There has been a hive of activity going on here today. These humans have been very busy bees. A discussion took place to help this poor grandson out this weekend of packing 400 Gnomes. Trying to find boxes that were large enough took a lot of work. They now have a head start for Saturday, and my job today and Saturday is to keep an eye on this packing business. These Gnome friends of mine are all extraordinary fellows and will be in storage for quite some time. They hope to continue with what the humans are doing to the planet. Some of them will be spies and sneak out from time to time. They will be bored out of their tree and need to keep occupied. Their unique and private way of informing the others about what is happening is truly fascinating. Some humans are rapidly polluting the atmosphere, which must be corrected immediately.

The paper these fellows were wrapped in, past my test, is very combustible. I observed what exactly she used and passed my test.

Newspaper is combustible

Supervising is an essential job I have been given, and I take it very seriously. The humans I live with are pretty good most of the time, but occasionally, the recycling bag has something that I grumble about. They usually get the guilt and put the item in the red bin. Argh, I admire them doing this.

The next very important job was taking the hems up on His Lordship's Jeans. First, he had to rig up a suitable light for the Mistress's aging eyes. Then she got into these, while His Lordship quietly suggested that while she was at it, he had two pairs of dress trousers to do as well: a black pair, ready for a coming 90th birthday, and a blue pair for their wedding, which is looming very fast. Her poor eyes have suffered from these highly dark colors. 

His Lordship cooked dinner again while she was a busy lady with all these pins and sewing machine.

This meant a glass of wine was required to assist with this challenging task. She really enjoyed the meal her darling cooked: braised sausages, peas, butternut squash, and potato mash. She reckons she will keep him on. He also processed the washing from the clothesline while she was busy with these other tasks. He knows exactly how she likes things done, and she is most impressed that she has found a keeper.
