Month: May 2024

M Kaz and I had a lovely start to the day with a game of Kill and Destroy on the bed.  Luckily M Sooz didn’t move her feet while she was asleep or she may have had a Nigey launch herself on to them with teeth and claws out.  Surprisingly, M Kaz managed to get bitten only twice (no blood was drawn either time) and she didn’t even get clawed.  I did try – otherwise what fun would Kill and Destroy be?  And then, when M Kaz was getting ready, she let me play with her shoelaces on the bed.  It doesn’t get much better than this!  Unless she lets me play with her new shoelaces.  She bought a yellow pair for herself and a red pair for M Sooz and once she works out how to use them – I think she knows how shoelaces work but these have little clasps which go over the aglets so the two ends just clip together.  It’s going to make it much easier to undo the shoelaces without having to work on those double-knots which are sometimes a bit tricky.  I am forever grateful that Nigeys don’t need to wear shoes. 

Aunty M came around to see me this morning but by the time I realised she was there, she and M Sooz were on their way out to breakfast.  M Kaz called out to them for me but they didn’t hear (or just ignored her – no, no, they wouldn’t do that).
I spent some time yesterday afternoon trying to break in to M Kaz’s office.  I don’t know why she insists on locking me out – I just want to help her with her work.  No, I can’t type (well) – we all know that, and the headphones don’t really fit me – but I can operate the foot pedal!  No, seriously I can – maybe not well because it’s hard to select which part of the pedal to press when most of you is on it.  Hmmm.

I thought the rain had gone, but I was wrong.  It bucketed down last night and again this morning, while M Kaz was out and about – yes, that would be when she was down at the Broadwater for her walk and morning photo session.  It didn’t rain heavily, but enough for her to get caught out in it and to realise that her backpack may not be entirely waterproof.  Hmmmm. 

What I was doing while she was out?  I was sleeping at the foot of her bed – stretched out – which I can’t do while she’s in there as well.  I do try to section off as much room as I can but her feet are bigger than mine and I am always a little worried that she will forget I am there and send me hurtling off the bed.  Well, no, it hasn’t happened yet, but a Nigey can’t be too careful.

Now that I think about it, yes, they are still watching Midsomer Murders – they’re up to Season 16 now, and Barnaby has a new sidekick – and he and Sarah have a baby on the way.  They miss Jones, but since they’ve already watched the whole series before, they know that he will be back – just for one episode, but they’re looking forward to that.
Aunty M has been coming around to watch television with the Mummies.  They had been watching ‘Queens of Mystery’, which they all seemed to enjoy, but they have now watched all two seasons of that – and have now moved on the ‘Madam Blanc Mysteries’ and, can you believe it, the second episode wasn’t about solving a murder – it was a completely dfferent type of mystery.  M Kaz said she likes it because she learns ‘stuff’ – like the meaning of ‘Ellie in a Nightie’ which is nothing like ‘a pig in a blanket’ or ‘Nigey on a towel’.

M Kaz is now disappearing for hours at a time out the front.  At first I thought she was going out, but it seems she is actually clearing out the garage/shed.  I know this now because M Sooz was saying the other day that it was getting a bit colder and she thought she needed some heavier covers on the bed.  When M Kaz came back in after her shed session yesterday, she had a blanket, a duvet cover and a duvet for her.  Just as well she hadn’t gone out there with the express intention of finding them because we all know that that would never have happened.  We’re all hoping it will be a different scenario when she’s finished decluttering and reorganising out there.  I’m hoping she will get to move some of the clutter out of my bedroom and stow it out there or send it on its way. I don’t really care either way.
