Continue reading1. As long as I breath from the diaphram, and blow the notes confidently, my piccolo playing seems to be coming on quite well, and not too screaching and ear-piercing. That said it’s still loud and high, and really I…
Continue reading1. You can’t call it training, but it is exercise. Tonight, I swam 48 lengths in 50 minutes. Not bad, but if I am to ‘beat the hour’ with my 60 lengths, I need to do better. If you haven’t…
Continue readingArthur is currently sliding about on the lounge floor under the doormat, and Bella is really not sure how to handle it! Oh wait, Arthur is now going under the rug… Current Mood: 😉silly
Continue readingIt seems that Bella quite like my flute playing. She will go and cozy up in her bed in the corner of the turn of the stairs, and lie there basking as I play, heard and toes hanging out all…
Continue readingThis morning, as I was having my breakfast, and after Bella and Arthur finished there’s, Arthur mosied up to the cat flap and pushed his way through. Bella followed. When I got home this evening, Bella was waiting for me…
Continue readingWhy is that cat flaps have to make a disconcerting flap-flapping noise upon opening and closing. It seems to frighten the life out of young Bella and Arthur. Segregating one of them off temporarily into the cat basket I showed…
Continue readingThe subject line to this post just about sums up my weekend. But it’s been better than that. I’ve not begun re-reading Blood & Fire yet, but I have made a start on a first ‘prologue’ chapter to Mr Tumnal….
Continue readingBella destroyed her collar yesterday and left it for me on the kitchen floor – c/o the pet aisle of the supermarket, she now has this funky silver sparkling number which apparently also keeps any fleas at bay… Sparkly Bella…
Continue readingDespite my best efforts, and getting up at a reasonable time both on Saturday and Sunday, it seems thawt I am not going to finish The Novel this weekend. Thawt’s not to say that I am not close. Very close….

Continue readingBella and Arthur went out on their own for a bit this afternoon. Had a good rummage round the back of the shed (hope they didn’t disturb Edwig The Hedgehog), nipped over the fence; had a good play in next…

Continue readingWhilst Bella is more of the active, out-doorsy type, wanting to get stuck into some serious tree climbing, Arthur, it seems is more into literary contemplation. He’s also a bit of a geek. He likes the laptop, and he likes…
Continue readingNot content with scaling the height of the floor to ceiling curtains, and goding Arthur into following, Bella, today discovered the joys of tree climbing. How long will it be until Arthur follows suit…? Not long, me thinks… Tree climbing…
Continue readingIt has been hot this weekend. Too hot at times. Although here I find my internal thermometer at odds with my brain, because at 30 degrees it is not as hot as it was in Italy, but for some reason…
Continue readingWatching Arthur and Bella at play is one of the best ever entertainments – the ninja moves that they employ to catch their sibling unawares in particular. Vertical take-off’s; they somehow manage to shoot out, feet splayed and land some…
