the weather

Today is the first day since coming down with the lurgy that I noticed what's going on outside. I haven't been outside for 5 days, and have been too out of it to even notice what kind of day it is. But today, I noticed. The sun was shining, the sky was a clear blue. So I put my winter coat on and ventured into the garden.

I was surprised to find that it was quite warm in the sunshine. It was quiet, there was practically no breeze, and I found a lone dandelion growing in the garden.

Jakey & Lottie soon joined me. Here's a little video I couldn't resist taking when Lottie started rolling around on her back in a very unladylike fashion.



As you can see, I have yet to master the art of video making. At the end, you can't see very well in the video what Jakey is staring at, but here is a closeup.

Jakey missed me...

Claudia sneaks up on Jakey

This is little Claudia, the kitten we are looking after for a friend, sneaking up on Jakey. She can't seem to decide whether she likes him or not, but she's stopped hissing at him now, so maybe they will actually play together before the week is out. Lottie unfortunately, is very unhappy about our little visitor and is staying well away.

coool cats

the joy of cats

Lottie likes feet. Stand still for a second and she's there.
Lottie the foot hugger.

She also likes to nap on my lap when I'm trying to type.


Jakey, the sleep artist.

He likes cushions

Shameless puss.

Jakey, the morning after the bender..."Some days just disappear in a haze of whiskey and smoke man...now where's my breakfast?"

the cats went out today!
