The crow deterrent hasn\u2019t been a total success then! They were back to tapping again yesterday which either means it hasn\u2019t worked or they\u2019ve found a way round it. Our Mistress is going to put one more spiked strip on another point they might be standing but if that has not effect she may have to progress to the more vicious looking spikes you can buy. Failing that she will be declaring war!<\/p>\n
Mum\u2019s season still hasn\u2019t started. She really is going for the maximum inconvenience factor and our Mistress is singularly unimpressed. She\u2019s had a hard enough week without Shadow adding to the difficulties, but that\u2019s our mum for you! She had to have a day off walking yesterday too, our mum that is, not our Mistress. She was back to limping and so despite her asking to go out she was told she needed to put her paws up for the day. I said I\u2019d go out on her behalf but apparently it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n
Our Mistress is supposed to be away this weekend in Alfie\u2019s little car, but because she thought she\u2019d either be away with Shadow or back and looking after her they had to make the decision for our Master to take Andy instead. That means we\u2019ve got a whole weekend of just our Mistress and we\u2019re wondering how to make the most of it. I know she has in mind going and cheering herself up by eating a large slice of cake at Beningbrough Hall and going to the pub for doughnuts, but I\u2019m sure she\u2019d rather stay snuggled up on the couch with us if we asked her nicely enough. I voted for a duvet day and Alfie thought that would be good too. Shadow wanted something a bit more active and we\u2019re still waiting for our Mistress\u2019s verdict.<\/p>\n
