I thought we had done quite well getting almost to the end of this season of Married at First Sight before the Mummies started looking to prime time television … but the good news is that they’re not talking about that dreadful show, M Kaz is starting to get excited about the new season of MasterChef which starts in about a month’s time. And talking about excited, M Kaz received her results for her coding assignment … the word “excellent” was used a number of times in the feedback but I think she was more excited that she didn’t have to redo it. Yep, we can go back to normal around here for a few weeks before she starts her next subject (thankfully the last for her Certificate!).  

And speaking of excitement, how excited was I today when M Kaz finally handed over her birthday bag to me.  I had to cajole, and beg, and insist she take things out of it so I could have it, but in the end, as I knew she would, she bowed to my wishes.  She should know by now to just do it, M Kaz, just do it! Nobody needs to hear any arguments from you or M Sooz!  

I don’t know why they don’t pay me more attention.  I am Nigey.  I am the cat.  It’s not as though I’m not around all the time – why, only yesterday I was helping M Kaz with her birthday presents – checking them out, giving them a good sniff, letting her know they were okay.  No, no, it wasn’t just because I wanted the bags … although I do have to say, they were lovely bags.   No, I’m just always looking out for them. Because that’s what a good cat does!  I am a good cat.

They went out with Aunty M yesterday – to lunch. That’s what they tell me anyway because Aunty M didn’t come in to give me a face rub.  She had been in to see me in the morning when she and M Sooz went to breakfast – but that was ages before.  Hmmm.  Aunty M knows the rules: if she comes to the house or anywhere near the house, she’s supposed to come in to see me!  Hmmmmm.  Someone will need to have stern words with her to make sure it doesn’t not happen again!  (M Kaz … can you check that for me before you post my blog … you know I’m rubbish at double negatives?!? Ta.)

Well, that would have been pretty funny … and I’m really sorry I missed seeing it … but there is a story there and an opportunity for a very funny video … of M Kaz and the new drone … and how it was chasing her around the sports field.  And when it wasn’t chasing her, she was chasing it – and telling it to “land, damnit, land” as she forcefully, and with a tiny bit of panic, pushed the button that was supposed to bring it down … but seemed not to be for some reason.  At one point she was sure she had lost it in the trees – she couldn’t see it was actually resting on the ground until she was much closer – that’s how far away it was.  And, no, she said, the headless mode doesn’t seem to work, nor the one touch return.  Hmmm.  But still she insists she is having fun with the drone and she’s put in an order for another couple of batteries so she can spend more time out there with it.  Me? I think she was much better off flying it around in the house … and that she had forgotten how big the sports field was … until she’d had to hurry back and forth over it a couple of times trying to keep Bitey (the drone) under control.  Bitey 1:  M Kaz 0 was how M Kaz should have reported it on her FaceBook page.  And what was I doing while all this was happening outside:  I was keeping the other Mummy company and pulling down some zzzzz’s – and there are photographs – but you’ll have to click into the “gallery” to see all of me.

(Sing to the tune of “Happy Birthday”!) Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Mummy Kaz, Happy Birthday to you.

I can’t wait until it’s my birthday and I can get some special treatment around here. The Mummies were up at 5 this morning and out of the house soon after . They smelled like coffee when they came back. And when they got back, M Sooz gave M Kaz a bag and said “Happy Birthday” – and M Kaz got all excited as she took the present out of the bag (it makes a change from a cat!). Who knew she’d get so happy about a drone? Obviously M Sooz and their friend Pene. And M Kaz is excited … I know this because she’s been flying it around the house – not as in “around” the house but “in” the house. Can you imagine that? Thank goodness she finally put the bumpers on the rotors because she kept flying into the walls, and the furniture, and the window … not very sensible M Kaz. I’m wondering how long she will have that drone after she takes it outside to play with it … it might decide to just fly away. Then she could take me outside!
