Saturday (6 April 2024)

Saturday. The day the mummies always get up early and go out to breakfast with Aunty M, Bluey and his parents. They went to a different cafe this morning. They’ve been there before but not with the others. I think it was okay although it was a bit noisy, pretty busy, the chairs were uncomfortable, the mugs were the wrong shape so they had to have takeaway cups, and … well, Bluey could be in the cafe but not up on a chair. The food must have been okay because they didn’t mention it.

They are still watching Midsomer Murders in the evenings and I’m doing my best not to get addicted to it too but it is getting harder. I wonder if they’ll ever get interested in another detective?

M Kaz spent time in her office this afternoon – and then out of it and then back in it. I tried to tell her it would be easier and more time-efficient if she took a bag or something in to the office to put the rubbish and recycling in rather than bringing each piece out one at a time. I think she mumbled something about having to “get more steps”. I left her to it and went in search of a dinosaur to play with. I found one too – and we were having a wonderful time until someone (I’m looking at you M Kaz) took them outside – out the front too so there was no chance I’d be able to get to them. I just hope they can find some new friends out there.

Thursday (4 April 2024)

Who knew the chairs moved? I was sitting on Aunty M’s chair – not watching Midsomer Murders because we all know how much I don’t like it – when M Kaz came over and touched something on the side of the chair and the whole seat started moving beneath me! It went forward and then it went back – and then M Kaz was moving me forward on the towel on my seat “so I didn’t get my bottom caught in it”. You never know what those Mummies are going to get up to! Except work – M Kaz has only locked me out of our office a couple of times this week – and come to think of it, she hasn’t locked herself in there that much either. I think it’s because she’s still feeling poorly (Day 12 of her lurgy now by my count)- so poorly that she took herself off to the doctor today – and came back with a new lot of potions and pills. Hopefully they will help her. I don’t know about M Sooz but I’m a bit over all the sick person noises around here! I don’t mean to seem unsympathetic but they are a bit (understatement) ghastly!

It rained a bit today so I just rested Outback and in my bedroom – when I wasn’t being an attentive Nigey, sitting at M Kaz’s feet, giving her kisses and cuddles. Hmm. I wonder if this has anything to do with the note on the whiteboard about M Kaz and I going off to have our nails done at the V-E-T in the morning.

And speaking of the rains, I can’t help but wonder if more – a lot more rain, maybe like a flood – is on the way. M Kaz is stocking up on my very favourite cat cookies – there are 5 … yes 5! … packets of them in the cupboard now. I haven’t seen her sneaking any of my favourite tinnies in yet though. I hope she doesn’t expect me to just make do with cat crunchies! That’s ridiculousness M Kaz.
