Month: August 2022

The Mummies aren’t going off to see Aunty M in the Hospital in the afternoons now because she is back home with Mouse and Mimi. They miss going to see her but they are glad she’s back home again.

I have a new toy! Can you hear the excitement in my voice? It’s a wondrous and wonderful thing – like my rubber bands only bigger! In that it is a massive ginormous green rubber band. I love it! Almost as much as I love Stringey Thing. And almost as much a I love those buttery biscuits M Kaz brought home from Aldi today: Palmiers.

Is there nothing those Mummies won’t do to keep me happy? As well as putting a bed for me on their bed (and letting me help them make their bed), they have also put another comfy set-up in the second bedroom for me and I love that too. Just a pity there are not more hours to sleep during the day. Mind you, I do my best to stay active at night if I’ve had a good sleep during the day – making as much noise as I can, otherwise how would the Mummies know where I was.

She’s home … she’s home – the Mummies picked Aunty M up from Hospital this morning and gave her a lift home. I bet Mimi was excited to see her Mummy home after almost a week – and it wasn’t even as if Aunty M had been able to say goodbye to her – the goodbye you get when a Mummy is going off for a day (or overnight) just isn’t the same as when they know they’re going to be gone for longer. Yes, Mimi would have known something was up when Mouse took Aunty M’s pyjamas and sequined bedroom slippers out with her that day – but not enough that Mimi didn’t keep searching the house for Aunty M – but not outside because Mimi isn’t allowed out alone either!

The Mothers never tell me anything! I know they went off to see Aunty M today but did they tell me they were going … that would be a big NO – I only found out after they arrived back. I should have known something was up though when M Kaz pre-heated not one, not two, but three YETI cups to take with them on the coffee run to Zarraffas!

I don’t think I was the only one who thought Aunty M would be coming home today – the Mummies said she was sure she would be going home but the Hospital folk thought otherwise. They must like her a lot to want to hold on to her another day, or actually night.

Nothing much has been happening here – except lots of naps as usual, and taking my blue stringey thing to give it some food – it is so thin it really needs as much as it can get. Did I mention I’d been having naps in on the Mummies’ bed. I’ve really been comfortable on there since the Mummies put the mattress topper on the bed. You would never have believed a 4″ deep “pillow” could make such a difference, but it does. M Sooz (she loves all things Manchester) has ever made me a little sleeping area – from the cloth bag the big brown blankie came in.

The joke was on M Kaz this morning – she was up early (5 am) to go down to the Broadwater to take pictures of the sunrise – and it only started raining so she could really notice once she was down there. If she’d known beforehand, I doubt she would have gotten out of bed!
