Yesterday I wished for warmer weather and that\u2019s exactly what I got. It was a lovely sunny day here and we were all a lot happier for it. Anyway today I\u2019m going to wish for the crows to stop tapping on the window and see if that one can be fulfilled as quickly. 4.36am is not a time of day that either I or my Mistress want to be woken by crows. I think I told you that we\u2019ve sent for birds of prey stickers to go on the windows and I have to say I am now questioning the sanity of our Mistress in refusing to pay postage and opting for the slower delivery time. In reality you can\u2019t put a price on a good night\u2019s sleep. Our Master has suggested we go out and invite some of the real birds of prey in to sit on the landing in the meantime, but I have to say that plan could make trips to the bathroom very hairy in the middle of the night. The owls aren\u2019t really big enough to deal with the crows and I don\u2019t really know about the red kites we see. I think we might need something at least the size of a buzzard to be on the safe side or maybe just invite a large cat to move in, although that might be fraught with difficulties too.<\/p>\n
Ari\u2019s Tracca has arrived for him to test. His neck is too big for the collar that comes with it, so he\u2019s now sporting a rather swish new leather collar as it wouldn\u2019t go on his old purple spotty one. He looks very proud in it, but then I guess he\u2019ll want to tell you about that. He can\u2019t start his trial yet as he\u2019s waiting for his sim card to arrive. He\u2019s going to be unbearable with his own mobile phone number! I can see my naps being disturbed with the classic phone calls of \u201cHello, I\u2019m on a walk.\u201d<\/p>\n
