Introducing my rodential travelling companion, Claude Van Mouse….
Now he may be a tad upon the small side and able to travel in the cup holder of my carriage d’ work (that will be my van then), but he is a cute little sod and is company whilst I travel from job to job. He has been complaining though about the cold of late stating in his own high pitched voice that “it has been cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey and it is high time that I had more consideration for his working conditions!”. I am use to his whinging but I did not realise that he was so nautical in his choice of words. I reminded him that he is just a stuffed mouse after all and that the cold has no effect upon him whatsoever. His response was a quite appalling dialogue that would make a navvy blush with the only repeatable word being, and I quote “bollox”. After this I decided to make amends for my lack of employee care and have provided him with appropriate PPE….
He is still not happy though complaining that “he cannot see a bloody thing”, there is just no pleasing such peasants is there…

Love him! Sounds like he keeps you on your toes!!
ReplyDeletePlease do not encourage the little rascal BB, tis bad enough having him critic my work every chance he gets….
DeleteLOL. Next thing you know, he'll be lobbying for more wages and less working hours. You could always tell him to get stuffed...
ReplyDeleteOh Debby please do not put those sort of ideas in his wee head, and the language would just become mere vulgar from him if I dared say such a thing..
ReplyDeleteI have two big teddies in my car as grandson no 2, was always worried when I was driving on my own I would get lonely, grandson is now a teenage, the bears stay in the car.
ReplyDeleteMy OH has a fabric lizard languishing on the dashboard of his van (now 'their' third shared vehicle) It belonged to one of our lads who 'lent' it to him saying it would be company when he was driving around and like Poppy Patchwork, the lads grew up and the lizard and the OH are still driving around together!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the hat for him.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, a small stuffed traveling companion beats muttering to yourself at work in a rather loud voice...
Claude could use a matching jumper.
ReplyDeleteI hope he pulls his weight, and isn't just in this for the comfortable benefits. Just mind he doesn't light a small candle to keep warm!
