Just grumbling along...

The diagnosis of Writer's Block has been upgraded to Lack of Interest. Grumble. Nothing much happens around here, and apart from meals and arrivals, there isn't much to get excited about. Grumble. My soapbox is soggy from all the rain, and I get in trouble every time I bark my opinion about something. Grumble.

OMG! It's Easter already. Hmmm. It's Very Quiet around here. Eric, Elsie and Max have gone up to their fabulous beach house for some R+R. She's working and He's doing what He always does - park me in a corner while He works away on His computer. Hrrrmph.

I suppose if I really think about it, there have been a couple of Highlights. Firstly, a few weeks ago, Aunty Amanda noticed that I always take over Max's personal resting space when I'm over there, so she decided to give it to me. It's not as if Max ever used it, and anyway, it was my way of telling him I'm in charge, even if it's just over him. It was a very generous and well informed decision, as is always to be expected from Aunty Amanda, but She says I'm just attention seeking. That's because it wasn't any fun to use it in my own house, because I wasn't displacing Max. Anyway, when Jock was here, he wanted to use it, so of course, I let him. Jock is a whole different dawg to Max. But after Jock left, I finally claimed it as mine - clearly a desireable piece of furniture - and I insisted it get placed in the library. That means She and I now have matching personal resting spaces, where we can retire to read, write and relax, as the occasion demands. And woe betide anyone who wants to use it now... (except maybe Jock...)

The other highlight was chasing reptiles and amphibians around my Adventure Playground. I started on a tunnel, but She put paid to that. She said if Brisbane City Council wanted me to connect with the North South tunnel, they would have put out a tender for the addition and made me submit my plans for approval.


As I understand it, indiscriminate digging with no end (or reptile) in sight is not going to be tolerated, regardless of my engineering skills. As a consequence, I paid the ultimate price!
