Nailed

I don't much care for this.

She keeps our nails short and whenever I see that contraption that she uses I try to head for the hills. In the end she always wins out.

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here in England. I might try to take a quick walk in the garden today but mostly I'll find all the sun spots in the house and throw myself on them.

Thuffering Thuckatash it's Thursday

Why must she use the computer when we clearly want a cuddle?! Can't she see that she should put that thing down and keep us comfortable? Did she do that? NO! She continued with her typing and reading. It's just wrong. Humans can be so selfish.

Keeping Watch

See my shadow in the red curtain? Every morning I like to go upstairs to their bedroom and sit on the table and keep watch over the back garden. Pumpy sleeps on the bed while I supervise the garden.

Can you see me in the window? This is what I look like from the outside.



A lot of my friends from America have been telling me that it snowed over Easter and that they can't put flowers in their garden. I feel oh so guilty telling you that it was sunny and warm over here in England. Yesterday while those two were having their lunch on the patio, I gingerly walked outside and I crept all the way to the back fence, smelled the ground, and then when I realized what I had done I ran like a she-devil back to the safety of the house.

Easter Sunday 2007

For those of you who celebrate this holiday, may I say HAPPY EASTER. Below is a photo taken of me last summer when the flowers were in full bloom. I used to like to creep out onto the patio and sit amongst the flowers and sometimes chew on the leaves or catch a bug.



Below is a picture, taken yesterday, of the flowers that will be planted -- em -- today. Aren't they pretty? And notice one thing on that table... a BIRD FEEDER!! This will be hung up high on our fence and then the birdies will come and eat from it and I can watch and study them.

A smattering of things...

Happy Friday. It's sunny and warm here in southern England. It makes the woman happy and energetic.


These pots sit out on our patio waiting to be filled with flowers.

Pumpy and I were alseep in the bedroom when we were rudely awakened to have our picture taken.



I hope you're all having a peaceful day.

Tea and Biscuits...

On my previous post, many of my American friends referred to my treadling as "making biscuits."

Well -- do you know that biscuits in America are different than biscuits over here in England? In England, a biscuit is a hard "cookie" -- not too sweet -- but it goes JUST RIGHT with a cup of tea. Or so I've been told.

If you would like to learn more about tea and biscuits, you can go to this place, and you can learn everything about tea and biscuits AND the wonderful practice of a Sit Down.

And for our British friends... what's YOUR favorite tea and biscuit combo?

Treadling for Milk

I know all of you other kitties may have had the same problem. No matter how hard and fast you treadle on the beans, you never get any milk.

I try it every once in awhile and I expect her to get the message but nothing is forthcoming. She doesn't even go out to the kitchen to get my stinky goodness.
