Christmas catkins

Cats hate a camera. Especially when they know it will eradicate their features

Brownie says, do not wear loud clothing

Spent a very nice Christmas morning with the cats. Only got cuffed once and that was by a nervous cat called Brownie. She is a real sweetie but couldn't help getting scared at the sound my waterproofs make. Wearing head-to-toe waterproofs is very noisy, but it remains essential due to the fact that I spend most of my time on my hands and knees cleaning up cat turds!

I also fell in love with a little cutie who snuggled up on my lap for ages. She's tiny but with big eyes and a big nose. If Miss Marple didn't hate cats, I'd have brought the little urchin home with me.

The annual Secret Santa at Roxburgh Road threw up yet another impressive batch of finely crafted gifts.

A Jay and the cheese

I've been very slack at doing this blog. I will try and put some good pictures of my antics up soon. But for now I will just say that the cheddar cheese I put in the garden was a huge hit. This time Miss Marple didn't sneakily eat it and then be immediately sick on the stairs. No, this time a lovely big jay swooped down and tucked in. What a treat!

Good idea

Big boob blunder

Classic news story!

Good rats

Rats can clear land mines! They can clear a 200sq m minefield in two hours. It takes a human one day to do that. This makes me feel slightly less angry about Missy bringing in a rat and leaving it loose in the house. I hope it's doing something good under the floorboards and not just chewing through wires, that'll eventually spark and burn down my house.

I do love rats though.

More poodles

I've just won these beauts on Ebay. I'm so excited about this!! That's five, yes, five poodle pictures now in my possession. It'll be a total showstopper once they're up on the wall. And I now have my eye on two 3d pictures - one of an Alsation and one of a Collie. As you'd expect from a cheap 3d picture of a dog from the 70's, they are truly hideous. But they're right up my street!
