As if life were not busy enough, my Mistress has received a recall notice on her car. In normal circumstances that would be an annoyance but one which could be dealt with, the problem is that the manufacturer doesn’t have any local dealers. They closed the ones that were near us. The nearest is now 40 miles away and not somewhere we ever have cause to go. She is going to ring and talk to them to see what can be done, but she’s not best pleased! She is more focussed on finding the time to get the winter tyres fitted to the car so she’s ready to go with Shadow whenever that needs to be. Shadow is not giving us any clues at all yet. She’s obviously hormonal because she’s being nice to everyone. She’s always more affectionate before her season starts. She goes back to normal afterwards, which is always a shame!
When she went to the Post Office in the neighbouring village yesterday, My Mistress came back all excited as they are selling Christmas trees. They sell them every year, I think the exciting point was suddenly realising it’s December and it won’t be long until it’s Christmas. What she thought she was writing Christmas cards and buying presents for I’m not really sure. That’s humans for you! Now we just need to see if she buys us a tree. I think she will as she doesn’t think it feels like Christmas without one, it’s just with everything else she might think it’s a waste of time. I like having it there so hopefully she’ll do it for me. She will need to get my Master to go with her. It’s not just because he finds it easier to carry than our Mistress, he’s also very good at choosing trees on prior years’ experience.
