Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Eight 

It is not even a bit warm outside today. 

We did not go for an early morning walk today.

But Craig and Zita and I went for a little altogether walk last night. A not so far walk.

Because of my doctor’s rules about my leg having a nice long rest. Oh well.

Zita was working in the garden this morning so I minded Craig.

Right beside him. On the big comfy bed. That is an easy job.

He had to put on a comfy warm shirt. 

Because it was a bit too cold even inside the house.

Our beautiful trees have flowers all over them. That is good.

And they are different colours too. Ha. That is nice.


We had own made muffins for our breakfast. 

Zita made them very early this morning. Ha.

After breakfast I was watching everything from my own window and I saw professor Jill.



She went up to see the nice farmers. 

On the not so very busy anymore Street. 

And she brought us some brand new tasty vegetables. That was very nice. 

But we did not go for a together walk. Too bad for us. 

All my family had a very quiet day. So I had a quiet day too. That is good. 

I minded Craig in the den for a little while. 

He is getting all ready to fight Mister Napoleon. 

Right near where all my family comes from. Ha. Maybe we saw everything. Maybe.

Then when Zita was making a very tasty delicious dinner I helped her. In the kitchen. 

We made a fat round own made bread. 



All by ourselves. 

I always get treats for being such a good kitchen helper. 

Then Zita helped Niamh. 

Niamh was changing her bedroom all around again. 

Because now she has giant plants in her bedroom. Ha. 

Maybe lions will come and live there. Maybe.

And Zita found Craig his old friend the pretend animal Rhinoceros. Ha.

Rhinoceros are very very fierce. 

Some people just shoot animals. For no reason. That is not all right.

So Rhinoceros have a sharp pointy horn to stick into those nasty people. 

And very big feet to squish them flat. Ha. Good for them.

Craig said he had a very lazy afternoon. 

But it was only him. Everybody else was very busy. Me too.

We are going to have outside cooked sausages for our dinner tonight. That is good. 

Sometimes I get sausage treats. But not all the time. 

Because sometimes they all just get all eaten. Oh dear. Too bad for me. 

Tonight maybe we will watch the up north in Finland detective tonight. On the television. In the den. 


Saturday 30 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Seven

Craig did not go to his old friends picnic today. Too bad for him.

Because it was all rainy outside last night.

And the park’s grass was too wet for a picnic. Oh dear.

So he had a nice sleep in instead. 

Zita and I did not have a sleep in at all.

Because she had to talk to her mother and father in way far away Dublin.

And then she talked to her brother Uncle Ciaran in way far away Celbridge. 

So I minded her right in the living room. On the comfy rug.

When she was all finished talking to way far away Craig was all awake.

And he made everybody their own too much coffees. And Zita made us some toasts.

And we ate them outside.



In our very own side yard. 

Because is was not too hot outside today. 

So we could be outside and not get all sweaty smelly. Ha. That is good.

Then the black go fast car took Zita and Niamh on an adventure.

Right to Mister Saint Albert’s delicious lots of cheese store. That is a very tasty store. 

And you do not even have to go into the store.

Because they bring all the delicious cheese right to your car. Ha. 

And they found a beautiful plants store on their drive.



And they filled the black car all up. Right to the very top. Our garden will be very happy. Ha.

Craig and I had a very relaxing afternoon.  

He just read his book and I minded him. 

And we had a peanut butter and honey sandwich for our lunch. 

We used the new all brown bread. It is very tasty bread. 

But it had oatmeal on top. I do not know why.

Maybe it is Scotsmen’s bread. Maybe.

When Zita and Niamh came home they had all the plants ever.



And Niamh got some for her own bedroom. 



Even the very biggest one. Ha.

And they had a very big bag full up with Mister Saint Albert’s own cheese. 

And an apple pie too. 

And Niamh found my favourite noisy collar. In the go fast car. That is very good. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. With brand new delicious cheese. Ha. 

I had tasty chicken pieces on my dinner tonight. That was a very nice dinner. 

We will watch the from way up north detective tonight. That is a good program. 


Friday 29 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Six

It is still a bit too hot for nice good morning walks. So we stayed in our house.

Craig did not have even a very little sleep in today.

But I could not have our together toasts with him. 

Because I was way too busy being Zita’s special helper. 



In our own rascal ladies office. Ha. Good for me.

Our front yard trees have beautiful smelly flowers on them. That is good. 

