So....

....oft they went on the boat last night to go for a meal in the Italian restaurant leaving yours truly all alone, but I had plenty of food and water so I was fine.

It was a good night so my window was left open for me and I played a lot outside until they came home and then I sat on my MH's knee and got lots of cuddles. They had had a lovely night with good food and they even brought me some of my favourite food as well so I can't complain.

My MH had taped the tennis when she went away 'cos she likes Andy Murray so they settled down to watch that when they came home which meant it was very late when they went to bed and that gave me lots of time to go back outside beofre we all settled down for the night and I cuddled up beside my MH and we snored all night.

We spent a lot of time in my garden this morning watching the cows and I saw this one getting its dinner!

I think it was a good dinner 'cos the baby cow was making a lot of noise! After that, I jumped up on my little wall and just watched for a while before I took my MH into her wee gym to do her exercises after all the food she ate last night. Hee hee :))

We are going to watch the ladies playing tennis now, and then we will watch Andy Murray tomorrow and I hope he wins.

That would make me and my MH happy.

Sunny,sunny, sunny

The sun has finally come back to me and I am loving it. It is warm and lovely and I have spent a lot of today just lying and rolling on my path watching the cows outside my gate. Beautiful!

I had another long snooze last night on my favourite chair before I headed over to my MH's knee and this is me 'resting'.

Then I went out until it was very late and I hunted for mouses and had a chat to all the baby cows and that made us all very happy.

My MH had to go out very early this morning but just for a wee while, so when she came home, she needed a wee rest and lay down on our bed. I cuddled up beside her and had a snooze too and when she wakened up she asked me if I had been sleeping, but I told her I had been watching in case anybody tried to steal her! And she believed me!! Aww, bless. Mind you, I do worry about her sometime.

My humans are going into Kirkwall tonight to the Italian restaurant, so I am not sure what I will do until they come back. My window will be left open for me, so I can get out if I want to.

I shall tell you tomorrow.

What a Day!

I have had a super time today and I have been so busy. I shall need to have a long rest tonight before I go hunting after my dinner.

I was up bright and early this morning 'cos I had had a long sleep on my MH's knee while she was watching Andy Murray win at tennis and then we watched Midsummer Murders. I am sure glad I don't live there 'cos I might get made dead and I don't think I would like that at all. I'm glad I live on my little island.

It hasn't been too bad a day and it has been warm although the mist is still here and we can't see much at all. It's just as well we all know where we are, isn't it?

My MH decided to change the sheets again and that was the signal for hide-and-seek-with-Squeak time and I dived onto the bed before you could even blink. My MH played the game with me and she put the clothes on the bed with me underneath and when my DH came in they did the 'where's Squeak?' bit, and I lay oh so still. I had warned my little wagger not to move and they nearly didn't find me, except that my little lugs were listening and they moved!! And my humans found me and we all giggled 'cos it was quite funny. I just love that game.

I checked out the geeenhouse with my DH and then went into the gym with my MH and lay on the chair while she worked hard and then we did some baking. My MH said she would make some pancakes for my DH to take into the Cat Protection shop tomorrow for their elevenses, and as usual, I got a baby pancake all to myself. I did try to explain that I am a growed-up pussy cat now, so I should get a growed-up size pancake, but I was unsuccessful. Maybe next time?

The nice farmer next door has taken all the mummy cows and their babies to another field so we didn't need to water them and it is very quite outside my door now, but maybe they will come back again soon. I hope so 'cos I like talking to them.

So it is nearly dinner time now, then snoozing time and then out to play time again. I wonder what tonight will bring me?

I hope you have a good night whatever you are doing.

Olympic Pussycat

My MH said it was a great pity that there wasn't an Olympics for pussy cats 'cos I would be bound to win. Naturally!!

It is still very misty on my little island but I can see a wee bit better and I know that the cows are still in my field, so me and my MH went down to give them some water and when she was doing that, I went away exploring and I didn't see her going back to my house. So, when she got to my gate, she called for me and that's when I did my olympic 'thing'.

I raced through the long grass as fast as my adorable little legs would take me and without breaking my stride, I jumped straight through my fence and into my garden and that made my MH laugh 'cos she said it looked as though I was diving through the fence! When I got home, my MH had to dry my little tummy 'cos it had got wet off the long grass, but I am nice and clean now.

My friend A. came in to see me this afternoon and to give my MH another lesson on her little ukulele and I just lay on the back of my couch and listened. My MH can play her guitars and she is getting quite good now on her wee ukulele.

But don't tell her I told you! I get a wee bit jealous when she takes her guitars out 'cos then there is no room on her knee for me, but then I always get one of her special cuddles when she is finished so I s'pose I shouldn't complain.

The Centre of the Universe

That's what I have been today. The centre of my MH's universe and I have loved it. I was definitely born to be the centre of attraction and I thrive on it. Mind you, our universe hasn't been very big today 'cos the mist has come back and we are in our marshmallow again. I can see wee bits of my garden, but Stromness has disappeared.

I had a good night last night 'cos I had a long snooze on one of my chairs and then my humans were watching Andre Rieu and I like him, so I sat on my MH's knee and watched it with them and there was a wee boy only three years old playing his violin and I am sure it made my MH cry a wee bit. Aaww!

I did get out to play for a short time today but it has been a bit damp so I didn't stay out too long and when I came in my humans were watching the tennis and Andy Murray was on, so we all watched that. My humans support him 'cos he is Scottish and so are they, but I am Orcadian! I wonder if I purr with an Orcadian accent?

I don't know what I will be doing tonight as it all depends on the weather, but I am sure I will be outside at some point. I have been staying out later and later and I have even been coming home after my DH has gone to his wee bed, which means it is VERY late!!

Thank goodness they leave the window open for me 'cos I do like to snuggle up to my MH on 'our' bed!

Ah, yes. My little universe is simply wonderful. I hope yours is too.

No news

I have been on my own today 'cos my humans have been away to Stromness with nearly everybody else from my little island, so it was only a couple of humans and all us animals left!

I played outside for a while and then I slept a lot until my humans came home and then I sat on my MH's knee and she told me what she had been doing. I think everybody had a good time, but I was happy to see them home again.

I don't mind being on my own, but I prefer when my humans are here and I get their undivided attention which I will have tomorrow.

I shall make sure of that! So there will be lots more news for you then.

Picture the Scene

There was I, sound asleep on my MH's feets, dreaming of mouses and I was just about to catch one, when I heard a funny tapping noise.

I wakened up, and there it was again ---tap,tap, tap. I jumped off my bed and went into the spare bedroom and there sitting on the outside window sill was a ginormous seagull tapping at my window!

I don't know if he wanted me to go out and play or if he wanted my MH to feed him, but I crept into the room and growled at him from the floor. I didn't want to jump up onto the window sill in the bedroom 'cos I wasn't quite sure what the big seagull would do, so I just growled at him and swished my adorable little tail and he flew away.

I went back to bed and told my MH that she was safe again and we both had another wee snooze.
