Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Four

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness me, what a very busy day we had.

Because today is Zita’s sing happy birthday day. 

Right after breakfast we went for a very nice walk. 

And it was a beautiful day outside, it was a long walk.

And when we got home Susan took Zita out for coffees and tasty treats. 

I stayed here to mind Craig, because he was still fast asleep. 

When Zita got home we went for another long walk, and we went to Kathy’s house.

And when we came home we had very very beautiful flowers from the cottage. 

And a bottle of very old Scotsman’s drinks. Richard found that bottle. 

Because he and Zita like those drinks. My goodness.

And when we got home Craig was drinking his next coffee.

So we talked to Nana and Grandad, so they could sing the happy birthday song too. 

Then Niamh talked to us on Zita’s telephone.

Last night Niamh and Tyler came here and we filled Mister Clifford all up. 

With more stuff for the apartment. 

So when we went to that apartment I stayed in Mister Clifford and guarded everything.

Then we went home and went to fast asleep.

Today Niamh and Tyler came here for dinner and to get more boxes full up with important stuff. My goodness me. 

Yesterday our present man brought a box here. 

And it was my present for Zita. 

So I did not forget about it even a little bit. Good for me. 

We went out and got a box of from far away Italy food. It was already made food. 

And Zita told me that it was just pop it in the oven, and then it is delicious cooked food. 

That is a very good kind of food for happy birthdays.

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Three

​Miss Pancake 

We got up very early this morning.

Because we took Emmet to our aeroport.

Because today they went to their old university. 

So people could listen to his very interesting story about maybe long long time ago dragons.

But maybe they were not dragons, because of those very very old words. Oh well. 

I think they were dragons. 

But when we got back home we had our breakfast.

Then it was just the right time for a very long walk.

And we went all over, even to both our ponds. 

Then when we got home we had a quiet day. 

Craig did not get up right away today. Ha.

Because he had not had enough sleeping ins. 

But Zita and I went downstairs to our own basement.

And we counted all our shelves.

Because Niamh talked to Zita. 

And Niamh and Tyler need more shelves in their apartment.

And we have lots of them. Ha.

Last night Mister Clifford took Niamh and Tyler back to their apartment.

And he was full up with boxes. Even a brand new stand up desk. 

For Niamh’s new office. 

And they put all the boxes in the apartment.

After lunchtime Zita went and did her errands, and I had my lovely nap, and minded Craig, at the same time.

And I helped him with the very big scone. 

Then I had another lovely nap, when Zita talked to her Gramma Betty friends. On her computer.

But then Zita had to go and feed her friend’s silly cats. Oh well.

But I minded Craig and we looked out our windows at the brand new flowers.

Zita went to the apartment to bring Niamh lots of those things that hold up your beautiful clothes.

Niamh was very happy. 

Because now all her clothes were not on the floor.

So when the fast car was home it was used pizzas for our dinnertime. Ha. 

And because there was nobody here but us, we watched our detective program. 

Right in the comfy bed. Altogether. Ha. 

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Two

​Miss Pancake 

After our breakfasts Niamh and Tyler came to visit us.

Because that aeroplane did not get all very lost, and brought them home last night.

So they came here to have snacks and to get stuff for the apartment.

Because now it is Niamh and Tyler’s apartment.

And they have to clean it up, until it is all spic and span.

Because Mister Mat was a bit all the time very messy.

And now him room is Niamh’s office. My goodness me. 

Zita and I found Miss Bethany when we went on our walk. 

So we went to the busy street and I guarded everybody. 

When we got home we talked to Nana, because it was her now you are very old birthday.

And Zita’s brother was there too. My goodness me.

But Miss Luna had to stay in far away Spain, to mind his house. 

Craig was up very early today, so we had delicious scones for his lunchtime.

When he finished his coffees. 

Emmet was very busy writing the very end of his story.

Because tomorrow another aeroplane is going to take him to Mister Saint Francis’s university.

He is going to tell them his story all about very long time ago snakes.

Not that Mister Saint Patrick’s snakes, other ones. 

Some of them had three heads. My goodness me.

I do not think we have those kind of snakes anymore. 

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight. 

Because all my family is here, except for Doctor Alice. 

Because she is still in Ireland fixing those Cork people. 

Zita went and found Niamh and Tyler, and then they went to our old favourite pizza shop.

Craig used to go there when he was at his university. 

But they did not get a big pizza.

Because they got a special pizza each. My goodness.

And that shop has lots and lots of delicious cheeses on their pizzas.

That is why it is a special pizza shop. 

Then everybody talked for a very long time.

So we did not watch our detectives tonight.

Maybe tomorrow. 

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty One

​Miss Pancake 

We had a busy day today.

After we had an everybody breakfast Zita and I went on a very long walk.

