I have been left with a long list of jobs to do for the weekend, ok so not that long but I\u2019m still worried I\u2019m going to forget. It\u2019s my job to water the vegetables and it has been very specifically explained to me that that does not involve peeing on them. I can just about get the hose pipe at the right angle as long as someone else is there to turn on the tap. The problem comes if I haven\u2019t got it hooked quite right and it sprays all over me. Before she went my Mistress removed the cover to take a look and to weed them. It\u2019s amazing that even off the ground and covered in mesh they can still get weeds, there were only 3 but it was 3 more than she wanted there. I suppose it\u2019s down to the birds dropping things as they go over. She then removed the weed from the strawberries and despite my standing there saying \u2018you need some gloves you\u2019re going to sting yourself, it\u2019s a nettle\u2019, I still got the opportunity to say \u2018well don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t warn you\u2019, after she\u2019d got hold of it and then decided to put some gloves on. I\u2019ve never forgiven nettles since the time I squatted down to go to the toilet and stung my bottom. I don\u2019t know which was more upsetting, my stung bottom or my Mistress laughing at me.<\/p>\n
Aristotle was getting very excited about seeing Megan when he set off. I hope she\u2019s pleased to see him. It\u2019s going to break his little heart if she acts all cool and doesn\u2019t tell him she\u2019s missed him. He\u2019s such a loving little fellow and he thinks the world of her. I shall look forward to hearing from him later.<\/p>\n
