My Mistress is bad enough when she\u2019s feeling down, but she\u2019s insufferable when she\u2019s happy. The sun shone yesterday and on top of that she bought tickets to see her favourite musician, Billy Joel, when he comes to England later in the year. The combination of the two things was too much. She was singing while she worked! How is a dog to sleep in circumstances like that? I know it\u2019s good to let your hair down occasionally but she\u2019s got an awful lot of hair when she lets it down! She said she\u2019s just got \u2018that Friday feeling\u2019 and of course it was Friday, but there are limits and singing is going too far. She played music in the afternoon, which at least meant it was in tune, but then she shouted at the computer (from which it was playing) when the band got the lyrics grammatically incorrect. I went off into the other room to get some peace and quiet.<\/p>\n
When I think about the week from her point of view, I guess she had every reason to feel happy. Basil has qualified for Crufts, her book is out in paperback as well as ebook, she\u2019s been invited to go on the radio on Monday and she\u2019s got her concert tickets \u2013 not a bad week really. You\u2019d think she could at the very least buy me a new juicy bone and maybe a few biscuits. At least we\u2019re planning a day in the garden today as long as the weather stays good. There is the small matter of transplanting the peas as she\u2019s realised they won\u2019t have enough room for canes under the insect netting. Once she\u2019s done that she can move some of the cauliflowers into the gaps left by the peas to spread them out a bit more. I get tired just watching. I\u2019m just hoping she can throw a ball for me while she\u2019s doing it.<\/p>\n
