1/12/24

It is a warm day for the humans, who are keen on the fresh air and shade. They even had lunch outside. I decided to join the Mistress as she worked on her computer.



She is usually quite busy with that thing, and like me, when the computer does its own thing, she is far from amused. She even mutters away, saying all kinds of things, but being a Mistress, she refrains from using those nasty words. 
Yesterday, the humans went out, and we got busy with this roll of Christmas paper. 
It was a riotous time, bonking on my mates' heads and conversing in Gnome language through each end of the Christmas paper roll. The little chaps at the top were in stitches and fled the scene. I'll bide my time until they're engrossed in something else. 

Watching these two cooks can be fun. She gets him to stir the pan while she is making a salad. It is pretty comical at times, especially when he pinches her bum. I always need to be quicker to get the camera. But from my perspective, it's like watching a comedy show, with all the unexpected actions and reactions.

I always perch on my favorite spot on the window ledge, overseeing the entire caravan.


Arh, they are empty
We found these in a bag and thought we could partake in some bubbles. They were empty, as was a cask of wine. Not a drop left for a Gnome and his mate. My mate here is showing his fist in anger. His Lordship had emptied them and not shared them with us. We were then hunting for more, but they were the last. Oh, the disappointment! We were so looking forward to a bubbly evening. 

The Mistress announces that the Grandson is going down to Dunedin on a bus alone while we stay and house-sit in Mosgiel. We are to meet him. This is a great, experience for him. I hope he keeps his eyes off the girls on that bus! 

It is exciting watching the revolving photos of their wedding. Trixie and I enjoyed this day as the humans pledged their Vows. They enjoyed their day, too, and happy faces prove it. Their visitors like them, too. 


It is almost the end of another year, and The Mistress has been reflecting on the past year's events. So much has happened. Some dreams are now not going to happen, like traveling, but they do hope to do more housesitting and have holidays in these places, especially to the places they haven't been before. Now, this, I can handle. But before the end of the year, a refund on this big beast will eventuate, and we can all move on. Only a few sleeps now.

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...
