23/10/24

His Lordship was up early today. The new car needed a longer run and not just around the city. The Mistress says he would be in his element as it was golf day, too. That is such a great excuse for him. So, she gets to drive his old car, which doesn't please her much, but she knows a long drive is needed. 

We gathered our mates when they went out yesterday and wondered what we could do. There was a hedge behind our caravan and others behind us, so we hid ourselves and watched the humans go about their day. They are well set up and have been living there for a while. They are a quiet bunch and don't venture far.

Gizmo cracked some jokes and had us rolling around, laughing our socks off. A lady came outside looking for something and then returned to her caravan. I wonder what she was looking for!

There was not enough action around them, so we scarpered down the hedge fence to another caravan, and they didn't appear. We heard snoring, and it was the middle of the day. Maybe they don't sleep at night. We shall pop over tonight and see what goes on there.

My humans are in the planning mode around here, wishing they could get on the road. His Lordship has found some rusty areas underneath the caravan, and they are far from impressed. Being brand new, one would expect it to be in tip-top order. The salesman will not be happy when he sees the photos. 

The Mistress went to Croquet in the heat of the day. She was home after one game because her osteoporosis was annoying her. Feeling like the weather would change, she put the jug on, wondered why it never boiled, and saw that the gas had run out. 

I saw her looking in the fridge for a cold drink. She opened a bottle of His Lordship's beer that he was not keen on. She didn't want it to go to waste, so she demolished it very quickly. I had not known her to drink beer before His Lordship took residence at her place. They share everything now, it appears. I wish I had known about this beer, as we could have helped her drink the stuff. 


Demolished by the Mistress

She informed me that it is not often that she demolishes this so quickly, but today was an exception, as thirst took over. She would have tried to change the gas bottle herself if her body was up to it. Just as well, dinner is leftovers heated in the Microwave. Where would she be without His Lordship? 
He has a 12 V fridge freezer they are selling and has well over 1010 hits on the advertisement. She is staggered at this number and has picked the right time of year to sell it. There is no more room to store it, and not the need now because the caravan has a large fridge freezer. He reckons it was too cheap and glad she put an extra $50 on it. It may be too cheap as many people are waiting to buy it if the sale falls through. 
I know she is getting ratty because they were due this morning to pick it up, but they were delayed until after 4 p.m., and they are still waiting. She dislikes people mucking her around. I thought the beer would have chilled her down a bit!

29/12/24 I have been unable to get on the computer for the past few days. The Mistress has been quite stroppy, and I am far from amused. She seems to pay more attention to the resident cat, who now sits on the arm of her chair. Today, she wrote an email to the cat's human family, and she told the cat this, so the cat put her paw on the Mistress's wrist while writing. What next, I ask you. These two are constantly chatting with each other, and each knows what the other is saying.  Regarding the birds outside, Tabitha is in complete control, with the birds screeching. She does have success at times, and sometimes the Mistress calls her to stop and come inside, which she does, of course.  For several nights now, she has enjoyed being brushed and sending Tabitha into a state of pure bliss. However, she doesn't spend time with me, and I get jealous. It is a tough life being a mere Gnome. Tabitha This cat waltzes past me during the night and is not aware I am watching her....

25/10/24 The humans are melting today and spilling everywhere, making this caravan untidy . They keep saying bad weather is coming, but they are wrong, as I can feel the fine weather in my bones. The onset of night seems to stir a restlessness in the humans. They toss and turn, their covers in disarray, creating a scene of disorder. Yet, this peculiar behavior only fuels my curiosity, prompting me to explore other aspects of this world. Amidst the snoring of other humans, I found myself drawn to adventure. Gizmo was having a grand time in the water feature, so I left him to it. I set out to find those pedal bikes I had seen the other day. I yearned to sit in them and dream of having longer legs and the mischief I could get up to. Being a mere Gnome is tough, but I'm always ready for a new adventure. Despite the challenges, I persevered. The night was long, the place vast, and the campers numerous. Some even left their smelly shoes outside their door. But I didn't let it get to ...

  10/2/25 Yesterday, the humans went out for the day, and we thought they forgot to come home. It was a lovely day, so we went to the vegetable patch. We had to go the back way, down two fence lines. There were humans around, and we couldn't be seen. It was such a long way for our little legs.  Someone dug in the garden, so we went in another direction, as it was huge, and we wouldn't be seen. This limited what we could do, however. Playing amongst the potatoes and tickling them under the pile of dirt was highly entertaining. Throwing them at each other made us fall over and lose our footing. A quick brush down made us sneeze as it was so dusty. Such hard work, we thought. When we had enough, we headed back via the long route. There were humans all over the place. When the coast was clear, we would get to the next place, hide in the shade, rest our weary legs, then move on to the next.  The humans I live with are getting tetchy about this caravan debacle. The Mistres...
