It will never last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know when your human tells you something and you just want to say \u2018it will never last\u2019 \u2013 well, that! Mum began a diet yesterday. Now, I\u2019m no expert, but I\u2019ve lived with her for a while and the only month of the year that she starts a diet and sticks to it for much more than 24 hours is May. I think it\u2019s because it\u2019s warm and sometimes sunny. When the weather is getting colder and the sky in England is invariably grey, is not the time to start a diet. You ask squirrel! He\u2019s busy eating us out of house and home (and not posing for pictures). He\u2019s certainly not starting a diet. Now is the time to curl up and hibernate. It is the time to eat as much as I like and just blame it on \u2018winter\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scavenger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You should see Aristotle trying to scavenge everything he can find. If Mum goes to the loo when he\u2019s in the office, as soon as she has left the room he stands up to her desk to check if there is any food left. He often gives himself away by accidentally typing on the keyboard and not knowing how to delete it. He also sometimes finds himself on camera as he didn\u2019t realise a video call was running. He does the same in the kitchen. I don\u2019t know why he thinks she doesn\u2019t know. She always carefully puts away any knives or things he shouldn\u2019t have before she goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wardrobe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The wardrobe project is not going well. Actually, it\u2019s not going at all. The first day wasn\u2019t too bad, but Mum then realised what a big job it is and now seems to prefer looking at it than actually doing it. So much for having it done before Dad comes home in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
