward was pleasing to see. His Lordship would be pleased about this. He told her again this morning that she is looking better.

He has asked a lot of questions about the pole dancer beside him. It took me a while to figure out why the questions. Soon it clicked. Crickey this fella is a fast mover.  No flies on him. I intend to stay out of this situation. I have enough problems of my own to sort out. Trixie will look after her, so she can keep safe. I bet that fella who made that Gnome didn't expect a pole dancer at this house. He hasn't seen the bathroom yet, and the nude gnome on the toilet. The topless woman in the pool turned on the charm and almost fell over him. 

My new mate is above us.
