Month: December 2021

He’s coming … he’s coming.  Aunty Wayne is coming back … oops, make that Uncle Wayne … but he is nice enough that he could be an Aunty!  He’s been near, he’s been far, he’s wrestled Polar Bears (at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery), he’s been back to Toowoomba, and now he’s coming here … to see me … and my convertible! 

I have been spending a lot of time in my convertible.  I love it … love it … love it!  And I love Mummy Sooz for getting it for me.  I’ve heard the story now … Kaz wanted to hang out for the Red Barn for Nigey, but she hasn’t been able to find it yet … so rather than have me have nothing, Sooz insisted on buying me the convertible.  Have I said how much I love it?

Sooz and Kaz went over to visit Mimi the other day.  She’s a lucky cat too … she gets her own Christmas Tree and Christmas Cracker.  It’s just a shame she doesn’t seem happier.  I have heard that some cats are more highly-strung (oops, what a bad choice of words!) than others – but I don’t think this is what it is with Mimi … she just looks so worried!  It might have been because her mother (my Aunty M) was off to have something done at the Hospital … it turned out to be nothing really but I can understand how Mimi would have been worried about her.  

I have a new friend.  Who knew the Mummies would bring a dog into the house … but they have.  And he seems nice enough.  His name is Tagus (like Haggis but with a T and spelled differently).  He seems to like being here too … but I am going to have to have a word with the Mummies about all these other folk they are bringing into the house … like More…eese. There won’t be enough room for me on the table or the couch or anywhere if they keep going at this rate.

Me … a rev head? well, yes, it seems so. Sooz bought me a red convertible and 1 loved it as soon as I saw it! It’s fast – and comfortable – and it must have cruise control because it didn’t crash when I fell asleep in it – I told you it was comfortable!  So it now has pride of place in my play area. I’m not sure how I’m going to explain it to my paper bag.

Aunty M came over this afternoon to give me a proper ride in the convertible. It’s a convertible for goodness sake Mummies – it has to move … and I can’t be the one pushing it because I have to be in it to steer. Aunty M understands that. And she didn’t mind giving me a push because she already does it with my friend Mimi. 

What was Aunty M doing around here? Bringing the Mummies afternoon tea, delivering some gift cards someone had sent for us, having a splendid cup of tea, and playing with me of course.  Everyone needs a break from their errands from time to time and I’m just glad she chose to come here so she could push me in the car because we know neither of the Mummies offered!

But how did they know it was me in the Zen Garden?  It could have been anyone.  What’s that… Footprints?  Nah, they could belong to anyone! Didn’t I see another cat in here the other day?  Didn’t it go in to Kaz’s office and play behind the door – you know, where the Zen Garden is? 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  It’s not that I do anything else that would upset them … if I did they wouldn’t have brought me my own Christmas Tree.  Yes, you read that correctly. Sooz and Kaz must have felt bad after my last post because they have now bought me my own felt tree to play with … and they’re left it where I can reach some of the hanging doovers … so points to them! 

They came back all happy last night – they’d been out on a boat – cruising up and down canals in the area looking at Christmas lights.  Me?  They left me here alone again … to make my own fun – which had nothing to do with the Zen Garden or any other mischief they think I might have been into. 

It was a busy day here yesterday – even before that.  Sooz went out with P for a while;  Kaz and I stopped here and made sure Michael did a good job – he was here to do the yearly pest control visit and to check for termintes (he didn’t find any – phew).  He was pretty nice actually and had a knocking stick (he hit it against the walls checking for those pesky termites) that he let me play with.  He was very chatty too … he’s been to Africa on Safari and they’re just waiting for the borders to open up again so they can go travelling again. 

Then, after he’d gone, Sooz and P came back and they had a “meeting” – something to do with Kaz’s TAFE course.  It went on for ever … I’m glad I don’t have to go to meetings.  I think they’re fairly boring, and, if the Mummies don’t mind me saying, a huge waste of time.
