I cannot believe that Kaz finally got round to making up my bedroom … properly this time! I was going to ask her to put on my favourite colour sheets but in the end I decided that it would probably be best not to interrupt her as she and Wa (one of her brothers) busied themselves with the manchester.
Yes, Wa came to visit and it was good having a man around the house. Yes, I know Sooz and Kaz do their best, but it just isn’t the same as having someone with … what did they call it … hmmm … that’s right “male energy”. I’m not quite sure what that means because he doesn’t really seem all that different to them … he drinks coffee (well, they drink tea), he uses the computer (so do they) and he wears pants (so do they … most of the time), The only difference is that he seems to be obsessed with “the trawlers” – whatever they are. As far as I can tell they have something to do with prawns (note: the little green ones are not good enough) and spanners and crabs … or is that spanner crabs? That last one has something to do with tools … Sooz was saying they are “hard work” but a bit easier if you have the right “tools”. I don’t know … it’s all a mystery to me sometimes.
Kaz and Sooz seemed quite happy to have him here … and they certainly were making sure that I didn’t get to see that much of him while he was here … they were always whipping him out somewhere “down to the water” or “to Paradise Point for a picnic” or out to that Trivia thing they always seem to be going off to. Wa doesn’t seem to mind me that much … and vice versa. I let him share my bed with me … and I even woke him up yesterday morning … and it wasn’t easy. First I knocked with one paw and when that didn’t seem to work, I started bashing the door (to our room … not sure why he didn’t realise he had locked me out!) with both my hind legs. Finally at 5:30am he came out so we could have a cup of coffee and a chat … I think he understood when I told him that Sooz and Kaz don’t usually get up until late morning (heh heh …. and I think he may have believed me!).
