Grandpa is 91 today, which makes him much older than me. He\u2019s fitter than me too. Our Mistress says he\u2019s fitter than she is and that his genes seem to have passed her by. Ah well. Anyway, Grandpa we all hope you have a wonderful day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t suppose it helps our Mistress that we get her up so early in the morning. It was 5.30 again yesterday, but looking on the bright side the moon was still pretty large and it was visible so she went back in to get her camera. On the downside, by the time she\u2019d finished she didn\u2019t feel much like going back to sleep. Or more to the point, she did but there wasn\u2019t all that much opportunity. It was a funny day as the old settee was collected and Wilma is now having to get used to a chair as her favourite place instead. She likes sitting right up close to our Mistress\u2019s desk but wants somewhere a little more comfortable than the floor or my bed that\u2019s just to the side. Anyway, our Mistress\u2019s camera was still on the desk so she ended up taking Wilma\u2019s picture and then again when Wilma came to have a good bark at her because she wasn\u2019t willing to play.<\/p>\n\n\n

On the bright side, it now means that our Mistress will be able to light the fire in the office when it gets cold during the day. We\u2019ll all be choosing our favourite spots in front of the fire then. I might even decide I\u2019d rather be there than in the kitchen. Shadow says she\u2019s happy in the front room even though it won\u2019t be so warm. Although I did hear her asking our Mistress whether she could have her own fire lit on really cold days. Knowing our Mistress she\u2019ll say yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
