Erm, where's my desk?

Tuesday, 10.30pm

Thought for the Day - The drill bit you require will always be the only one missing from the box

Pug Status - Sun worshipping in the garden; on her back, legs in the air, fast asleep

As this diary entry hits the airwaves I will be travelling to the first day of a new job, and I have that real 'start of term' nervousness. Except that I won't be saving wallpaper to cover my exercise books with, I don't require a French-English English-French dictionary and I definitely won't be bullied for my dinner money. Although perhaps writing my name in the collar of all my shirts was taking things a bit too far.

I am not sure how Obi Pug Kenobi will cope with me not being around during the day. She is so used to me turning her cushions regularly and providing post-snack cuddles and mid-afternoon walks. I can't wait to get home from a hard day's work tomorrow night to be greeted by Princess Pug, bounding into my arms and smothering me with kisses. In reality however it's more likely to be a quick look up from wherever she happens to be snoring, a look as if to say "Oh, you're back are you" and then a quick shuffle round to find a nice comfy spot for her pre-dinner nap.

Unconditional love from a pug only tends to kick in when you're lowering a full dinner bowl to the floor....