It is nice to have smelly flowers when you open the front door.

After lunch I minded Craig in the living room. 



He had to play with his giant little castle again. Ha. 

Now it is even bigger with even another tower. 

And there is a big black fierce Bouvier dog guarding the front door.



Maybe it is me. Maybe. That is a good castle.

Emmet left one of his very important interesting books in way far away Ireland.

So the present man will bring us a new one. Nearly right away. That is good.

Niamh is very busy. Because now she has another new story to write. Oh dear.

I had a very tasty lunch. With bagel cheese on top. Ha. 

Then I minded Zita in our office all afternoon. It is my job.



Because I am her very best special assistant. It is known. 

We will not have our altogether dinner tonight.

Because Emmet and Niamh and Miss Tarryn and all the Mahoneys are play the dragons game tonight.

So it will only be Craig and Zita and I upstairs together tonight. Oh well. Too bad for us.

We watched the very last program with the nice detective last night. Oh dear. 

But Craig and Zita said maybe they could find some old ones they did not see. Maybe.



Thursday 28 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Five

It was still too hot for nice walks outside today. So we stayed inside.

It is all nice and cool in our house.

Because the man fixed our make the house nice and cool machine. Ha.

Last night Niamh went outside so she could go fast on her fast board. 

With Miss Tarryn too. Up on the not so very busy street.

She did not fall off and did not brake herself at all. That is good. 

I helped Zita this morning in our own rascal ladies office. 

And I had toasts with my friend Craig too. I was very busy this morning. 

So I got the special for bagels cheese on my breakfast today. Ha. That is a tasty treat.

Craig finished his little giant castle. Again. 

Whenever he finishes it he finds new parts and then he makes it even bigger. Oh dear.


He found the go up and down door. Ha. It was not lost.

And he put little soldiers right in the castle. Ha. I was a big help. 

And now the giant break castle walls machine works too. Ha. 



Then I had a nice nap. In my office. So I could mind my friend Zita too.

Niamh had a squeaky clean shower. 

Maybe she was very dirty from her riding on her go fast board last night. Maybe.

And Emmet is very busy with his very old stories. 

He said he is going to be busy for a very long time. 

Because the stories are very hard to read. 



And the people who wrote them were not such very neat writers. Oh dear. 

Yesterday the present man brought Craig a brand new book. 

It another story about the policeman in way far away France.

Who has the very brave not so tall dog who helps him. 

And a very noisy from England car. Oh dear. Those are good books.

Mister Paul came to our house so he could borrow the go fast car. I do not know why. Oh well.

I had a very busy afternoon. I minded Niamh outside in our side yard. 

When she was writing her next new story for her interesting class. 

And then I helped Zita with our rascal ladies work. Ha. 

I am always a big help. It is my best job.

We are not going to have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Emmet is playing with his other friends. Oh well.

Niamh is finished her next interesting story for her nice university. That is good. 

But she is going to have her dinner with me. And Craig and Zita too. That is good.

 


Wednesday 27 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Four

Everybody had a very quiet day today.

Because it is another way too hot outside day today.

So we did not go for a good morning walk. 

Craig did not even have a little sleep in. 

Because it was a bit too hot in the comfy bed. Oh dear. 

And a man had to come to fix the keep the house cool as can be machine.

So my house was only a bit cool this morning.

So we kept all the curtains nearly closed. To keep the too hot outside. 

But Zita left a bit open right at my watching window. So I could watch everything. 

Because it is my job. Ha.

Zita found even more boxes of little knights and even lots and lots of animals. 

Even elephants. Ha. 

Maybe they are Punic elephants. Maybe.

They are my favourite elephants. Ha.

Then Craig had to put all the knights and soldiers in the right boxes. Oh dear.

That took a very long time. I could not help so I had a nap instead. 

Then after lunchtime the man came. 

And he brought a brand new part to put in the machine.

So now the house is newly all comfy cool again.

We are going to have an altogether dinner tonight.

Because Tara is busy tonight and could not play dragons with everybody. 

So they changed the day. That is a good idea.

Last night Craig forgot it was my dinnertime. He was reading his book. And I had to remind him. By myself.


So I just stare at him. For a long time. And then he remembers. Ha. 

A man came to my house today. With ice cream. 

Miss Tarryn sent it to Niamh. Because our house was not so cool. 

So Niamh could have some ice cream. 

