The last leg of our 1,439 mile road trop to Scotland and back was uneventful. We arrived home at lunchtime-ish to be greeted by four loving cats. Sadly, only four though, with still no sign of little Miss Bella. We…
Continue readingToday has been a busy one, of turning around the washing and packing from wedding mode to honeymoon mode (of which we leave tomorrow…). Because we really don’t have enough to do anyway, Bella decided that it was best to…
Continue readingSaying goodbye is never easy, and it was very difficult tonight. I had thought that I would have the evening to myself today – as Emma was going to go to try out a meditation class in Oxford with one…
Continue reading~ Woke up this morning in the most alarming of ways. My dream was brought to a (literally) crashing end with the thought that someone had thrown a brick through the window. What’s more, with our neighbours off somewhere early,…
Continue readingNo, this isn’t a Battlestar Galactica related post about the different cylon models… There’s a stray cat at the vets at the moment. She’s mostly black with half a white face and funny walk. She’s undeniably cute and has an…
Continue reading~ As it turned out William stayed away overnight with Mr Pink in Solihull yesterday, having a pretty major surgery done on his leg. So this morning was down to dashing out to Tesco to do the week’s shop and…
Continue readingThis morning, Ronnie came up for a cuddle and we noticed that he was a bit wet; a bit weird but we didnât think much of it until a bit later when upon drawing the curtains we realised that the…
Continue readingAfter the hard work of unpacking box after box after box over the last few days, we had finally reached the point of having dining room, a dining table, and space to sit around it. That, at least, was before….
Continue readingOkay, the sad tale of William Jefferys gets worse and worse. It seems that his injuries are most likely to have been caused by (illegal since 1953) gin traps. One of Emmaâs colleagues who used to live in Caversfield and…
Continue readingToday has been awful. Em has been understandably bereft about the loss of her William, and I have realised just how much I do now love her cats just as much as my own. Iâve also come down with the…
Continue readingAt least it has been sunny today, and weâve been able to get much of the washing through, even if the house and garden does resemble a Chinese laundry. Weâve registered William as lost and stuck posters up around the…
Continue readingOur relaxing end to our holiday in Snowdonia, during which time we built over 17 metres of drystone wall, came to an abrupt end this afternoon. We had pottered down out of the mountains, stopping for lunch, now traditionally, at…
Continue readingIt appears that I left the cat flap unlocked last night. Are Bella and Arthur a bit stupbid (sic.) or what? To my knowledge they have spent all of last night tucked up in the house as if the outside…
Continue readingToday has been a good and productive day. Although we didn’t get up very early (the second time) that was because we’d already been up for 3 hours and had a good walk, so it didn’t feel too wasteful having…
Continue readingWhen you want to be together for longer, but can’t because no one is wanting to buy your house, and both parties have the responsibilities of their own cats, something has to give. It sounded like a crazy idea when…
Continue readingThere’s a whisper down the line at 11.39 when the night mail’s ready to departSaying Skimble, where is Skimble, has he gone to hunt the thimble? We must find him or the train can’t start Cats, was, as always fantastic…
Continue reading1. Firstly, happy birthday to my brother. 2. It’s a gorgeous, sunny day today; bright and warm and nice. Just the kind of day to have a nice bicycle ride into work. Well, that was the plan. I was near…
Continue reading1. Arthur was still not quite right this morning. Not quite his usual carefree self, and uninterested in food. I booked an appointment with the vet. He does have a bit of a temperature, but otherwise seems to be okay….
Continue reading1. Bella went out on Monday evening, not that there is anything surprising about that. What was surprising is that she didn’t come back; not on Monday night, not on Tuesday morning for breakfast, and not on Tuesday night for…
Continue readingOr rather, attempted murder and a disappearance. I was rudely woken fully awake this morning, by the most dreadful squeaking/chirping noise as I was taking a shower. Bella had brought a friend into the house to play and I don’t…
