My Master says that I, Frimousse, and my friend RouXy make him feel down. Of course RouXy tries to run down towards the road once or twice a day but he mainly spends his day sleeping. And my Master thinks that I am not as lively as I used to be, that I am not as quick as before when I climb in my lime-tree. Well, he thinks we’re getting old.

In addition to that, current events, though my Master tries not to watch television nor listen to the radio but read articles written by people that have something relevant to write, don’t help him to be in high spirits.

Sunshine this morning. The garden wants rain. My Mistress has a possibility to go running early in the afternoon. We hope the rain will come before she goes! After she’s gone, no problem. She’d get wet, that’s all!