And not be too hot when she did her reading for her nice university. That was a very nice present.

Yesterday Niamh talked to Miss Tarryn. Right in front of our house.


But Niamh was on the other side of our street. 

Because of the do not get sick rules. 

Because nobody wants to get sick and maybe just die. Oh dear.


Tuesday 26 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Three 

We had Craig’s sing happy birthday party last night. Ha.

With an all on fire cake that Niamh made. Ha.

And we sang the happy birthday song. That is my favourite song.

And I am a beautiful singer. Niamh told me. Ha. 

I did not even forget Craig’s happy birthday present. I did not know that. Ha. 

I got him a little machine to keep his face neat and tidy. Ha. I am glad I did not forget.

Zita made him peanut candy. All by herself.

And Emmet and Niamh got him the very tasty special jam. Right from Mister Saint Albert’s store. 

That was a good sing happy birthday party. 

We only went for a little walk this morning.

Because it is a way too hot day today. 

So we put brand new water in the outside bathtub for our birds. 

So they can have a keep you cool bath. Ha. 


We put the giant little castle on a table in the living room. 

So Craig can fill it up with little soldiers. Ha. 



And we found even more boxes of very little soldiers in the basement. Ha. 

Niamh and Lee went for a lovely walk. Even in the too hot. Oh well. 

Emmet is still very busy reading his very very old stories. 


But sometimes he thinks they are wrong. And silly. Ha.

Zita had to get some special stuff at our nice hardware store.

Because there was a giant bug with kabillions on legs in Niamh’s bedroom. Oh dear me. That is not nice.

So I minded Craig and he read some of his new story to me. 


Now he is a not so very famous knight. 

And he has a fierce horse and a fierce dog. But they are not such good listeners. Oh dear.

After lunchtime Zita put the make the house cool machine on. 

So I had my nice nap on the nice cool kitchen floor. That is a nice floor.

But then the machine just stopped. Oh dear. 

So Zita had to telephone a man to come to our house to fix it. Oh dear. 

This afternoon Craig found his knock down castle walls machine. Ha. 

That is his favourite. Emmet’s too. 

I think we will have an altogether dinner tonight. That is good. 

It was too hot for a before dinner walk today. 

I did not mind. I do not like being a too hot dog. 

Maybe we will just have ice cream for our dinner tonight. Maybe. 

Or maybe just happy birthday cake. Ha. 



Monday 25 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty Two

It is my friend Craig’s sing happy birthday day. Oh dear me.

I nearly just almost forgot it.

But Zita remembered it for me. Oh dear.

We did not get get way too early this morning. That is good.

And we did not go for our good morning walk.

Because it is a wet rainy day. And we did not want to be all soggy.

Craig only had a very little sleep in. Oh dear.

You should have nice long cosy bed sleep ins for you birthday day. 

So Craig and I had bananas bread for our together breakfast.

And a table right in the living room for the castle. Ha. Castles are Craig’s favourite. Mine too. Ha.

So Craig and Emmet and Niamh made a giant little castle. Right on the dining room table. Ha.




With lots of fierce knights. On horses too. And a  fierce dragon too. Ha. 



I could not help because I was very busy being Zita’s helper assistant. 

Because we were very busy with the rascal ladies work. 

So Emmet and Niamh helped him.

Just like when they were little. Before I was their very best friend. Ha.

And we had little roll ups from way far away China for our lunch. 

Then I had a lovely nap. 

Emmet found a nice place to live in way far away Cork. In a house. With some of his friends.

But he does not know when the university will be all open again. Oh dear. 

Until Zita was all finished her work and we went for our slow little walk. Ha.

We are going to have own made pizzas for our dinner tonight. Ha.

Pizzas are my favourite.

So she had to have her too much coffees right away. 

Then she talked to her mother in far away Dublin. On the telephone.

So I minded Zita. Right there. On the comfy rug.

Then Craig was all awake too. 

He only had a very little sleep in today. I do not know why.

So Craig and I had bananas bread for our together breakfast. Ha. Bananas bread is very tasty too.

Then everybody had squeaky clean showers. 

Because everybody was way too smelly. But not me. 

Because I had a bath not so long ago. Ha.

A little bird fell down in our side yard after lunchtime. I could not go out to help. Oh dear.

But Niamh and Lee and Cara helped it because it could hop as quick as could be.

