Let it snow!
It's just started to snow here in London- coming down pretty heavily.
When Dave saw it he called me to have a look and the cats followed me into the kitchen..... They're now sitting on the kitchen windowsill trying to work out how to catch snowflakes- every minute or so a paw snakes out to try and grab one but since there's a rather thick pane of glass between the snow and the cats- I wonder how long it will take them to work out they can't catch them and get bored of the game Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

They are certainly fascinated by it! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

I have, however, made sure The Laydeez have plenty of deep straw in the henhouse to snuggle down into, and that the birdfeeders are topped up with plenty of seeds & nuts, plus made sure they've had the chance to feast today, to keep their body temps up overnight, should we get the truly bad weather arrive. We're out of heating oil, so there's a fire in the grate and the felines are warming suitably. I do, however, have to keep an eye on Francis as he sits so close to the fire he starts to smoulder...silly cat! Dinner this evening is a real old-fashioned winter warmer. I've got sausages sizzling, and I've got bubble & squeak in the pan, using up the left over veg from yesterday's roast. Plus lots of the lovely gravy from the roast too... So humans, felines & hens of Chez Wafflycat should be fine tonight. |

He was about 4 months old, and I was reading, laying on the bed. He was on the front bedroom "window seat" and I heard a pat, patpatpat, pat, patpatpat... I looked and he was up reaching as high as he could, smacking at snowflakes as they drifted past him, outside the glass. I chuckled and went back to my book. He quickly realized that he couldn't catch them, and hasn't really bothered with them in the 5 years since. -- ^..^ This is Kitty.

Of course as they took so long to order the sock things we have a sneaking feeling they will now be too small.....the district nurses don't like to lose their "customers"! His toenail cutting session is a week tomorrow..there's still a few problems like he can't use public transport tried once and fell off the bus so he's lost confidence and I want to ask his physio team to come back and work on this, they were supposed to do so before they discharged him anyway! I am still at the same job but already have an interview lined up for a postion I fancy the look off- in the same post I got a letter saying I hadn't met the person specification for another job, odd as it was identical to my current job! But this other job whilst a little harder to get to would be a promotion. The cats (I know you only asked about us to ask after them) are fine. Sarrasine got so miserable when she couldn't catch a snowflake that I had to get the feather onna stick out and she had more success capturing that and is now asleep on top of the wardrobe whilst Redunzel is snoring gently from under the radiator in the living room Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

... ... what is bubble and squeak? Fried-up leftovers - usually, mashed potato with bacon, cabbage and onions. So-called because of the sounds made when cooking it - or, perhaps, because of the gas and noises produced a few hours after eating it :-) -- MatSav |

When Dave saw it he called me to have a look and the cats followed me into the kitchen..... Our lot love playing in it - there were little pawprints all around the house yesterday morning. But they don't like being out in blizzards. Last night they couldn't quite tell what the weather was going to be like, and I saw three of them sitting beside the catflap, each of them waiting for one of the others to go first. Once one of them had gone out and didn't come straight back, the others went out too. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
