\"2015-04-25<\/a>For those of you who know my Mistress on facebook, you\u2019ll realise she got there before me and lots of people seem to like the photograph of her with Aristotle that she is now using as her profile. Well, I\u2019m not to be beaten. Over the coming days I\u2019ll bring you one or two of my favourite photos from our photo shoot. It does seem a little hypocritical given what a bad mood I was in on the day, but even given that, some of them haven\u2019t turned out too badly. It was just one of those days when I was having a grump with everyone, including my Mistress, which has only happened about   three times in the last nine years, so I guess I\u2019ll be forgiven, but the timing wasn\u2019t great. I\u2019ll start with this one today. To be honest, I\u2019m not sure which of us has gone more grey since I had my photo shoot before. My \u2018brown\u2019 bits and my Mistress\u2019s hair were quite similar in shade then and five and half years later they still are, it\u2019s just a different colour! I suppose that growing old together is better than growing old on your own.<\/p>\n

Spring seems to have completely disappeared and my Mistress has gone back to having a log fire blazing in the office. That\u2019s not something I\u2019m going to complain about and was more than happy to curl up for a nap. It\u2019s holding back the gardening as she doesn\u2019t see the point in going out in the cold and rain any more than she absolutely has to and the gardening does not fall into that category! In my book, going for a walk doesn\u2019t fall into that category either. I\u2019ve made a suggestion that we don\u2019t leave the house on any occasion when the actual temperature, or the \u2018feels like\u2019 temperature falls below 10 degrees centigrade. I did put in a bid for 15 but I was told that was unrealistic when living in the UK.<\/p>\n
