8/11/24

Something is brewing here, and I don't like what I hear. These humans are making plans, and I wonder if I like them. Our traveling days might be over before we even get started. We have significant towing issues. This caravan is not designed to take food, clothing, pots, pans, etc. Mr salesman was only interested in a sale, and the paperwork says weight before adding the three solar panels and 12V battery that would completely squash me flat if he dropped it on me. 

Now, we all love the caravan and want to live in it and settle after traveling around NZ. However, this is not meant to be. Just think of all the places we won't now see.  The adventures, sightseeing, meeting people, and goodness only knows what else. So, the mood here is somber, but I am so disappointed to miss all the unknown activities we could have done and writing to tell you all what the humans get up to besides the mushy stuff. The Mistress announces it will be five weeks tomorrow since they were married and still extremely happy.

The current ongoing discussion around here is that they love this camping place, the people, and the peace and quiet. They would add a deck with a conservatory, whatever they are, and I am yet to find out. The Mistress did a drawing earlier, so I shall look for it later and try to understand this human stuff. She assures me my mates could be unpacked and placed around our little plot. This news impresses me as I have missed them and the antics we got up to while the humans slept. This place is enormous and has plenty of room for thousands of Gnomes. Somehow, I doubt the landlord will approve. 

This landlord is busy looking after the grounds, and yesterday, I watched him mowing the lawns from the window. I bet he didn't see me, though. I was in a prime position while the Mistress was cooking dinner. It is an excellent view, and I saw all sorts of comings and goings. I must perch there more often. Sometimes, I do get bored on the shelf. 



His Lordship was not to be disturbed this afternoon. Whenever she tried to talk to him, she never got an answer. She had to give up and let him focus. He was trying to sort out a problem with the photo frame with revolving photos.  Eventually, he got most of it, and she completed the rest. They love looking at the pictures, especially the wedding.

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...
