I don’t know where my little (?) friend has vanished to. I know he is in Jannie somewhere but try as I might I cannot find him. I know he is here because M Kaz saw him yesterday afternoon. She was sitting at the table reading when she caught a glimpse of him disappearing under the cupboard. He gave her a bit of a startle because he is bigger than the other dinosaurs who come in to play with me. Never mind. He will show up again – probably running over someone’s foot when they least suspect it!
M Kaz is decluttering her office again – and this time I think she is actually doing it. Yesterday she carried out three big bags – one for the rubbish and the other two are destined for the Lifeline shop. I’m not sure I agree with some of the things she’s moving on – like my motorised dinosaur but if someone can get some use of it, that would be a good thing. I only like my live dinosaurs these days. She has been rearranging things as well and she has made room on the rolltop desk (she actually managed to roll the top down!) for the new typewriter so we are definitely going to be hearing the sound of old-fashioned typing around here now. And what was that mad scrambling for the white-out and correction fluid that I heard before?
Even though it is getting warmer, I am still sleeping with them on the bed. No, I am not taking up too much room – just enough. Yes, I could not be sideways on the bed but it’s more comfortable for me this way and M Kaz does manage to sleep around me. I’m sure it’s actually helping with her sore back. And she must like taking photographs of me.
It is Spring and there are patches of sunshine Outback most of the day now. I love rolling around in them on the warm concrete. And if I’m not there, I’m up on the cat tower – surveilling the territory for dinosaurs and whatever other little friends can make their way into the enclosure.
