My Blog Now – Orion
Finally Mummy is asleep & I get to show my genius. With my best pal Cushion guarding her; he is sitting firmly on her hair & at that angle it’ll take her ages to get up & interfere with my work, if she wakes up at all. Now lucky you I am in charge of the…

The Other Woman
Why have you deserted me, why run to Her? Our life may be humdrum, but what’s the great lure? Cherise was so loving, never far did she stray, Now at the Granny flat she tries to stay! I lost all my children; one, two, three, four… For the sweets or the freedom or perhaps something…

Then we toast with non alcoholic sparkling cuvee (some sort of white wine) and then sparkling apple juice. We…

Christmas in 40*C – Addendum
The Original The more eagle eyed of my readers may have noticed that Cat was missing from the light hunting photos. And that Natasha’s shorts are far too short (she’s 13 and she could pass for 18, life is not fair for parents of girls). Cat had started house sitting for 3 days, 2 nights…

Orion’s Christmas Gift
Finally proof Orion is the sweetest, most thoughtful cat in the world. About 4:00 this afternoon we heard a mighty crash in the front room. Bang, boom, scratching sounds and sounds like glass breaking. Orion came tearing out of the room straight past me as I rushed in. Our lovely tree! Broken, ornaments possibly shattered,…

Dogs Can Dance – for Christmas
No dogs were forced to take part in this entertainment. “Wag Yogurt Drops” were used as payment. We do this every night (starting at 1 and building up twice) for 24 days and Charlie runs to join in. Any struggle you see is Charlie trying to snatch treats. Treats are the only thing more important…

How Many Cats?
As I was sitting in my own lounge room; carefully selecting wrapping paper and gift tags (homemade of course) to suit each individual, using my best Sheaffer pens to write their names in calligraphy; my husband just started an argument out of the blue. He said I was crazy! I asked him, politely, what made…
