NO! it’s not what you’re thinking. Our telly is trying to decide when it’s going to stop working and in what fashion. It was simply a stroke of luck that my parents were thinking of getting a new telly so they have offered us their old one. When I say old it could be what – 2 possibly 3 years old – max. The only thing is it is somewhat bigger then the one we have now. It’s a 40 something inch screen so that means a furniture rearrangement and that includes the cats chair. It will be good to have it in and installed ’cause himself is going into hospital next week to get his appendix out and at least now he can lie out on the sofa and have the really big telly to watch.
At the moment I have most of the windows and doors open – when we came home yesterday a tom cat had sprayed our front door and as there is a gap at the bottom the stench made it into the house. Ok we have 4 cats there is bound to some sort of a smell of cat every once in a while but this was revolting! If I could catch the cat I’d be tempted to take it to the vets and get a little jobbie done on it.
Anyway I’m sorting through some books and paperwork that’s lying around the living room and then I’ve to start on the dinner.
I thought that Sundays were supposed to be a day of rest? A days work (well part of anyway) and then it’s work tomorrow! Ah well such is life.

The Sisters
In September 2006 coming home from Weight Watchers we found 4 kittens playing with the traffic. We kept two of them and my parents rehoused the other two. Here are the little ladies that we held onto:
Daisy 23/08/2006
And here is her sister despite the name (she was sexed at an early age)
Oscar 23/08/2006
Tom
Next came Tom in a matter of weeks – I think word went around the cat community that we were taking in strays. Affectionately called Tomtoms

Pip
I’ve just realised that I’ve never introduced the four cats that have taken a shine to living with us.
There will be pictures of the others to follow but to begin with this is:

Decembery Goodness
It’s the first of December – like you needed me to tell you that!
I was away for the weekend with my mother and her guild of the ICA and I had great fun. We were doing a weekend course in hand stitched Christmas decorations. We headed off on Friday and came back yesterday after dinner. I have to say it was great and you came home with something to show for it!
This is the wall hanging that we did, it is also a introduction to patchwork.
I am having visions of this house getting overrun with fabric as I have taken a shine to this.
While we were away we went for a walk on Saturday morning after breakfast and before class and I happened to have my camera with me. So as we were coming up to the top of the road this is what appeared before us.
It really was lovely. However this morning December seems to have kicked in with the weather. As I type I have the heating on and the kettle is boiling for a cuppa ’cause when I got up this morning and looked out the window this is what greeted me:
If I’m being honest this is the kind of weather that I’d like to see on Christmas day – wake up and it’s all white and then forget about it as it gradually goes – yes I’d love snow but that really can cause havoc so for safety I’ll sacrifice my dreams for a heavy frost 😛
Mind you even with that frost it can be dangerous – I’m expecting my mother over to me this morning as we are going to get an artificial Christmas tree for me (I think with cats in the house it’s the wisest choice) – anyway mam is coming over but I’ve a feeling that the roads will be slippery so I hope she will be alright getting over.
While I’m waiting for her to arrive I think I’ll hunt out my advent calanders and start opening windows!
Mornings – variations on a theme
This morning when I got up and came out of the bedroom Tom (cat) came wandering down the hall and towards the door. Naturally as the good obedient servant that I am I followed to open the door. Soon all 4 cats were sitting in the hallway looking out the door with what can only be described as “morning squinty make the light go away” eyes, then they all decided that they didn’t really want to go out as it was too bright and they still hadn’t had breakfast. However this post was interrupted by three of them making a bid for freedom now that they are full. I reckon the other one is somewhere eating leftovers.
