Magnus 10th February

Been REALLY busy.  We've been at Hume Castle.  Lovely views.  Met a lovely gentleman called Karl.  He knew what we were.  This is quite unusual.  People usually ask.




Popped into Abbotsford too.  Very stately.  I like this walk.  The river and the woods and the fields.  Covers all the bases.
We also went a long walk up to Dab's Heid, as the locals call it.  It's way up in the hills. Weirdly enough, we kept meeting people and dogs.  There we are, in the middle of nowhere, and it's like a walk in the park.
And then, we went out in Edinburgh.  It was great.  Well, it became great.  Ewen brushed me before we left, which wasn't so great.  Well, he tried to.  People kept stopping to pat us and say how gorgeous we were.  I suppose the brushing paid off in the end.  Mirren was in her element.  I find all the hands a bit scarey but I coped better than usual.  Bit tired by all the attention.



Mirren 10th February

I have had the best time.  We've been at all these places I feel so at home at.  Hume Castle.  Abbotsford.   In both places I could over look the Borders and think it was mine.  Then Dab's Heid.  Splendid views again.  Today, Edinburgh.  Fabulous.  People loved me.  It helps being gorgeous, but being chummy and affectionate draws them in.  Gave one young chap a kiss he was so cuddly.  I do respond well to an audience.  I had to get a bit vocal at one point though because Ewen went to the loo.  It bothers me when one of them disappears from sight.  It's worst when we are not at home.  I get frightened they may leave without me.  Magnus says I'm an idiot.  They love me too much to leave me but I like to make sure.
Pam has also increased my bedding padding.  Cushioned air.  What a girl deserves, of course.
Which sort of proves Magnus's point.
