20/7/25 The ground around here remains muddy. Our feet can get stuck very easily, making it difficult to clean them when we come back inside. The Mistress would be far from happy to see muddy footprints inside. It would be, please explain, and in a growly voice too! The humans are very stressed by this caravan business. An investigation is underway behind the scenes with specific government departments, which will likely prolong the duration of this business. But surely it has gone on for long enough. Evidently not.  So, we wait and are unable to move on. It is so hard for a mere Gnome to understand this legal business. She reckons this will end up in court. I suggested that if he has broken the law, then this is final. Evidently not. I have a lot to learn. Golfed yesterday, and then another caravan appeared around here. The twin and his wife offloaded it here. What, 2 Caravans. I can see it when I look out the window. The Mistress went out this afternoon to goodness knows whe...

  13/7/25 So far, no more Cheerios have been found in the frozen vegetables. This pleases the humans immensely. They do wonder if anyone else has seen any. The factory advises that no meat is allowed to enter the premises.  The Mistress feels someone may have sabotaged the production from their lunch boxes as a prank. We may never know. Stress levels are rising around here, and everyone's blood pressure is up. The testing kit is not in a hurry to be put back into the cupboard. The Caravan fellow has to pay up by Tuesday. This sounds very serious. Two severe failed warrants of fitness are now sure to catch the judge's attention, if this goes to court. I ask where we will live, because we will end up homeless. I have nothing to worry about, they assure me. Plans are in place. Oh, I wish they would discuss this with me. As usual, because I don't contribute to the household funds, I have no say at all. A tough life for a mere Gnome. I'm just praying very loudly that I don...

  9/7/25 The birthday has been and gone, and the fellas were happy with their day. The other twin and his wife came for a visit yesterday. They hadn't seen the Boudoir, so it was worth a visit. I had observed these two while they waited to get a word in, as these women talked, and it was impossible for them. I know this feeling too. Last night, the Mistress was doing a mince stir-fry, and of course, I could see what was going into it. She had prepared fresh vegetables and also added some frozen international mix. She called His Lordship to come and look at what she found. What was this, she asked. A strange vegetable that she hadn't seen before. Well, it was an international mix, and maybe she was going to eat something new. Hang on here, it's a cherrio. But these are supposed to be vegetables. How can meat get in here? The Vegetarians won't be happy about this.  It was decided to put this thing aside and contact the brand today. She certainly did that. The young lady o...

  2/7/25 Brrr, it's been very frosty over the past few days. The humans had frozen pipes today, and His Lordship is currently sorting the issue. But Golf is on today, which of course is more important. His darling says he will freeze, as there isn't much sun today, due to the cloudiness.  I spotted her visiting the neighborhood today. She gets up to all sorts of mischief, none of which I am privy to. She has some jobs that need doing here, but she is not in the mood, I hear. It is excellent for some. I am politely informed that she is retired and can do as she pleases, and that no Gnome will tell her what to do. So, I am well and truly informed.  His Lordship and his twin have a big birthday today, with two parties. One is at lunchtime with the family, and the other is dinner in the evening with his mates. I was quietly told that this one could get messy. What does messy mean? Untidy, perhaps, and this doesn't make sense to me at all. I am to mind my own business. Hu...