So they put it in a very safe place. So it could fly away. Ha. That is good.

I did not stay outside so much today. Because it is very hot in my side yard.



Then Craig and Zita went for an adventure walk. In the very hot outside. 

I stayed here to help Niamh write her brand new story. 

When they came back they were nearly all melted away. Oh dear. 

And when Niamh’s head was all full up the old very fast bicycle took her for a windy ride. Ha.

But she did not stay out very long.

Because even the wind is too hot. Oh dear. 

We will not have our altogether dinner tonight.

Because Emmet’s not so far away friends can play the dragons game. 

But only at dinnertime. 

They could not play at the right time today. 

But I do not know why. Oh well.

We did not go for our little walk before dinner.

Because it was still way too hot outside. 

So we stayed here in our nice cool house. 

Sometimes I just lie all on top of the cold air holes. Ha. 

That is a nice place to have a nice nap. When you are too hot. 

Then I minded Craig while he read his new book. Good for me.

We are having eggs for our dinner tonight. 

But eggs are not so interesting as bacon. 

We will not have any bacon tonight.  Oh well. Too bad for me.

We will watch the nice detective tonight.

Saturday 23 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty 

We were very very busy today. 

Craig did not have even a little sleep in today.

Because he went to his old friends breakfast. 

But not in a restaurant. Because the restaurants are all closed up.

So they all went to our beautiful park instead.

And everybody brought their own breakfast. Ha. 

I saw them from my watching window. 

Craig took some of Niamh’s own made from bananas bread. And coffee too. 

That was a good breakfast.

Mister Paul and Robert and Sandra and Mister Tom were all there too. 

And they stayed outside in the beautiful sunshine even until my lunchtime. Ha.

My friend Niamh had a sick tummy this morning. 

But then she took her special for sick tummies medicine. 

And had a nice nap on the sofa. In the living room. I stayed with her so she would not be lonely. Ha

Then when Craig came home she was all better. That was good.

Today was the day to make the house all spic and span. 

But Zita did not use the noisy machine.

Because Niamh was fast asleep in the living room. With me. Ha.

And because she was all better this afternoon Niamh and I made four very delicious from France breads. Ha. 

And I guarded her brand new shoes too.


All by myself. In the kitchen. Ha.

Then Zita helped Craig change another music machine. 



But not any of the ones in the living room.

Only a little one in the den. I do not know why. Oh well.

Then he looked at lots of lots and lots pieces of paper he found. That was not so interesting. 

And Zita remembered all about the noisy make the floors clean machine. Oh well.

So I went to my side yard to play with my big red ball. Ha. 



That is my favourite. Ha.

Then Craig came out to my side yard too. 

Maybe because of the noisy machine. Ha. Good for us. 

We are going to have a nice altogether dinner tonight.

We are going to have Mister Saint Albert’s tasty cheese and Niamh’s brand new own made bread.

So we went to bed.

It is another very beautiful full of lovely sunshine day.

So Zita and I had our little slow walk. Just to our park and back.

Then Zita went to our office to talk to the rascal ladies.

I did not go to help her today.

Because Craig was all wide awake and he needed my help to watch out the window. Ha.

Good for us. 

Our just lots and lots of leafs wall is almost all done. Ha. 



Very soon nobody will be able to see me. Ha. Too bad for them. 

After Craig had his first too many coffees we made a toast. 

From a hamburger bun and with jam too.

Because we ate all of Mister Nicastro’s delicious toasty bread. Oh well.

When Niamh came upstairs I minded her outside in our side yard. 

And I played with the big red ball too. 

We stayed right where there was no sunshine. So we would not get too hot. Good fo us.

Then Emmet was upstairs getting important things to read on the big computer. 

From his university in Cork. 

And he had to talk to one of the students he is helping. In way far away. That is nice.

The present man brought Niamh brand new round pans for make even more delicious cakes.



But they are a bit floppy. Oh well. 

Maybe they are for floppy cakes. Maybe. 

At lunchtime I helped Zita go to another rascal ladies class. 

Right on her computer in our office. That is an easy job.

But after lunchtime I had a very nice nap. Outside in my side yard. 

Craig came outside too. To keep me company.

And to listen to his book. 

But we only stayed in the shadows.



So we would not get way too hot. Good for us. 

It is not so nice to get way too hot. 

That is why we have the keep the house cool machine. And we turned it on today.

Because it is the hot summer time. Ha.

