HULLO NOT-A-BEARS!

Phew! It's been bizzy rownd heer!

Ferst, the washin masheen broke down- and I got the blayme, jus fer stuffin an extra 17 pares ov pants in. (Well, pant watchin is better than daytime tv an wen it's windy owtside wat's a Bear to do?)

Next, Daddy orderd a new wun off the internet and they sed they wud tayke the old wun away an install the new wun, but ownly if we disconnektid the old wun.

SO! Friday mornin, we got up erly to do that. But we cuddent find the stopcok to tern the warter off. We had to open up the trap-dor in the street an tern it off there. Lukilly it ownly ternd off OUR warter, nowun else's. But it still ment that Mummy cuddent flush the toylet and, as I may hav menshund from time to time, she duzz poo an awful lot, so it waz a tense mornin. Daddy wassent worreed, he went off to werk, whare they hav fully funkshoning toylets. (An if Daddy is goin to yews it, that's the leest yu need it to be.)

The men arrivd by 9am an put in the new masheen an testid it. It dident werk!! So they had to tayke 2 broken wuns bak wiv them. An we havent seen them since!!! An thare is washin piling up everywhare.

I'm gettin a tad worreed that I shall soon hav no cleen pants to frolick. Agen, Daddy issent worreed, as he can ware them inside owt an get twice the distance owt ov them. Hehee.

Meenwile, Mummy's wide-awake arty crarfty phase seems to be comin to an end, an she haz re-enterd the sleep olympics. She has spent most ov this week asleep, wich is a shayme, as it has been hot an sunny at larst, an she is missin it. She haz been a bit down, an eevn sed wun day, wat is thare to get up for? But we convinst her that at the very leest, thare waz a cup ov tea, an she got up. I've bin givin her hed-hugs!

I went into town wiv her on the bus an I took her to the crarft shop whare I got sum new cullerin pens. That sort ov cheerd her up a bit. She likes gettin me things. Hoo can blayme her?
