Nooooo …

Well I don’t know what’s going on but my caravan has been stolen … not the brown snow stuff, but definitely my caravan. I went out into that part of the living room that is given over to all things Nigey to get in it (well, it is more of a flat pack these days) this morning and it wasn’t there … at all. I’m not sure how anyone could have come in to pinch it without me noticing … but there it was, or rather, wasn’t. And other stuff of mine is missing as well! Boxes, my favourite paper bags that are no longer anything like paper bags, my convertible … oh wait, I’ve just found that on the couch … and let me check that stringey thing is still with us … yes, there he is at the food bowl where I left him in the wee small hours of the morning. So what on earth is happening around here? I wonder if the Mummies are missing anything too. I’ll go and have a look in the bedroom and office in a minute but let me just have a look in the kitchen – M Kaz will be devastated if her new coffee-making machine is gone – especially before she has a chance to work on foam art No, all good, that’s still there, together with the Aldi one … what on earth are they going to do with two coffee machines?!? I can remember a time when we only drank tea at home because everyone liked going out to coffee shops too much to have a coffee machine at home! Next they’ll be experimenting with different blends. Zarraffas has been mentioned.
Now, let me see if anything else is gone … nope, doesn’t look like it … and none of the missing stuff is theirs – it’s all mine. Oh no … my poly inserts from the new coffee machine box are gone … and the box! This is not good Mummies, not good at all … in fact, best I go and wake them up so they know.

Exhausted from looking for my stuff.

I was very happy to hear M Kaz’s voice this morning because it meant she had come to pick me up from Aunty Rosemary’s. It was time too because I had been keeping count by drawing marks on the wall with my claws – and no, they didn’t manage to clip them while they had me incarcerated there because, to quote them, I was too “hissy”.  Hmmm … me? Hissy? Well, maybe a little because I was worried they were going to paint my nails the same colour as Rosemary used to have her hair … green … and that just wouldn’t do.  So, my nails haven’t been done which means I might have to schedule a visit with Aunty M to do them – or M Kaz might decide she has to take me to see the vet so they can take me out the back and attend to it.  I can see why M Kaz wants me to get my nails done though … I don’t mean to but sometimes when I go to give her a little pat, when I’m being affectionate, my nails sometimes gets caught on her skin – even when she’s wearing long pants!  She obviously has a very low pain threshold because she sometimes cries like a baby when it happens!

But it is so good to be home again and M Sooz was as happy to see me as I was to see her because she had set out a new bed for me to sleep on … and I think she’s going to leave it on their bed tonight to make sure we are all warm enough – because the nights continue to be chilly!

M Kaz had been being sucky too – she’s given me a new box from Prime – the one that had the landing pad for the drone in it – yes, that would be the same drone which I haven’t yet been allowed to play with – and M Kaz has said I won’t be allowed to until she’s allowed to fly it in the house … and M Sooz has made it quite clear that that will absolutely not be happening. But at least the new coffee machine has been allowed in and I am enjoying the polystyrene packing inserts from that box very much.  See … I don’t ask for much …

Monday

It was so cold today that we all spent the day rugged up – in our beds for M Sooz and I, and M Kaz was in her office trying to stay warm as she did “stuff”. The cold didn’t stop the Mummies from going out to breakfast but they were very careful about making sure they went to the warmest coffee shop they could think of. Mmmm… coffee. And hot chocolate. And tea. But what do they give me? None of them that’s for sure … they’re not even heating my water for me. But – and this is a good but, they have found new cookies for me – theyre the Cachet ones from Aldi, and they’re not too bad at all. M Kaz was trying them out on me the other day, when they first got them; she had put out some of each – Applaws, Fancy Feast and the Cachet – and then she kept watching me to see which I ate first … yes, just for her I went to the Cachet. She must know me fairly well because she didn’t put a lot of each down … just in case I started wolfing them down, which I probably would have because it is me after all.
M Kaz is warming herself up this evening watching “The Day After Tomorrow” where a new Ice Age hits the Northern Hemisphere. That and hot chocolate seem to be doing the trick. And the ugg boots, track pants, two flannelette shirts, a woollen vest and a beanie. Did someone say it’s cold?

Uh huh …

It’s Saturday again which means the Mummies are going out to breakfast with Aunty M.  Aunty M was here the other day to pick up M Sooz so they could go to breakfast – which meant M Kaz was here giving me her undivided attention – and that’s the way I like it … uh huh … uh huh.  I’m not usually musical but M Kaz has been listening to music as she works out what to transfer from her computer to her phone … I can’t say I’m a fan of all of it but there is some … uh huh … uh huh … I like it.  And it’s just as well I do because while she’s been doing it I’ve either been hanging around on the desk or at her legs … yes, kissing and cuddling … which is why she’s talking about having my claws trimmed when I go to see Aunty Rosemary next … although word is that Aunty M has said she could do it for me.  And why don’t M Kaz or M Sooz do it for me? I know they have the clippers here (somewhere!) … I think it’s because they’re scared of me, which is a bit odd because I really am a wonderful Nigey. 

I’m so wonderful that I’ve been spending time in on the bed with them – and with the new box that M Sooz gave me. Actually, she’s given me two boxes this week – one she brought home for me from our favourite store (Aldi) and the other which came in the mail with her new Marion Grasby cook book – Always Delicious.  It’s funny because M Kaz keeps calling it Almost Delicious. She’s silly sometimes. 

Plans are afoot to have the back deck filled in so we can all go out there and relax.  M Kaz has started “practice sitting” out there … so she can work out how it will feel once it is enclosed – I think she’s actually trying to work out where the sliding fly screens/shades are going to go so she can make sure she can still get the best direct sunlight during the winter.  

It’s good helping the Mummies and I was helping M Kaz update her diary yesterday and I was in keeping M Sooz entertained as she was reading.  I like to try to spend equal time with them both!