Niamh made some fat bread. She used bananas to make it. Ha. That is tasty bread.

But it is not good morning tasty toasts bread.

Thursday 21 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Eight 

I had a very nice quiet day today. 

Zita and I had a very little slow walk this morning. 

Because of my nice doctor Weller’s rule. 

Craig had a sleep in so he could listen to his book.

But when he was all awake we had our own toasts together.

And then we looked out my watching window. 

And we saw some baby ducks in my pond. Ha. That is good.

Then Craig read his book and I minded him. 



Zita did not need my help this morning. 

Because she just had to go to a course on her computer. About her rascal ladies work. 

That was not so very interesting. So I minded Craig instead.

It is another very beautiful full of sunshine day today. That is good. 


Our trees are almost all full up with their own leafs. 

Because it is summertime. Ha.

I had chicken on my lunch today. Ha. Chicken is my favourite.

I did not have any.

Because was too busy. I had to go and mind Zita in our office. Ha. Good for me.

Then Craig went outside to read his book. 

But it was a little too hot outside this afternoon.

So I minded him from inside our flappy side door. Ha. Good for me. 



Emmet was not so very busy today. 

But he cannot read some of his very important very very old stories.

Because they are in the very old library in his far away in Cork university. 

And the library is still all locked up as tight as can be. Oh dear. 


And nobody knows how to open it. Oh dear me. That is not all right.

Maybe somebody lost the key. 

Sometimes we cannot find the keys for our cars. Oh dear. 

Then everybody has to look all over everywhere. Or the cars cannot go anywhere at all. Oh dear.

Because he could not read his important stories Emmet went for a long walk instead. 

In the blue as can be full of sunshine sky afternoon. 

Sometimes nice by yourself long walks are the best walks. It is known.

Zita and I sometimes have by ourselves nice walks. Just to think. Ha. Those are my favourite walks. 

Last night after the dragons game Niamh and her very fast bicycle went for a ride. And to see Miss Tarryn. 

Up on the busy street. 

But the busy street is not even a bit busy. Because of the rules. 

And Emmet went for his at night walk too. That is a good time for a nice walk.

I went to see my Doctor Waller this morning. At my little hospital.

To see him about my sore leg. Oh dear.

And Zita could not go in with me. Because of the rules. Oh dear.

But I was very brave and went in all by myself. Zita had to stay in our car. 

And Doctor Waller looked at me right away. Because he is my very nice doctor.

But he said I have to have a rest. I cannot go for long walks. Only very short walks.

Until my leg feels all better again. Oh dear me.

But I can still have tasty treats.  And lovely naps. Ha.

When I was at my little hospital Craig’s very fierce animal friends minded our house for me. That was nice.



When we got home Zita had to go to doctor Susan’s house. 

Because there was too much water in her bathroom. Oh dear. That is not all right. 

So a fix the bathroom person has to go to her house. To fix everything again.

We had to put brand new clean water in the bird’s outside bathtub again. 

Because birds get very dirty so we have to put new water in every day. Oh dear.

After lunchtime the not so very fast bicycle took Zita downtown. 

To give someone some money. For the rascal ladies.

Craig and I stayed in my side yard.



And I minded him. All by myself.

Because it is a very lovely beautiful day again today. 

Then when Zita came home I minded her. Outside in the full of sunshine side yard. 

And Mister Paul came over to see us. 

He brought his bicycle. But he could not ride it.

Because it only had empty tires. You can not go fast when your tires are just empty.

So he had to borrow our make your tires round machine. 

Then Craig and Zita and Emmet had a far away visit with Mister Paul. 

With icy cold beers. Ha. And I minded everybody. 

Right there in my own side yard.

Niamh was very busy today.

We went for a nice long walk.

When we got home I minded Craig. Right on the big bed. He had a sleep in.

Because he had a sick tummy last night. But now he is all better again. He told me. 

Maybe he ate a stick. I get sick tummies when I eat sticks. Oh well.

Yesterday at dinner time Mister Tobin took a kabillion pictures of Niamh. 

Right in the middle of our street. In front of the park. And she was dancing. Ha.

At lunchtime a man brought us a very big bag of Mister Kettleman’s delicious bagels today. 


Because we did not have even one bagel in our house. Oh dear. 

We have beautiful red flowers in our front yard.

The nasty squirrels did not eat them.

