Our Mistress and D\u2019Artagnan were last heard of in New York and then catching a flight to the UK. They should be landing fairly soon and we are all very excited about seeing them. I\u2019m only hoping they have remembered to bring me back a nice present. Of course it is them I want to see and the present is just a bonus, but it\u2019s an important bonus so I wouldn\u2019t like it to be overlooked. She\u2019s going to need a suit of armour on when she sees us all as we\u2019re not very good at containing our excitement when she hasn\u2019t seen us for a while.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t tell you the odd thing that happened with our Mistress\u2019s car hire. She was on her way from Concordia to Georgetown and passing Denver on route, when she got a call from the hire company saying they had sold the car so if she was in the area could she take it in and swap it. Sadly she was and did and the one she got instead wasn\u2019t nearly so good, so she wasn\u2019t very happy. It didn\u2019t really have a big enough engine for the driving she did in the mountains so all the time when she wanted to overtake someone she found she didn\u2019t have enough engine power to go anywhere. She says she was glad she hadn\u2019t had that one for the long from Denver to Concordia and back as it would have been no fun at all.<\/p>\n
Another thing I forgot to tell you was how excited she was at seeing chipmunks. She has always had a soft spot for them and loves seeing them in the wild. She\u2019d quite like to see a bear from a distance too, but she didn\u2019t see any of those. There was a hummingbird, which is the first she has ever seen not in a bird sanctuary.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m off to tidy up so things don\u2019t look too bad when she gets here.<\/p>\n
