Well that was pretty funny but I don’t think M Sooz would agree. When they woke up the first time this morning M Sooz was going to go back to sleep for a while (they weren’t going to the Markets for ages!) and M Kaz was going to make a coffee – the noisy type – and since she is so considerate she was closing the bedroom door so she wouldn’t annoy M Sooz. That was the plan anyway until M Kaz pulled the knob off the door as she was closing it (even though M Sooz had said she didn’t need to – close the door that is, she would never have thought to say anything about not pulling the door knob off!). Okay, said M Sooz once M Kaz had the knob back on, but don’t close it. But of course she did and that’s when M Kaz realised she couldn’t open the door … and M Sooz couldn’t open it from her side either. I’m not saying that tempers were starting to flare at this point but M Sooz did say she was becoming a bit anxious. About that time M Kaz realised the spindle must have flown out when the knob came off and she soon found it poking out under the door. Phew. It wasn’t long before the door was fixed and normal activities resumed.

You never know what fun things are going to happen around here!

That M Kaz is so slack with taking my blog dictation … you would think that she thinks that I have nothing better to do than wait around for her to be ready … to do the blog, to go outside, to play. Of course, I am happy to wait for her some times, because I know the Mummies are busy doing whatever it is that Mummies do … reading, writing, Samagraming, drone flying, going to the Post Office to pick up the new lens which has finally arrived 34 days after M Kaz ordered it from her river friend (Amazon), starting to tidy up M Sooz’s studio for when Uncle W visits in a couple of weeks … and there’s heaps of other stuff they’ve been doing too. I should be happy that they have time for me at all. I bet Mimi doesn’t have this problem with Aunty M and Mouse.

I am still spending time in my cat tree basket – I’m even sleeping there some nights after I’m evicted from the Mummies’ bedroom. Why don’t they want to play in the middle of the night? I know M Sooz likes reading then but usually about that time M Kaz is snoring like a bear in the forest … I try to wake her up so she can come play, but that usually just leads to me being shown the door – and locked on the other side of it.

Well, it was about time and she could have picked a better day for it but when M Kaz came back from the Laundromat this morning, she let me jump into my harness and then we went outside for a bit of a wander.  She didn’t take me outside to next to the driveway where Aunty M had found the FIVE-leaf clover (and what do five-leaf clovers stand for anyway?) but we did have a good wander around the yard as we waited for M Sooz to get back from her breakfast with Aunty M at Le Cafe Gourmand. 

There’s still no sign of Lennie or Kermie, but I keep looking for them. There are heaps of birds about at the moment so it may not be an ideal time for Lennie or Kermie to make an appearance. 

I am looking forward to M Kaz taking the drone out the back again (it’s been a few days now) – I love listening to her saying rude words when it doesn’t do exactly what she wants it to do. 
There’s talk around the house that it’s time for my nails to be done again – Aunty Rosemary and her helpers had a go but I didn’t let them do it – and I am fairly sure that I’m not going to cooperate if M Kaz goes ahead with trying to trim my nails herself.  I think she’s going to wait until I’m asleep – but I wouldn’t put it past her to drug me so she can do it.  Of course, she’s going to have to find the clipper first … or buy a new pair!  Either way, I’m fairly sure there’s going to be plenty of hugs and kisses around her arms if she tries to do it.

While we were in the garden, M Kaz was on the lookout – every vigilant you might say – for her mate Cecil.  We didn’t see Cecil but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t lurking around somewhere – and that she wasn’t prepared to gather me up and have me inside in a single bound if she did sight him. I don’t know why she thinks she has to be the one to see Cecil if he’s there – I’ve told her that I like them too, although that could be the problem, I’m not sure she wants me to play with one!  She’s a meanie!  And, I’m sure she said that despite what people say, geraniums are really not a Cecil deterrent!

I will … I absolutely will … learn how to dispense my own cookies and how to open my tins of food if you will just let me stay home alone! Yes. This means the Mummies left me with Aunty Rosemary again while they went up to Toowoomba. “Take me! Take me!” I said … but they did not.

I knew something was up when M Kaz mentioned my name on the phone a couple of weeks ago … and then last Wednesday morning the Mummies had lots of bags out … for people who were only going away for a few days, they had lots and lots of them. M Kaz had the most … two camera bags, a computer bag, her sleeping machine, the coffee machine (can you believe they take it with them!?!), a shoe bag, an electrics bag … the list goes on and on. The other Mummy takes one bag! Sure, it’s a big bag … but it’s only the one!

They had so much stuff in the car that there was hardly any room for me in there! But they made room – which is a shame because I would have been happy staying home and having Aunty M came over and visit.

But I’m back now … M Kaz picked me up yesterday morning and brought me home. It is good to be home again … with all my toys, and my buses, and my food – they do have food at Aunty Rosemary’s – they make it themselves – but there’s something about your own food isn’t there? Mmmmm … chicken-flavoured cat cookies. What could be better? Except drinking water out of my cup in the sink … and playing with my rubber bands … and my Stringey Thing … and being with my Mummies … and sleeping on the end of their bed.
