Klepto Monty
posted by Chris at 19:02
It seems amazing that three weeks has gone by since last post. The "almost finished" work went on for another two weeks (that's because Dave and Mick did more than was first planned, plus Mick's mum ended up in hospital - bit touch and go that one).
Still, having Dave and Mick around for the extra two weeks did Monty's confidence a power of good (if not Kai's waist line); I defy anyone seeing him now to call him timid. I would like to say he lent a helping hound to the work, but the reality is that Monty's a kleptomaniac, and Mick had to constantly search for his tools in the garden that he'd put down next to him just a few minutes earlier.
We first noticed it with shoes, usually trainers; then it moved on to underwear and socks (worn, of course); then well worn T-shirts; effectively anything that smelt - horrible. Now it's cloths, rags, or anything that conveniently fits in a mouth. So if anything goes missing the first place to look is Monty's bed! Of course, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth .... except it did!!
