Lennie … Lennie… where are you? Come back … all is forgiven! I’m really worried that I haven’t seen you in so long! And what have you done with Kermie? He’s missing in action too. I hope that Cecil that was here the other day hasn’t had anything to do with the two of you not being around. I get so lonely here sometimes and I just want someone to play with … or even just to talk to. The Mummies are sometimes so busy doing things that they just don’t have time for Nigey.

What are they doing? Well, at the moment M Sooz is doing a lot of reading including Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann, and watching videos with The Seekers, as well as her usual snake catcher and street food videos (those last two are separate things … really!). M Kaz has a new lens for one of her cameras so she has been taking that out a couple of times – to the Botanic Gardens and also down to the Swell Sculpture Festival. If I’m over-hearing them correctly, she’s planning on going down early tomorrow morning to get the dawn shots that she was too late for on Tuesday.

Otherwise things are much the same around here … although we all spent time watching television last night to see the people in uniforms escort the gun carriage (“catafalque” said M Sooz way before the commentators did) bearing Queen Elizabeth II on The Final Journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. They said the journey would take 38 minutes … and they were almost right – you know M Kaz was timing them!
