No sleep til Tuesday

It has been a rather busy few days here. I’ve got through an amazing amount of work and completed lots of tedious household tasks, but I have been strangely silent on the blog and Twitter fronts. Coincidence? Probably not.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time visiting the vet with poor old Black [...]

Simon Tofield, you are a genius.

Stuck in the Middle With Mew

After an exceptionally hectic week, I have moved down several gears.

My weekend Saturday has started with me sitting on the sofa enjoying a cup of coffee, Black Cat to the left of me, Ginger to the right, both purring, both thoroughly relaxed. Lovely.

Caturday

The weekend started promisingly enough.

Last night, before we went to sleep we discussed what to do today. No decision was reached, so many possibilities. One thing was fixed: haircut at midday. Before that: probably a lazy morning. After that: a walk (weather permitting), or maybe we could take in some of the Philadelphia [...]

Wood You Believe It?

from our Special Correspondent

After all the speculation, when some people thought it was beyond hope, finally the proof is here.

There is definitely at least one big cat in Derbyshire. And it is beyond Hope (at least it is from this direction).

Playing Cat and Mouse

I should have realised when one of the cats’ ping pong balls rolled out from under the sofa, but Black Cat appeared round the corner of the sofa a minute or so later, so I assumed it was him.

I should have realised when I heard rustling from behind the sofa, but I had [...]

Scrabble

Tomorrow is of course Saturday, so I’m hoping for a lazy morning and the chance to sleep until I wake up naturally. No alarm clock. No wake up call. And hopefully no scrabble at dawn.

I’m not talking about the rather famous board game, I suspect that the culprit is quite good at spells, [...]

Livin in ceiling not so grate akshully

I love weekends, even when I’m on holiday! Saturday mornings are for lazing around and getting up late, but once we have dragged our lazy selves out of bed, our day normally kicks off with the Oddbox (it’s from the BBC, so I can’t embed it, you’ll have to click the link).

A Very Nice Cat Indeed

I have been rather busy over the last couple of days, so not enough time to blog (although lots to blog about).

I have decided to follow the excellent example of Mr Gordon McLean and simply post a picture of a very nice cat instead. Meet Black Cat, who is gradually turning into Grey [...]

Brain drain

I’ve had a bit of a crazy day. In fact I also had a rather crazy yesterday, the cause being my school laptop, which died rather spectacularly in the middle of a lesson. The lesson went slightly to pot (that’ll teach me to rely on super-whizzy interactive whiteboard stuff), but the kids thought it [...]
