I’m still waiting for my test results and now I’ve got a problem with my eye. I don’t want to say anything, but the rate it’s going I may have to. I think I got something in it when I was walking on Sunday, but try as I might I can’t get it to stop hurting. It’s just sore. I’ve tried looking in the mirror and I can’t see anything, but there is definitely something irritating it. Maybe this is what getting older feels like, lots of bits of you not quite right, but very little you can put your paw on. It meant I was in two minds about going for a walk yesterday and in the end opted again. It was windy out and I thought that might make it feel worse.
Ari is going through an annoying phase of raiding the bathroom bins. He’s been eating our Mistress’s tissues too which is not a habit she wants to encourage. It’s funny, when you go upstairs and find a cotton bud half way up. Not funny in a good way! It’s only stuff our Mistress has used that he takes. He sorts through it and leaves the stuff from anyone else. I think he’s weird!
The weather was very autumnal yesterday. It didn’t get light enough to turn the office light off until about 2pm and then it had to be turned back on about 4.30. My Mistress says it’s times like this she’s glad she doesn’t live in Scandinavia. She can’t imagine what it would be like to have days that never get light at all. I think it’s darker in the office because the leaves seem to be steadfastly staying on the trees this year. Some are starting to fall, but they do seem to be hanging in there.