And we saw lots of houses with lovely brand new flowers. 

And the trees in our garden have little leafs. 

Emmet had to go to a shop and get a brand new telephone.

Because the old phone would not wake up.

I think those wrong clocks got it confused. My goodness.

But now Emmet has a brand new telephone. 

Then Zita and I had adventures.

Because we went to lots of interesting shops. 

And I was her very best fierce guarder dog. Ha. 

Our flat computer map told me that Niamh was at the aeroport in that hot island.

And Tarryn was there too. 

So they will be back in my city nearly very soon. Ha. 

That is a very good idea.

Because Mister Tyler told me that they could not find lots of cold water, when they were way too hot.

And they could only find beers. Oh well.

This afternoon Zita and I were the very best gardeners. 

Then Zita got on our swinging sofa and I minded her. 

I watched the whole street, all by myself. So everybody was all safe as could be. Ha.

And I saw my friends the little birds right inside their bathtub. My goodness.

Emmet was downstairs talking to doctor Alice. 

Because her work at her hospital was all finished today. Because of the clocks. 

We had tortalinis for dinner tonight, because those are Emmet’s favourite. And green beans too.

But we did not watch our detectives, because everybody talked for a very long time.

Until it was past my bedtime.

So I went to bed by myself. Ha. Too bad for them.

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty

Miss Pancake 

​We had a very nice quiet day today.

Zita and I had a lovely sleep in.

And when we got up, my friend Emmet was already awake as could be.

Because of the wrong clocks again.

So they had their Irish teas together. 

Then Zita and I were in the basement for nearly all day.

Because we were packing Niamh’s so many clothes.

Because she is still in that very hot island. With Tyler too. And Tarryn and Jamie. 

Mister Tyler sent me a beautiful picture of their beach.

That was very nice. 

Emmet was very busy doing work for his university. 

So I minded everybody in the basement.

Craig did not need me to mind him, because he was just drinking his too many coffees. 

Then Craig and Emmet looked out my windows and talked.

That was not interesting, so I had my nap.

Then Kathy came here to see Emmet.  She was going to the cottage.

Zita took Emmet to his dragons game friend’s house.

Because they are going to play their game and have a tasty dinner. 

At the same time. My goodness.

So I only had to mind Craig and Zita at dinnertime.

When Zita got home we went on our Sunday have a relax slow walk. 

And when we got home it was dinnertime for us. 

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Nine

Miss Pancake 

​What a very busy day.

Because my friend Emmet will be here today. That is a good idea.

So we had to make everything beautiful.

Zita and I took Bethany out for a very long walk, after breakfast.

Then Zita went out to do some tasty errands.

And when she came home we had a big bag of nice mister Kettleman’s bagels.

Because those bagels are Emmet’s favourite get off an aeroplane food. Ha.

So now we have lots, and lots of tea too. 

Craig did not have his sleep in today.

Because we had too much to do. 

We took everything off the dining room table. And put it in boxes.

And we put those boxes in our office.

Then we got the Badgers vey own, and very old and round do not get stuck with swords things.

One was in Dugal’s castle, and the furry one was in Festis and Furrgus’s castle.

But now they are here.

So Zita asked if she could put them on our wall. 

They were very happy, because it made it feel like their homes, but not so cold and wet.

So Craig and Zita and I put them right on the wall. 

Where the full of books shelf lives.

Then the fast car took Zita to the aeroport, and when they came back Emmet was with them too. 

So they had a bagel dinnertime.

But Emmet was very tried. 

Because of those all the time wrong clocks, and went downstairs to go to fast asleep.

But it was detective time for us.

So we went to bed too. 

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Eight

Miss Pancake 

​We had a very lovely morning at my house today.

But we were very busy making everything tidy.

Because my friend Emmet is going to visit me tomorrow.

But first we went for a very long walk in my neighbourhood, and we looked at the ponds.

But my friends the ducks were not there.

Maybe they were at lunch. 

When we got home Zita talked to her sister in far away. 

I went into the den for my nap.

Because they were laughing very loud.

Then Craig was all dressed. He did not have even a little sleep in. I do not know why.

But when he finished his coffees I helped him with the cinnamon bun. 

But now they are all gone. Oh well.

I had a very nice long outside relax today. Because it is nearly warm.

In Ireland they had big outside fires. To keep the cows all warm. 

We do not have any cows in my neighbourhood. So we did not have even one fire.

Too bad for me, because Bouviers are very best cows minders. It is known. 

After lunchtime Zita and the fast car went to her stretching exercises shop.

So I minded Craig. But he was just moving more books.

Niamh and her lady friends were making very beautiful paintings in that very warm island.

And she used the only for beautiful paintings papers she got for Merry Christmas time.

 When Zita was back home we did even more tidying. 

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Seven

Miss Pancake 

​I had a very quiet day today,

Because we were very very very busy for a long time. 

