This time a year ago the Mummies were away and Uncle Wayne and I were living our best lives – yes, that’s right, he is allergic to me and all cats but I am not as bad as some … black cats seem to be the worst and we all know I only have a little bit of black on me (and ‘in’ me bwaaahaha). Well, Uncle Wayne has just left here to go back to Toowoomba so I have reclaimed my bedroom.

Before that, I was having to file myself in M Kaz’s wardrobe – it’s cosy enough but not really conducive to stretching out in bed. I also spent some time in my air fryer box which had been moved from the table to on the floor near the dining room table, and I also spent time in my mango box on the couch next to M Kaz while they were watching Richard Osman’s House of Games (which they have now finished).

While Uncle Wayne was here, he taught/reminded M Kaz how to use the BBQ, bought a new gas cylinder and had it filled – it’s a lovely yellow, hung up a picture for Aunty M, and did some shopping and cooking with the Mummies. He went down to the Broadwater with M Kaz every morning and they enjoyed some lovely sunrises with the group down there – and he played with Jesse on the days that he and his mother were there.

Aunty Wendy came to visit while Uncle Wayne was here too. She sat out with him (well, both she and M Kaz) sat out there with him as he worked the BBQ. He also listened when M Kaz said the BBQ was too low for her – and unless it was higher, even though it was a lovely way to cook, she probably wouldn’t – so he built a platform for the BBQ to rest on so M Kaz could use it without complaining about how it was hurting her back. (Yes, she is a bit of a whinger!).


And yes, I did remember that I used to live with Aunty Wendy before I came to live with the Mummies – and even though she has new shoes now – and so she should because I’ve been at Jannie for over five years now – I still enjoyed sitting with her shoes like I used to when I lived with her. I wonder if M Kaz still has my baby photos from then.
