Apparently she is going into her old office next week to 'give them a hand' poor things. She SAYS they have asked her to but I wonder if they don't just feel a bit sorry for her now she has retired. They probably imagine she has nothing to do now, instead of which we are walking more, getting more website work done and HOOVERING!
She has gone a bit mad now (between you and I). The other day she announced that she had got a new ANIMAL. Well I tell you I was horrified! What sort I wondered would it be? A lion or a tiger or worse still a cat? She loves cats [but I don't] so as we are presently without one (since our lovely Creasey died) I keep reminding her 'just in case'.
Anyway, I digress. The following day the doorbell went and she said the 'Animal had arrived'. It was in a huge box so I escorted it in just to be on the safe side, to protect and guard her you understand. She was giggling and fussing about like a nit-wit and opening the box and I was very apprehensive, getting ready to pounce in case of need and so on and so on.
Believe it or not it was a vaccuum cleaner! A VACCUM CLEANER. We already have a red cylinder sucky thing that tries to get up my dog hairs (and is OK but she grumbles a bit that it does not do it quick enough or something). Anyway, this thing - the ANIMAL - is silver and lavender and whizzes around like mad and sucks up all the pet hairs and grit; she had an initial play with it (the boss went out to the allotment of course "out of the way he said") and I had to supervise.
I don't like the noise but kept my distance and admired the thing and all that and listened whilst she told the boss all about it on his return, insisting he admired the carpets and goodness me you would have thought we had had some sort of miracle instead of just a bit of vacuuming!
Thankfully she has put it in the cupboard under the stairs and uses is normally from time to time (still singing its praises) but I am working hard at providing te pet hairs to use all thetime, so I am not obsolete of course.
Shhhhhhhhhhh (here she comes) - don't let her read this bit otherwise it will remind her about it and she will get it out and start zooming around - just when it is nice and peaceful!
Dear little robin has been again today (as usual) and we have had a chat and I told him/her all about this stuff and it was very sympathetic.
Bye for now .. back later

Hey Chez! I really like your blog!
My mum is also very busy at the PC, and even with her camera Old Betty, which I think she loves almost more than me. And she seems to be addicted to taking pictures of the red deer in our garden.
Got to go now. Woff!

Hi again! I don´t need to ask her for permission to put up my picture here on your blog,because that is only up to you and me. I guess your mum has got the best pictures there is of me. Just ask her and you will see. And give her a warning that my mum probably will send her more of the stupid red deer pictures.
Lick! Signe
