4/1/25

My mate and I have been enjoying the fruit the humans collected the other day. It's pretty amusing to see how far an apricot can travel, and the cherries are even more adventurous, venturing out the door and into the passage where the humans sleep. The guitar fella, Gizmo, is having a blast, and I've been regaling him with tales of our whimsical life with these humans. 


What a hoot

I found Gizmo full of surprises about what he had been doing before coming to live at our place. The Mistress found him in a shop window in Mosgiel, and he would watch the humans doing their Christmas shopping. Little children screamed with excitement while doing their shopping.

The Mistress and His Lordship stood at the window and saw Gizmo. He could see that she was most impressed and would buy him. She asked the assistant if they had more Gnomes, but he was a loner. He remembers being packed in a box with all this yukky stuff around him and was tossed around like me some time ago when the Mistress left me in Waimate. I couldn't believe she could do this, so that friend of hers packed me in a box with special packing around me so I didn't break while returning home. Don't humans realize that this is cruel!

Gizmo started playing the guitar last night, and what a commotion! I raced to close the door so the humans wouldn't wake up. He is actually not bad at all, and he would get on with that Waimate friend as she plays instruments and sings. She didn't sing for me, though. I heard that she had a great voice. Oh well, a shame about her packing me up in a box is all I can say. 

Tabitha, the resident cat, likes to keep up with our antics when the humans are not around. She is a nosey cat and tried to biff the cherry. She had a great old time with her paw and occasionally had the cherry in her mouth, but she didn't eat it. She also plays with toys on the floor.


Tabitha 

Today, His Lordship has the flu. He is coughing and sneezing all over the place, and he sneezes so hard that the curtains move. I cannot believe how loud and deafening these outbursts are. The cat takes off with all that noise and heads outside. His Lordship went off to sleep with a blanket around him. His darling made sure he was warm as he was shivering. He is not eating much either, so we know it is not "man flu."

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...
