Aunty M came to visit me yesterday. I haven’t seen her for days and days and days – ever since Cyclone Alfred started hanging around off the coast. We didn’t actually have Alfred come to our place but we did get some of the effects: rain, wind, power outages, lost phone reception, and absence of internet. The Mummies didn’t have to make use of that water they’d stored in the bathtub (yet) and I have wondered what they’re going to do about it – and I know M Kaz has been thinking about it too. She did find a use for the new plug – it’s now in the kitchen sink. It likes it there and is doing a good job.
Aunty M came over on her way to or from the laundromat where she was going to use their dryers. She stayed and had a cup of tea while she chatted with the Mummies. They didn’t watch the Christmas special of the Madam Blanc Murder Mysteries. They’re saving that for another time.
M Kaz was up at 3am this morning listening to woodland creatures. That’s what she said they were but I’m not sure that was what it was. It was a raspy noise, rhythmic, not very loud, but constant and it seemed to be coming from over the fence in the reserve. It was nice that she thought it was woodland creatures but we don’t really know what it was. Haha … woodland animals indeed. Thank goodness I’m here to protect them (in case they’re not).
I’m doing my best but I still haven’t managed to drink all the water in the bathtub. It doesn’t help that the Mummies are locking me out of there. Blah, blah, blah – what if Nigey falls in – blah blah blah. I won’t, Mummies. I’m more careful than that. Just because M Sooz almost slipped in the shower this morning doesn’t mean no-one can be safe in a bathroom.
