Day Two Hundred and Forty Five

Miss Pancake 

It was a go back to work Monday. 

But I did not help Zita this morning because Niamh and Lee and Tarryn came to make me beautiful.

Because I am too furry and I get too too hot when I go outside. 

So they found the fur cutting machine and we went in the backyard so the house would not be all messy. 

And we had a make me beautiful party. Ha. That was a good idea. 

It was not even a very sunny day today. 

Because there were only smoke clouds in the sky. Not nice fluffy sheep clouds. 

Because there are lots and lots of poor beautiful trees on fire in the forests. Oh my goodness me. 

And even people can smell the fires. 

And people are not very good at smelling things. 

Their noses are way way too small. Too bad for them.

They have firemen aeroplanes too. 

They drop lots and lots of water right on top of the fire. 

But it is still very smelly outside today. 

I had my lunch outside with my friends. 

And when they were finished I was as beautiful as could be. 

Furrgus and Festis 

Well to any who may be interested, we had a wonderful picnic yesterday. 

We travelled up the highway to Perth and ensconced ourselves in their lovey park. 

We dangled our toes in the running river to our hearts content. 

The wine bar’s picnic collection was absolutely perfect and, not surprisingly so, were the included selection of  wines. 

Festis drew the short straw and had to content himself with lemonade. 

But he was a good sport about it. 

We did not find out that Miss P forgot to inform the household of our whereabouts until near dinnertime. 

Next time we shall write it on the kitchen blackboard. 

When we got up this morning there was the distinctive smell of burning forests in the air. 

So we put on our masks before venturing out. 

After returning the car to its place we dropped in to Whole Foods for a couple of their bacon, turkey and avocado sandwiches. 

And as we were already there we dropped into the bakery. 

That one can never have too much potential toast is a statement that has stood the test of time. 

So we loaded up. 

With two of everything. No point being caught short late at night because of your own parsimony. 

Miss Pancake 

I had my first lunch outside today. Because I was very busy becoming beautiful. 

Niamh and Lee and Tarryn took all the too much fur away. I was very very good. 

Everybody said so. 

But now I am a bit very skinny. Oh well. 

And Craig could not have his peanut butter sandwich for lunch today.

Because I ate all the peanut butter while the ladies styled me. 

That is what they call it when they take away your too much fur. 

So now I am very stylish. Zita told me so. Ha. Good for me. 

When I was all finished being beautiful Niamh and Lee and Tarryn went to do some important errands.

And I went into our office to mind Zita.

And I did not wake up until it was my dinner time. My goodness.

Craig and Zita had toasted bacons sandwiches. I minded them under the dining room table.

Then we watched the program without a detective until it was our bedtime.
