\u201cMark it on the calendar,\u201d he said. \u201cToday is the day I got up and got you breakfast in bed.\u201d Well to be honest, it was the day my master got up and got my mistress breakfast in bed, sparked by Andy wanting a drink and my mistress not going because she wasn\u2019t feeling too good. Sadly, when my master came back to bed he had forgotten to get a drink for Andy. Equally sadly, we will be marking the day on the calendar but in a \u2018laugh about it\u2019 sort of a way. When my mistress picked up her bowl of Frosties she said \u201cThis bowl feels sticky. Where did you get it from?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clean,\u201d said my master, \u201cit came out of the dishwasher.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I hadn\u2019t put the dishwasher on,\u201d said my mistress \u201cit is fully of dirty plates.\u201d And sure enough my master had managed to use a bowl that last held ice cream and hadn\u2019t yet been washed. They do so it is the thought that counts and despite having to get up and get a fresh lot of Frosties in a clean bowl, I know my mistress did appreciate the thought. To be fair I think my master was forgiven more quickly than I was having been outside and then come back to join them in bed, bringing half the garden with me. What is it with mud? It sticks to you and won\u2019t come off when you are in a place it doesn\u2019t matter and then the minute you are on a white duvet cover, it all falls off around you. James tried suggesting that I should be put in the bath and scrubbed. I got the last laugh though as my master and mistress seemed to think it might be more fun to put James in the bath and scrub him. He said \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t dare.\u201d Even I know that isn\u2019t a line to use with my mistress. I\u2019m just sitting back to see what happens.<\/p>\n
