Off we go again. After a night in the garage with my paternal grandparents, it\u2019s off to Middlesbrough. Perhaps I should rephrase that, they weren\u2019t in the garage with me. My grandparents were in the house, it\u2019s just that it was their garage. It\u2019s nothing personal that I have to sleep in the garage, but Bertie and Misskin have a better night\u2019s sleep if they aren\u2019t worrying that I am going to come and chase them. All I can say is it cut\u2019s both ways. I like my sleep and from observation of Bertie he doesn\u2019t need as much sleep as I do and I really don\u2019t want to be woken by being bopped on the nose by a cat, even if it is a very cute fluffy cat. If the weather is ok I get to sit out on the decking behind the house until bedtime. It is great fun as Bertie comes and sits at the window to keep an eye on me and I just sit there waving occasionally. I think he is a bit put out that I even come to his house.<\/p>\n
It is going to be horribly quiet when we get to Middlesbrough and drop the children off. Perhaps horribly was the wrong word. I will miss then but it will be nice not having three people saying \u201cAlfie don\u2019t do that\u201d, \u201cAlfie Leave\u201d, particularly when most of the times I was minding my own business and not actually doing anything anyway. Even though my master might push me out of bed, when I have taken up his side, both he and my mistress are big softies really and I don\u2019t get told off very often at all. It may be because I\u2019m perfect, but I don\u2019t like to boast.<\/p>\n
