Big Yellow Digger Driver's Dressing Down for The Tennis Court Fiasco

I knew it would happen! Yesterday The Owner was busy working and so I took myself for a patrol in the morning and felt I ought to include the manor gardens in my route as I haven't seen what Big Yellow Digger Driver did to the tennis courts in the end. It is also about the right time to go and see if Adge the Badge has come out of hibernation yet.

The Owner reckons I sleep too much but I do at least wake up every day whether it is summer or winter. I might try hibernating sometime and see how I get on. Anyway, the tennis courts, I was just at the point if breaking cover through the herbaceous borders which were looking good I thought (Old Reg the Paper Boy has done a good job with them this year), when I stopped dead in my tracks. There was Manor Hoomun and Big Yellow Digger Driver stood by what remained of the tennis courts and there was a lot of pointing going on and hands on hips and stuff like that and Big Yellow Digger Driver kept pushing his hat further and further back on his head as the pointing got wilder and then Big Yellow Digger Driver got out his book and pencil and began scribbling as Manor Hoomun was making his point. I thought I would make myself scarce as I hadn't got a book and pencil to scribble in if the going got too rough, but too late, I had been spotted! "Tactics here Jack!" I thought. Always side with the more beneficial person I thought so I risked the not getting a crust from Big Yellow Digger Driver's sandwiches and went and sat very firmly by the side of Manor Hoomun. It worked because Manor Hoomun said I had better come in and have breakfast so I did and he was always the more generous between Manor Hoomun and Lady Manor Hoomun. I decided to abandon the patrol at that point as the belly was a little uncomfortable after two breakfasts. This morning Big Yellow Digger Driver has clearly been demoted! I knew he was on to a telling off by Manor Hoomun! I saw him taking a, frankly, ridiculously small little digger round to The Manor. I think I will keep well out of the way today and take a look at what he has done this evening when all is quiet again.
