Noisy bangies and wotnot. By Bessie

It's bonfire night and Carly is freaked out by the fireworks for the third night in a row.  Hopefully that will be it after tonight til New Years Eve.   She not as bad as some animals though, she just needs lots of cuddles.  Lotty doesn't like them either but she is not much of a cuddler.  She likes her own space so she just sits bolt upright every time she hears a bang or a whistle then she goes back to sleep.  Carly is sitting on our typists lap right now.

Biggest minihuman has gone to the pictures with his friends and middle minihuman has gone to her friends house for tea.  She wasn't supposed to but when Mummy went to pick her up from school she asked if she could go and could Daddy pick her up on his way back from work.  But then when Daddy went to get her she asked if he could come back when he goes to get Tom.  Daddy not impressed that she out wandering the streets on bonfire night but she say she with a big gang so she be OK.  He say that what he's worried about!

We didn't do much today.  We just normally like to have a lazy day on a Monday so Mummy tidied her wardrobe and put all the minihumans old school uniforms in a charity bag and did some cleaning and made some Thai food for the humans tea - well she did call it Asian fusion but that's just what people say when they haven't got a clue what they're making or if crispy seaweed goes with green thai curry (littlest minihuman say no, Mummy and Daddy say yes) - and we just napped and went for a walk down the castle then had our feeties washed cos Mummy doesn't like our paw art on the hall floor for some strange reason.  Then when Mummy got back from picking littlest minihuman up from school she was very cross cos she said she had only been gone for one hour and there was a big poo on the kitchen floor.  BUT I have two things to say in defence:
1.  She wasn't only gone for one hour, she was gone for eleventyseven hours.
2.  It was only a poo.  Least nobody had done a wee under the cooker this time.

Lotty finally starting to put a bit of weight on.  She getting a little tummy and Mummy keeps blowing raspberries on it cos she loves it.

I won a Minnie Mouse bandana in Cat Greyhounds auction.  I can't wait to wear it.

We was going to go on a basset walk on Sunday but the weather forecast was really bad for Yoville (I thought that was a game on Facebook but apparently it's a real place in Somerset.  Fancy that).  It even said it might snow on the hills and we think the walk was up a hill - they usually are.  So we stayed home instead and just went for a walk round our castle.  It was even muddier than normal cos they was getting all the stuff ready for the firework display and loads of trucks had churned up the ground.  When we got back we all had to have baths.

The humans didn't go to see the fireworks.  Daddy said him has been for 12 years on the run and him fancied a break and anyway Carly needed snuggles.  Then we watched X Factor results and we was all very cross and said we not watching it again (I've heard that before though) and then we watched the last in the series of Downton.  It was very good.  We did laugh about the fuss Carson and Alfred was making about Thomas being a gay.  Hee hee.  Anyway me say no more, me not want to spoil it for my Americaland friends.  As you can see me did put a countdown widget on my blog so we can all wait for the Christmas special.
