68 out of 72

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I was inspired by Sarah not laying out all her ripe tomatoes before she cooked them to photograph them to lay out mine before cooking for photographing. These are 68 which I have picked over the last week. I put all of the Romana tomatoes into some tomato sauce for dinner and still have two [...]

Not raining but.. cats and dogs

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

I went down to Mrs SJT’s daughters’ christening in Sandwich this morning and it turned out to be a bit of day of dogs and cats. I saw this dog sitting patiently outside St Peter’s Church in Sandwich and this cat was outside St Clement’s Church where the christening took place. What a lovely service [...]

“He started it!” “No, she started it!”

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

The kittens are really into everything now. I spent ages with the kittens today and it was so much fun watching them play-fight and pounce and generally get up to mischief. It is great to see the progress they are making. They are still wary about jumping from the sofa to the floor but they [...]

Mutant carrot, Magical Minerva and other assorted

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

It has been a busy old week. Auntie H had her cochlear implant op last Thursday and we’ve been looking after her since then. I’m caring for her this week as pao has a big project on at work which was booked months ago. Please spare a thought for him as it sounds like disaster [...]

A FO and cats

Friday, August 21st, 2009

We were in London overnight whilst our adopted auntie had her cochlear implant operation. All went well and Auntie H is back in our house in one piece recuperating for the next month. I did manage to finish the wedding socks from the yarn that Chris and Jeanne sent me for my birthday and get [...]

Serious Sirius

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Sirius is a very serious kitten indeed. I love it that he ambles up to me when he sees me now and wants to interact with us a lot more. I’m debating on when it is a suitable time to introduce them to a litter tray? They are just over three week’s old now so [...]

Tomatoes!

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

I’m really pleased with our first pickings of tomatoes. I turned these along with some donations from pao’s grandmother’s garden into some bolognese sauce for dinner tonight. But who am I kidding. You’re all here for kittens, aren’t you? Sirius has turned his paw to climbing the cushions in the lounge so I don’t give [...]

The healing power of kittens

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

When you’ve had a tough day and you’ve had obstacles thrown at you at every turn… kitten o’clock is a welcome hour. Especially when said kittens recognise and amble up to you. Even the shy one. Their little fat bellies were swaying slightly as they are still a bit unstable on their feet.

Wake up!

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Those kittens seem to cast a sleeping spell over us. Looks like Sirius has decided that it is time for pao to wake up. The kittens are starting to play with each other and are starting to get interested in toys. They are three weeks old today

Getting to know you

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I fell asleep round at the kittens house again tonight The purring just gets me every time. Sirius is definitely the more adventurous one and he started licking my hand tonight. So cute! Minerva is the quieter one but we did both get a cuddle each with her. It is going to be so hard [...]
