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 Mistress keeps checking to see if there are any emails from the person in question. Nope, not yet, is all we hear these days. She is well aware that things do take time, but this is ridiculous, she feels.  

Very soon, we will be off again and go down to Mosgiel. The people want us to look after Tabitha, and we have a 90th Birthday to attend, so it is a win-win for us all. The Mistress loves that cat and can't wait to look after her. Let's hope she is pleased to see us. It is only for 2 weeks this time. We hope to check in with friends and relations again. Auntie is getting a new bathroom, and the Mistress wants to check it out. She was sick and didn't want to give them her bugs on the last trip.

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 ...
