I am so good at finding little nooks and crannies to have my naps in, it sometimes takes the Mummies ages to find me. Mummy Sooz had to ring the other Mummy today while she was out at Aldi because she couldn’t find me. Heh heh. The other Mummy knew exactly where I was – she had taken a photo of me before she left because I don’t think she’d ever seen me in the spot before. Or she could have done it because she just loves taking photos of me! So many! Too many!
I don’t know why they don’t want me to look after the Christmas accoutrements (that’s tinsel and stuff for anyone else who doesn’t know French – I had to look it up – learning a new language is part of my New Year’s resolutions … I’m just not sure which one yet).
I helped Kaz take them down yesterday because the Christmas dinge (German: things) has to come down on 12th Night or bad things could happen.
Given that they didn’t want to put a real Tannenbaum up again this year because there was a chance I would try to hug it (or try to chew on the electric cable) like last year … or was that the year before? … they didn’t do too bad a job decorating with tinsel and the new me-friendly trees from Aldi. I am going to watch where they put the şeyler (Turkish) though because I might be able to get them out again while they’re not looking … or when they’re out and about. That would be fun. That would really work: Stardenburdenhardenbart indeed.
It is so nice to be home. I have been having a wonderful time rediscovering all my favourite sleeping spots – and another one I haven’t been in for a while – probably because the Mummies have had it hidden behind the door for a while.
I have been trying to keep them entertained as well … just so the Mummies don’t get the idea they can ship me off to Aunty Rosemary’s. They haven’t said that they’re planning to go anywhere – but like this last time, they might be making plans while they are out of the house – so I don’t know.
I don’t know what it is with them but they keep buying fans and bringing them into the house. One is called the Vornado and it’s designed to cool the whole room. When Kaz brought it home she told Sooz that the salesperson told her it would work “really well” – and I heard Sooz say this morning that it works better than the air conditioning and the fan put together. I think Kaz really likes it because it can be pointed directly at Sooz so she gets the blast of cool air – while just giving a cooler room to Kaz. Those two are just so different!
I’m home! I’m home! And there was great rejoicing throughout the land! Mummy Kaz finally came to collect me from Aunty Rosemary’s on Thursday morning – and it was so good to see her and Mummy Sooz once I’d been chauffeured home.
First stop: the cookie corner.
Second stop: making some brown snow in the caravan.
Third stop: a drink of water at the sink.
Forth stop: Hello Mummy Sooz.
I can’t believe they went out and left me – at home, alone, not that long after. They were gone for hours – which was good in a way because I could just settle back into home – after 9 … count them NINE … nights away.
Because I was so glad to be home and because I had missed the Mummies just a bit, I decided they’d like it if I slept in their bed with them – at Mummy Kaz’s feet. They liked it so much they popped it on Kaz’s FaceBook page.
Kaz keeps taking photographs of me – she hasn’t really put her phone down since I arrived home. Yes … I’m doing my very best to keep them entertained because that’s what Nigeys do!
Nigella ...
