I looked out of the kitchen window earlier to see a caterpillar climbing up the other side. My Mistress killed a large spider which was clutching in its eight hairy legs a caterpillar. This is not good. I\u2019m half expecting them to move in to my bed next and I don\u2019t like sharing. Ari has taken a different approach. He isn\u2019t one to be put off easily. He\u2019s found the pile of \u2018ex vegetables\u2019 that my Mistress has discarded in trying limit the problem and he\u2019s munching his way through them including the caterpillars. My Mistress is refusing to let him kiss her. I think rather sadly, he may be the culprit that is bringing them into the house.<\/p>\n
My Master had his first rehearsal for the village pantomime last night. This is where our house goes into a frenzy of silly lines like \u2018He\u2019s behind you\u2019 for no apparent reason and much to the confusion of visitors. Any statement may be randomly greeted with \u2018Oh no it isn\u2019t\u2019, which in the middle of a serious conversation can put the speaker well and truly off their original thought.<\/p>\n
Megan enjoyed yesterday\u2019s walk so much that she was off and running and didn\u2019t want to come back. I think she\u2019d found a dead rabbit or some other delicacy but she won\u2019t admit anything in case my Mistress won\u2019t let her run in the same area later today. In the end my Mistress just stood behind a tree out of sight until Megan thought maybe she just ought to check she hadn\u2019t been left behind. The problem is she won\u2019t be caught by that ruse two days running. My Mistress said it\u2019s not so bad if the weather is good and she can just listen to her book until Megan bothers to return. She\u2019s still listening to Les Miserables and only has another 18 hours of the 60+ hours to go!<\/p>\n
