The humans are saying thank goodness it is a bit cooler today. They took me to a BBQ yesterday and left me in the car. The Mistress has her mind on other things these days. She only has eyes for her man and not me. How times have changed since he waltzed into her life? It appears she can only handle one bloke at a time, especially since she had a zero added to her age. Every pot needs a lid, and she found one that fits perfectly. 

Getting back to the car, it was very hot for a gnome to be stuck. The doors were locked, and there was no way I could get out. I sat up at the window and checked out the talent. It is not a busy street up in Christchurch, but I spotted a dog or two on a lead going for their daily walk. It was fascinating watching a dog going about his business. I just discovered that they also come in all shapes and sizes. Gnomes too. There are skinny and fat ones, tall and short, fluff and no fluff too. Some humans have fluff, too, some more than others. Gnomes usually have very long fluff, but we keep them tidy. 

His Lordship only has fluff on the top of his head, but the Mistress says it is getting thinner. She spotted a photo with his back view, and a bald patch was starting to appear. You will never see this happening amongst us Gnomes. Let's face it, have you ever seen a bald Gnome?

Like my mates, I am not stuck at home, but I am learning so much about the outside world. The Mistress teaches me all sorts of things, and learning about feelings, emotions, and a heap of complicated stuff I have to look up in my books. They are each a vast topic, and this makes my brain ache. 

We head south for a holiday a week today. Let's hope they remember to take me. We have some people to visit on the way down to Mosgiel, and I look forward to the adventures. But first, I do hope the humans get this caravan sorted. With any luck, they won't have a home to return to. That salesperson has a letter from her lawyer stating that he must refund her. He might not be happy about this, and I will not be satisfied if we have no home. The Mistress assured me they had a plan I would be pleased with, but she would not tell me. She said it was a surprise. That was me told.

These humans talk about all sorts of things, and I listen to them, but it is hard to keep up at times. There are also times when I tune out and get into the Gnome Zone. I will not tell you what this means; it is only Gnome's business.

This caravan is really rocking about today, as it is windy outside. I do hope my mates outside are coping well. I have the luxury of being in a very cozy place.

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...
