Aristotle here everyone. I\u2019m planning to spend the day putting together my Christmas list. I\u2019ve been thinking of all the little things that would make my life easier. So far, I\u2019ve got down a little set of steps to climb up onto the settee with. Actually we could do with buying them in bulk so there are some by the bed as well. Obviously, I\u2019m going to want a bone or two but I\u2019m not really a very demanding dog, so I don\u2019t think there are many other things I need. I\u2019m even prepared to share the steps with the others as long as I can book time on the settee whenever I want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Mistress, who complains every year about the ridiculous idea of \u2018Black Friday\u2019, was a little quiet about it yesterday. It turned out she\u2019d managed to buy our Master\u2019s birthday present at a good discount and also some outdoor fairy lights she\u2019d had her heart set on. The lights are to replace the ones she got last year that only lasted two days until she ran over the cable. This time she has gone for ones that work by battery so that there won\u2019t be any leads running across the drive. We will just have to wait to see if they last for more than two days! They should be arriving today but I think she\u2019s said that Christmas can\u2019t actually begin until the first of December, so we may have to wait until Thursday to see how they look. I think she\u2019s hoping to go to buy a tree next weekend too, so I shall be volunteering to help with decorating that. I just need to get her to turn her mind to baking for Christmas then, although obviously only if what she\u2019s baking is dog friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
