Bird Table<\/h2>\n\n\n

Bird Table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Well, this is our Mistress\u2019s new bird table and I have to say it is pretty cool. It\u2019s out of harm\u2019s way for me cocking my legging, although to be fair I don\u2019t actually do that. It is proving quite popular with the local birds too. I didn\u2019t manage to get a picture with any of them actually on it, but our Mistress has been delighted to find we have a pair of robins rather than just a single bird. So far she has also seen a blackbird, a starling, a great tit and a sparrow. There are also the obligatory pigeons, but I guess that can\u2019t be helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one problem with our Mistress\u2019s whole plan at the moment is that having bought bird food in bulk, there is nowhere suitable to put it away that is also convenient to the front door. At least until our Master goes away this week. She has had an idea of where to put it, but it means moving his toolbox. Her logic is that he\u2019s going to need to take the toolbox with him to where he lives in Switzerland. She still has her own tools dotted around the place, although has never bought a fancy box to put them in. If she just moves his toolbox then she thinks the bird food can be stored in its place. If nothing else, it will be a while before he notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reality of our Master going away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of the reality of our Master going away hit me yesterday. He had a lovely cuddle with me and said how much he will miss me. He may not see me for quite a few weeks. That thought made me realise how real it all is. Oh there have been times when I\u2019ve not seen him for a few days because he\u2019s gone away for work, or when they have been on holiday with out me, but it\u2019s never been for that long. I\u2019m going to miss him. We\u2019re all going to miss him. I know our Mistress plans to have video calls with him when she can\u2019t see him, but they don\u2019t work so well for us. We like to sniff and touch rather than just see someone. I\u2019m going to ask if I can have one of his jumpers in my bed with me so I can smell him even when he\u2019s not here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
