Giselle, Charlotte\u2019s maid, has taken excellent care of the rest of us these past few weeks, while she and Dad have been away on holiday. Giselle has a fairly relaxed style of housekeeping however, similar to\u00a0Hatta, the Hatter\u2019s<\/a>,\u00a0where it\u2019s always time for tea and snacks, and, once dishes are soiled, one simply moves on to the next clean place setting.<\/p>\n

This approach works best I\u2019ve found, when there aren\u2019t any other human witnesses, and when one doesn\u2019t mind busloads of new mice showing up to join the party. And it works great as long as the clean dishes (and after that, the paper plate supply) holds out.<\/p>\n

Which is to say, with Dad, Charlotte and Daisy all coming home from their trip today<\/em>, I think I\u2019d better go upstairs and lend a hand. It sounds like Blackie\u2019s already started vacuuming, and I don\u2019t think Max and Flora are going to be able to lick all those dishes clean by themselves!<\/p>\n

Have a great Tuesday Everyone, and good luck with whatever special projects you are working on today, too.<\/p>\n

And Dad, if you\u2019re reading this, don\u2019t worry\u2014I\u2019m just kidding about the house (sort of). See you later at the airport, and meanwhile, have a good flight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
