Lots to Do

I have been quite a busy wee puss today. I have been playing with my MH as it was just us girls at home today 'cos Friday is one of the days my DH goes to the Cat Shop. Now, normally I am the centre of attention but I was not best pleased with the old dear today and I shall tell you why.

The weather on my little island hasn't been too great and when I saw my MH putting on her coat and going outside, I decided that she was going into the garden to play with me, but I was wrong. Oh so wrong! The silly old sausage took out the lawn mower! It was threatening to pour with rain and blow a gale and she decided to cut the grass!! I was not a happy Squeak, I can tell you, so I left them to it and went inside and curled up on my chair until they were finished. Fortunately the weather behaved until the old dear was finished and she was very, very pleased with her dear little self. Bless!

After a while, our friend N. brought in our boxes of messages and while my MH was putting them all away, I chased the bit of string all round my kitchen and then I carried it into my living room and played there for a while. I like playing with string. In fact, I like playing with all my toys and every time my MH plays with me, I pick a different toy and now she just leaves it all to me.

We played for a long time until I was a bit tired and then my MH sat at the table and made some cards and I just sat on my windowsill and watched the rain running down the window and tried not to listen when my MH kept telling me how lucky she had been to get all the grass cut before the rain came on.

Oh, she just LOVES it when she is right!

Success!

I had a long, long look and I finally found my intrepidness. It was under the bed beside my wee green ball, so I had a quick play with said ball, slipped into my intrepidness and then slipped out of the window into the night.

Now, in case you are wondering, and I am sure you will be, nobody can see my intrepidness 'cos I wear it like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and it makes me feel very brave when I am out in the big world all by myself.

So, back to last night. I sat on my MH's knee until it was time for the old dear to toddle off to bed and I lay beside her until she dropped off----oh no, not off the bed!!--- off to sleep! Oh, I am having a funny picture in my adorable little head and it is making me giggle. Anyway, she is sleeping, my DH is in the study playing on his computer and I have decided I am going out. Ok? Are you keeping up?

I gave my DH the signal that I wanted out, wrapped my intrepidness all around me and shot out of the window. Now, unfortunately I hadn't looked to see what the weather was doing and it was only after he had closed the window that I realised it was pouring with rain and I am afraid my intrepidness isn't waterproof, so I was getting wet. We won't to the 'ringing' joke again, 'cos I think you have heard it enough times.

I ran as fast as these adorable little legs would take me until I came to the pampas grass and I sheltered for a minute or two and listened for any little birdies that might have been out, but they had more sense than me and were all in their little birdie beds sound asleep, and I decided that I should be in my own little bed, so I jumped up on the study windowsill and waved to my DH who ran to the door and let me in. I was so wet he used nearly a whole bath towel to dry me, but by the time I was ready to cuddle up beside my MH, I was lovely and dry again and I had a very good sleep.

We have had a good day today and I helped my DH paint the other garden bench and then I watched my MH while she made some scones and some pancakes and then I took her into the gym before I had a little sleep on her jacket.

It isn't raining now, so I am hoping that I will be able to stay out much longer when I go out later on, but I will tell you all about it tomorrow.

Not Much News

It has just been a normal Wednesday Chez Squeak with my DH going to the Cat shop and my MH going out for a wee while and yours truly having a snooze till she came back.

We were all up quite early, and I nipped out to my garden to see what was happening before the old dear had to go out. If the weather is good enough, she leaves the window open for me, but today was a wee bit windy so she closed it which was fine by me 'cos I didn't really feel like going out. I saw her safely off the premises and showed her my 'I am really going to miss you' face, but as soon as the door was shut, I was all curled up on my bed with my 'I just love this' face on. Hee hee

I ran to greet her when I heard the door open and we sat on my couch and had a wee chat about mouses and sheeps and world affairs in general before we went out to feed the birdies and then I sat on my window sill and just waited to see who would come along for a feed and this is what I saw. A ginormous big seagull! My MH doesn't mind the big birdies getting some food, but she prefers if the littler birdies get their dinner first, but they must have been at somebody else's house today and this big gull got a LOT to eat.

We played on the carpet with my toys for a while and then we listened to my DH when he came home and told us all the things he had been doing in the shop, and that took us up till dinner time and between you and me dear friends, my wee lugs were getting a wee bit sore! He had a LOT to tell us!!

It is raining now so I don't know if I will be going outside tonight, but maybe I will find my intrepidness if I can remember where I left it, and I will go hunting in the rain and the wind and the dark.

Oh yes, 'Intrepid' is my middle name. "Squeak Intrepid Mathieson"---yep, that has a very nice ring to it.

More Fun

I am liking this weather. Although it has been a wee bit wet sometimes today, I have still been able to get out to play lots of times and that makes me very happy.

I have been into the field in front of my house and had a chat with the little lambs and we all liked that. They are so beautiful and some of them have lovely colours on their wool and I love to watch them running and jumping around. It reminds me of when I was much younger!

My DH has been working in my garden and in our greenhouse so there has been plenty for me to do--watching that he does everything the way the Boss would like it. It makes life MUCH easier for us all if he gets it right the first time, so I do my best to help and I know he appreciates it.

There was just a wee bit of vacuuming done today so I was able to stay out of its way. I lay on my path and listened to the birdies. Every day we go outside, there are more birdies on my little island and I love listening to them chirrping and singing and sometimes I meow back at them to let them know that I am listening.

