Well the pantomime is all over for another year. The mouse didn\u2019t make a final appearance and wasn\u2019t there to take a bow. To be honest it seems a shame after all the interest it caused, but hopefully it has moved out and found somewhere to live where there will be less disruption. As there were some spare feathers from the hat repairs, my Mistress has put them in a pile in our loft so that our mice might be tempted to come and take them for nesting. It will be a way to find out where exactly they are nesting at the moment. There hasn\u2019t actually been any sign of them in the last week, so my Mistress isn\u2019t sure whether ours might have moved out too.<\/p>\n
Thankfully Shadow got through the pantomime without her season starting, so we really are now into a waiting game to see when it will be. My Mistress has money on it being around two weeks\u2019 time, but I think she will hold on until after Christmas just to keep the suspense going. At least there is time to plan things in a more leisurely fashion. I think the main focus now is to get Christmas all sorted and make sure my Mistress\u2019s work is up to date. As long as I don\u2019t have to go Christmas shopping I don\u2019t mind! Having said that, I was wondering whether now I\u2019m a little older I might be suited to playing the role of Father Christmas in a grotto somewhere. I thought Ari would make an excellent supporting elf. I\u2019m sure children would love to come and sit with me and tell me what they wanted for Christmas. Sitting on my knee would be a little harder, but I\u2019m sure we could get round that with a little thought.<\/p>\n
