Do not talk to my Mistress today. She is not in a good mood and is very stressed about her keyboard exam this afternoon. It\u2019s her own fault. When she got a distinction in grade one she set the bar a little higher than was likely to be attainable again. Let\u2019s face it when you have a knuckle that needs replacing any sort of keyboard playing is bound to be more difficult, but she doesn\u2019t cut herself any slack and some of the things she has to do are not going well. She is not happy. It would be far better if it were a morning exam, but it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s late afternoon so we have to suffer her being like this all day. I suggested she should just go out and I\u2019d look after the others, but she doesn\u2019t want to do that. Ah well. She\u2019ll either pass or she\u2019ll fail and either way we\u2019ll love her just as much. Dogs don\u2019t pay much heed to whether you have any certificates on the walls or not. We\u2019re simple souls, just scratch us behind the ear and we\u2019ll love you for life.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s surprising. The roof box is now fitted to the car and it doesn\u2019t look nearly so big. We did prove that you get a person in the roof box as we had to send Andy up to complete the fitting as no one could quite reach inside at the back to finish the fitting. Fortunately he is very strong so my Mistress isn\u2019t worried that it won\u2019t be screwed on tightly enough. She is more concerned that it will be done so tightly that she will never be able to undo it. She did tell Andy that if he misbehaved he\u2019d be travelling in the roof box, but fortunately I don\u2019t think he believed her.<\/p>\n
