Not at all quiet this week!

It’s been very noisy every evening this week. Bangs and whizzes and pop-pop-pop noises. One time we saw some stars falling from the sky but Mummy closed the curtains and we didn’t see any more. Apparent it’s Diwali, Halloween and Guy Fawkes night, and maybe by tonight it will all have gone away. Until New Year.

Mummy cut back some of the purple flower bush that all the butterflies loved. There aren’t any flowers on it, so the butterflies won’t miss it, and she’ll be able to see the birds better. She’s piled the trimmings near our waste disposal box, so if any insects have taken shelter, they’ll be safe. There was a big wasp flying around our room the other night. Mummy caught it in a glass jar and put it outside.

We haven’t any news about new pigs, but Mummy says she’ll try phoning Auntie Anna now that the firework season is gone, and when the roofing noises have finished. They only started an hour ago. Someone is putting ventilation in the roof. It’s all very complicated, but it’s to solve the damp smell in the front room in the summer. Mummy warned us that when he gets around to our part of the house she’ll take us through to the front room in our carry box. That’ll help the noise stay quieter. But not quiet.

It’s probably a good thing the new boys weren’t here for fireworks and roof noises. But we need them here by Christmas, or we won’t be able to have a Christmas party. I enjoyed Christmas last year. I hope we get nice boxes again this year.
