Teaching them a bit of independence

The thingumybob that the family use to play films on the television from shiny silver discs has been playing up for ages.

This leads to a fair amount of muttering and grumbling and jumping up and down from their chairs and pushing and tugging at leads and sometimes propping up the box thing at funny angles.

This puts me out a bit, to be honest, as of an evening my place is centre stage in the living room and they have to keep invading my personal space to try and sort it out.

Anyway, the Lady Of The House bought a new one the other day and the Man Of The House had to get it out of the box last night and plug it in instead of the old one.

This also led to a fair amount of muttering and grumbling, pushing and tugging and jumping about. I thought about offering to help - but I think they have to learn how to do these things on their own. Sometimes you just have to give them a bit of independence and let them make their own mistakes.
Come on, MOTH, it's easy enough

Should I offer to help?

Where's he gone now?

Santa's little helper


Watching "Elf" last night certainly got me in the Christmas spirit.

If Santa needs an extra reindeer on Christmas Eve I might be available.

Lazy Sunday

Me and my Sunday paper
So this morning the Man Of The House was cooking a lovely roast chicken dinner (don't worry I did get some later); the Girl Of The House (home from University for the weekend) was helping the Lady Of The House set up her new netbook and the Boy Of The House was playing some games on the computer.

But as you can see, I decided to curl up with the Sunday papers. Actually, it's MY version of the papers, a squeaky plastic newspaper.

The family were thinking of throwing it out because I haven't played with it since I arrived here in August (it was one of my toys that I brought with me). But I soon put them right on that one. It's mine and I want it, I said. So it's not going anywhere now.

Hope you've had a lovely sleepy, snoozy Sunday. I'm off to watch "Elf" on the television with my family now and get even more in the Christmas mood.
