A Queen…but not for just a day…forever !!!


Good evening, my fellow subjects. It’s been a wild wild week as far as the weather goes. There was so much rain on my estate. We have a small stream at the back of my yard, which after a few hours of heavy rain looked like a river ! Rico was very scared that sea monsters might come out of the stream, but I reassured him that there were none. I am so brave…one of us has to be.

I am getting a bit worried for daddy. You see I have a lovely soft fur coat that is long and shinny. Daddy has old hair that was short and very grey, but now it’s longer but still grey and messy like Rico. He (Rico) maybe cute, but hasn’t got my beautiful smooth shinny fur.

The past few nights have been wonderful to be inside. Daddy has put on a fire so that I would not catch a cold and be warm. He is so thoughtful. The fire was made for me and the others can share in it. Winter has come and mummy prepares for Rico and I our own pussy cat hot water bottles. Even though they are lovely and warm, I still let Rico cuddle up to me. I am so unselfish.

Today mummy and daddy went to all Italian. They went to an Italian restaurant in Grey Lynn to cerebrate Italian Republic Day which was on the 2nd of June. They ate, drank, and mummy talked in Italian. I understand that daddy smiled a lot and nodded, but understood nothing…oh dear…sounds like home :-) Rico is a bit like that too. Lights on, but nobody at home.

This evening a friend of daddy’s from the music trade popped in for a visit. Daddy first met him over thirty years ago. Daddy talked and talked and talked about old days and a little about the present….oh boy, he can talk !!! Rico and I just listened and got really board. Who cares about the past ? Life started for daddy when I came on the scene. Too much information ;-)

Tomorrow is a big day in New Zealand. We cerebrate the Queen’s and my (unauthorized) Birthday. It is a time of reflection and gratitude for all that we have. Mummy and daddy and Rico have me. I have me too. The world is a better place with me in it. I am Zara…long live Queen Zara !
