I’ve been back from Glasgow for ages. Sorry. I was hiding away, catching up on stuff like sleep (not a lot of that in Glasgow) and paperwork (a lot of that here). I can think of many excuses why I haven’t blogged since my return but the main one was I’ve been [...]

Hunters in the Grass

Thursday 21 May 2009
The grass at the front of the house hasn’t been cut this year as Gordon was planning to dig it up and redo the pipework underneath. Not surprisingly, it’s a work in progress which could continue for an indeterminate length of time. I’m used to things taking this long. As Gordon says, [...]

Thursday 12 February 2009
I was glancing out the window this afternoon and spotted the perfect photo opportunity. This crow is a regular visitor and quite happy to taunt the cats rather than fly away. It usually appears when I throw meat scraps on to the lawn and I’ve even seen it catch a cat by [...]

Wednesday 10 December 2008
Yesterday Gordon and I went Christmas shopping together in Taunton. It’s something we do just the once; Gordon buys presents for me and I end up desperately looking for something to give everyone else. I’m not sure how that came about, but it’s fairly clear that he gets the better part of [...]
Retail Therapy?

Monday 8 December 2008
Terri and I went shopping in Bridgwater today, mainly to spend the Morrison’s stamps mum’s been accumulating this year as a present for us both. It’s odd to be given vouchers for a grocery-type shop, but we bought drinks for Christmas and various ‘luxuries’ that we wouldn’t normally get.
We then raided Asda [...]

This is Minx, scrounging at the table. Gordon feeds her scraps while he eats his lunch so consequently, come lunchtime, she’s sat at the table ready and waiting. She’s a lovely cat but she will just as happily bite fingers as food! She’s very sociable with humans and hates cats, which is [...]

Saturday 25 October 2008
Sorry I disappeared for a while there. Things seem to have overtaken me and I’ve spent the week doing things away from the house and therefore the computer.
I don’t think I mentioned that on Monday I went to Exeter University to have a DXA and an MRI scan, not because there’s anything [...]
Best Seat In The House

This is Scamp, one of the pair of cats we rehomed in July. As you can see, she’s settled in well and now monopolises the best places in the house! She has her belly and paws against the base of the Aga where she’s guaranteed to keep warm. Another favourite place of [...]

Barley the semi-feral cat
I haven’t been able to connect properly for any length of time this weekend because of my dodgy internet which has only really been active for minutes at a time. Now, late on Sunday evening, everyone who’s been ’stealing’ my signal has probably gone to bed (which is what [...]
Can you eat these?

Monday 29 September 2008
Does anyone know if these are edible? They don’t smell very nice but the hedgerows are scarlet with the berries and it seems a shame you can’t do anything with them. The flesh is buttery but I haven’t tasted it just in case I poison myself. One of these days, I’ll get [...]