Because whenever I saw them I barked them all away. Ha. Good for me. 

The giant fish are back in the other pond. We heard their splashing. They are silly fish. It is known.

After lunchtime Zita went to professor Jill’s to get some big pieces of wood.

And when we came in I had to remind him that we had not had our together toasts. Oh dear me.

So then we had a very late toast with jam. 



But only one. Because Zita is very busy in the kitchen. So there was not enough room for all of us. 

Maybe we will have delicious scones for our lunchtime. Maybe.

Last night one of the little noisy aeroplanes that flew right over my house crashed. In a far away place. 



And a nice lady soldier died. Oh dear. That is not all right.

And she went to our nice university too. And to Niamh’s other university too. Oh dear.

I do not know if she had a nice dog. Oh dear me. 

I will talk to Mister Saint Newton tonight. When everyone is fast asleep. 

So she will have a very nice dog to help her find everything. In way way way far away Heaven. Good for us. 

The very nice present man brought our present box right to my own side yard this morning. That was very nice.

It was full of coffees for the fast as can be coffee machine. 

Craig and I sat in my side yard in the beautiful sunshine this afternoon. For a long time.

And we had Scotsman’s scones with Zita. That was a good idea.

Then Miss Bruna brought Craig Lee’s old very little music machine. That was very nice. 

And it not even black. It is blue. Ha. 

In the afternoon Craig and Zita went for their adventure walk and I had a nice nap in my side yard. 

Emmet and Niamh are very busy doing their work for their own universities. 

Even though the universities are all closed up. Oh dear. 

And Emmet cannot get some of his important books. 

Because the library at his just in Cork university is closed too. 

And the books are so very old nobody else has them. Oh dear. What to do?

Zita and I went for a nice long slow walk before dinner walk. In the beautiful all the time sunshine.

Niamh and Lee and Cara and Miss Lily and two other friends were on my own corner. Talking. Ha.


I saw them. They were not very close sitting. Because of the rules. 

We will have an altogether dinner tonight. 

We are going to have used hamburgers and Mister Nicastro’s delicious sausages. Ha.

That will be a good dinner. 

Then we will watch the nice detective again. Ha. That is good. 




Sunday 17 May 2020

Day Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Four

It was a very sunshiney morning so Zita and I had a very nice walk.

When we came home everybody was still fast asleep.

Because it is sleep in Sunday.

But Zita and I were very busy.

She was making brand new do not get anybody sick masks for us.

With her sew everything machine. Right on the dining room table.



So I was very busy minding her. Ha. Good for me.

When Craig was fast awake we went outside to play catch the ball.

Because it was a beautiful sunshiney day today. All day. Ha.

So we played for a little long time. Good for us.

All our beautiful trees are getting all full of  green leafs. That is good.

We did not go to fast asleep until late last night.

Because after our dinner everybody was talking all about movies for a very long time.

Movies are Emmet and Niamh’s favourite. Ha. 

Niamh even goes to classes all about movies at her nice university. That is good.

After lunchtime Zita and Craig went for a long adventure walk. 

And then they stopped at Lee and Cara’s house. To talk to everybody. 

Because everybody was far apart there. Niamh was there too. Ha.

I had a lovely long nap on the big flat warm stones in my side yard. Ha. That was a good nap.

But when Craig and Zita got home I was too hot. 

So I had to have a nice long drink of water. Ha

Maybe our summertime time came last night when we were all fast asleep. Maybe.

Then Zita and I made our side yard as beautiful as could be.



Because maybe it is summertime. Maybe. 

Then Zita and I went for our before dinner walk.

We did not go for a very long walk tonight.



Because I had a bit sore foot. Oh well. Too bad for me. 

Sometimes when you get a bit old like Craig and me you get a bit too sore to go for long walks. 

So then you can just have nice rests and tasty treats instead. 

And maybe look out your watching window. And have extra toasts. 

Or read your brand new book. And have more too much coffees.

That is the rule. It is a good rule.

We had a very tasty cooked outside hamburgers for dinner tonight. But not all of us.

Because Niamh was having a sit far away dinner with Cara and Lee. 

But together dinners are the very best dinners. They are my favourite. 

Because everybody is here for me to mind and everybody laughs all the time. 

These are very good dinners. Maybe we will have one tomorrow.

We will watch the nice detective and his friends tonight.

Tomorrow is a holiday. For everybody. Not just us.