At lunchtime Zita and the fast car went to find a hat for her hair.

Because tonight she is going swimming. But not in our pond.

She is going to an inside swimming place instead. 

Because there are no dangerous fish in those all inside places. 

When Craig was all dressed he made his coffee and then he had a very tasty cinnamon bun.

Niamh sent me a from the hot island picture.

Craig said that she did not fall off the boat, because she was just swimming. That is good.

I got a picture with Tarryn too. 

They were with their boat drivers. 

Then we had a giant surprise. 

Because Grandad sent us a picture.

And it was a picture of a not very old deer, right in the front garden. My goodness me.

But it did not go inside. I think it was lost. Or maybe hiding. Maybe.

Like my friends the badgers. They are always hiding.

Colonel Dugal said the English police chasing after Furrgus, because of that sword fight.

In a very big park in far away London. 

When Furrgus stuck a very -nasty man with his pointy sword.

And it went right through. 

But the man did not go to heaven.

Because he was never very nice. 

So Dugal said he went somewhere else, not so very nice. Maybe Liverpool.  

But because all those police were chasing Furrgus’s, Festis went with him. 

Because they are twins. 

And he had to make sure his own brother did not do something silly.

That is why Dugal said they had to come here to my house, far away from that London’s police people. 

That was a very good idea.

Zita said all our restaurants think it was a good idea too. 

But lots of times they go to France. 

Because the French people do not care about the English police.

Because you cannot get very delicious croissants in England.  Or tasty smelly cheese. 

After dinner we went to bed. 

Because we were all tired.

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Six

​Miss Pancake 

My goodness, this morning we found our other outside bathtub.

It was hiding in our shed. 

It was the big one. Especially for big birds. 

Now all our birds can be squeaky clean. Just like me.

Zita was away doing very early in the morning errands, but when she got home we went for a very long all around here walk.

There was a man fishing in our pond this morning.

He was trying to catch the giant fish that eat my friends the ducks. Ha. Good for him.

Dugal said he had some small bombs in the basement that are much quicker than fishing.

But Zita said that they were way too noisy. Oh well. 

And he should save them for a better time. 

Festis said they were to discourage The Inland Revenue when they come visiting.

Instead of tasty scones and jams Furrgus said. 

And then Zita and all the Badgers laughed. 

Alice’s father sent me a little movie of his beautiful garden,

It is like Nana’s and Grandad’s garden, but it is in Cork instead.

After our walk Zita went to have treats with the ladies on our street.

So I had my next good morning nap.

When she got back home we went downstairs to help pack all of Niamh’s stuff into boxes.

She could not help, because she is still on that hot as can be island. 

Then when Craig made everybody’s coffee I helped him with a cinnamon bun.

I did not have my nice outside nap today, because of the lots of rain. Oh well. 

So I went into the kitchen to be Zita’s cooking helper. That is a very good job for me.

We own made chillies. Ha.

And I got lots of for pastas cheese on my dinner.

Because I was a very big kitchen helper.

And then it was our time for detectives in bed. Ha.

Day Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Five

Miss Pancake 

​My goodness what a very busy day I had.

And yesterday I was very very busy too.

Yesterday I took Zita to our nice bank and I got a giant treat. Our bank always gives me treats.

And then we went to the little hardware store and I got treats there too. 

But they were little treats.

Maybe because it is a little store. 

And we went for a giant walk.

Because it was a very beautiful day. 

I was so busy I only had a little bit of time to mind Craig. 

Because he had an in the bed shoulder relax day. 

And today Zita and I were so very garden busy. 

But first thing this morning she went to Mister Mike’s fix your car store.

Because it was fast tires time for our car. 

Lots of people came by our house to say hello when we were in our garden.

And when Craig was all dressed he made coffees for everybody.

I helped him with a very delicious cinnamon bun. 

And then it was just the right time for me to take Zita on her exercise walk.

So we could look at the new flowers.

Then I had my afternoon nap.

But I heard my friends Emma and Ray outside.

So I went to visit them, and I went right into their house. Ha. 

Then Susan and the giant car came to take Zita to get our fast car. And bring it home.

I minded Craig. 

And when the fast car got home it had on its very shiny wheels too. Ha.

Last night I slept right on Craig’s feet, so he would be toasts warm when he was fast awake.

That is a very good job for me.

This afternoon I saw little birds in our for birds bathtub. Ha. 

And there are two beautiful flowers in my front yard. 

It is very hot on Niamh’s island. 

Maybe she will melt. Or just stay in the giant ocean. 

After our very delicious dinner we watched the last of our detective program.

So Craig will have to find a brand new one. It is his job. 

We had sausages for dinner, and a tasty piece dropped right on the floor.

So it was mine, because that is the rule in my house. Ha.
