Success is getting what you want; happiness is liking what you get

Somebody stole the bed, Mum!

Our cat Muffy is not happy.  Strange things have been happening in the house over the last month or two, and today, would you believe it, but somebody stole our bed!  Muffy likes to sleep in late in the morning, have a leisurely afternoon nap, and then generally walks up the hallway once she has eaten her dinner for an early evening snooze.  None of that happened today, as someone came into the house and stole the bed. It used to be right here, in the bedroom, and now it has gone.

Muffy didn’t know, since she is only a cat, but we had arranged for Central Markets to come and take the bedroom furniture away.  The lady of the house had decided that we deserve a brand new bedroom suite to go with our new house – no argument!  The blokes from the market arrived in their big truck, cast their beady eyes over our furniture, and offered us a measly sum to take it off our hands.  As we had originally planned to donate the furniture to the local Op Shop, we accepted their offer.  After all, some money is better than no money at all.

While Robin was watching the furniture being loaded, he was astounded to see Muffy on the back of the truck too.  Seems that she really didn’t want that bed to go away.  Bringing her back into the house, he popped her inside one of our big cartons which was waiting to be filled.  There – let’s see you get out of that, Muffy!

We will be sleeping in the caravan (parked in front of the house) for the next week till we finally move out.  So Muffy will have a comfy bed to sleep in, after all.
