Now I know why potato starch can be used as glue. We had a small incident with a blender and some glue last night. When I say \u2018we\u2019 it wasn\u2019t actually me this time. My mistress had this \u2018bright\u2019 idea. She wanted to mash some potato but couldn\u2019t be bothered for the time it would take with a fork. The real problem started with buying a different type of potato that do not spontaneously disintegrate on cooking. For some reason my mistress thought this would be better for the times she didn\u2019t want mashed potato. Anyway, the long and the short of it was that she put the potato in the blender and created the most wonderful sticky sludge imaginable. The problems were firstly, getting the mash out of the blender to eat and secondly, cleaning the blender. The potato didn\u2019t want to let go. It took longer to clean than it would to have mashed them all by hand. I just hope she learns the lesson, as she really wasn\u2019t very happy.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to an exciting weekend of having my master and mistress at my beck and call. I have decided that this weekend we will do the things I want to do. There will be a long walk, then a few games in the garden, maybe one or two games of tug in the house and then a happy sleep in front of a nice log fire. I have got my master to buy into the sleep in front of the fire so far. I may need to do some further work on them both if I am to get all my requests. I\u2019ve been wondering if I could find a way to \u2018persuade\u2019 my mistress to take up my case. It used to work to threaten to shake my Miffy toy, but sadly it is so far past shaking that I think I need another idea.<\/p>\n