When my MH had finished all her work inside, we went into the gym and then she played with me on the grass while I attacked all the bits of pampas grass and I made the old dear laugh 'cos when she was watching me, I spied a very dangerous blade of grass that need to be killed, so I crouched down and stared at it ---hard! Then I wriggled my adorable little bum, pinned back the equally adorable little lugs and WOOSH! Like a streak of lightning I was off and before you could blink, the big bit of grass was no more. I had saved the world again! Phew.

I was a wee bit tired after that, so I decided to have a little nap and then I heard a noise which I knew I didn't like and I went outside with my humans and that's when we saw the nice man from next door, but when I realised what he was doing, I decided maybe he wasn't that nice after all 'cos he was fixing the lawn mower! Aargh!

I thought I had put a spell on it, but he made the awful machine work, although the grass was too wet to cut, but now I know that my MH will be able to take the mower out when the weather is dry and my lovely, quiet days will be shattered. I did ask him not to fix it and to pretend it would never go again, but he just smiled and kept on working.

Oh dear, I suppose it was just too much to hope for. I shall just have to concentrate on my rain dance from now on. Oh Joy!!

Well....

....isn't this just the cutest thing on four adorable little feets you have ever seen ---- even though I am lying down! I have had such a crackin' day, that I needed a little apres dinner nap. But I look oh so cute, don't I?

We had good weather on our little island and me and my DH have been in and out a lot of times while my MH was running round the house with the vacuum cleaner, and that in itself is a sight to behold, I can tell you. When I needed a wee rest from chasing around my garden, I went into my house to see what the Boss was doing and I got a brilliant surprise 'cos she was changing the beds again and this time she needed my DH to help her to turn the mattresses so I had the bestest of fun playing in my bedroom all the time my humans were fixing the beds. I hided under the 'lectric blankets, which my MH had turned off in case I was Squeak toast :-)), and I played in the duvet covers and it was brilliant. My MH kept smiling at me and my DH kept shaking his head, but I was a very happy pussy cat.

I went back into the garden to help my DH put oily stuff on the benches and then I helped him with a wee bit of gardening and I showed him how to chase and catch some pampas grass, but he wasn't as good at it as me, but that is very understandable, sure it is? Maybe if he had four feets like me, it would help.

Then my MH appeared with the washing which she was hanging out and I played on the grass while she was doing that and I even managed to run up the clothes poles lots and lots of times and that made her laugh again. And guess what my DH did? Yep,he shooked his head. His head gets shooked lots of times, but I don't know why. Maybe I will have to ask him.

My next job was to take the old dear into her wee gym. She hasn't been there since she came back from Aberdeen 'cos her wee legs have been a bit sore, but she told me today that she was ready to start again, so oft we went and I sat on the chair while she played on her bike and then I ran round and round my garden again when she was finished.

So, you can see why I needed my little snooze after my dinner. My adorable little tummy was filled up and I was feeling very content, so I just curled up on the back of my couch and before you could whisper my name, I was sound asleep dreaming of mouses and pampas grass and duvet covers and all those things that I love playing with.

Oh I have had just the very bestest of days and I still have night time to come!! Magic! Magic!! Magic!!!

Lots of news

Yes, I have a lot to tell you today. First of all, I am very well and very happy. I played with my humans last night in my living room and then I went outside late at night and did all the things I just love doing before I had a very good sleep curled up beside my MH.

Me and my humans don't get up very early and some people on my little island think it is quite funny. My MH was talking to one of her friends about the mist yesterday morning and my MH said she had seen it and her friend said 'Oh it must have lasted a long time then' and we all giggled.

Anyway, when we got up, the weather was nice so my DH went outside to paint one of the benches just to see how it would look and it does look good again after all the winter, but then the Boss appeared and decided to see if the lawn mower would work and at this point yours truly was not best pleased 'cos I had been having great fun running up and down my garden and my MH was throwing bits of pampas grass for me to chase, so I decided to see if I could still do my rain dance and ran round and round in circles saying the magic words, and guess what? It worked!! Oh, it so, so worked! The rain suddenly came on and the lawn mower wouldn't start so we had all to go inside again. Yippee!

Before we had to go in though, I had good fun and I sat up on the gate post and when my MH looked at this picture she said I look as though there was an arrow coming through me, but honestly I am very alright.

You might also be worried about another picture you saw and that is the one of me on top of the big unit. Well, my living room is NOT sinking. It is OK. Honest. I think my dear old MH must have been leaning in a funny way when she tooked this picture 'cos my friend S. asked me how I didn't slide off the unit, but it doesn't look like this for real. I will ask the old dear to take a proper picture for you so you don't need to worry any more.

I am now having a wee sleep on my couch desperately trying to remember what I need to do to make the rain STOP now 'cos it has served its purpose, but I would like to get out to play again, so maybe while I am sleeping, I will remember what to do. I hope so.

But if it raining where you are, that has nothing at all to do with me 'cos my spell only works in my garden. OK? :-))

A Very Good Day

Me and my humans have had a very good day and we are all well and very happy. I have been a wee bit quiet over the past couple of days and my MH was worried that I might be a wee bit unwell, but I think I have just been tired and maybe a wee bit lazy 'cos I am feeling fine.

My MH asked me to play with her last night, so we both lay down on my carpet and played with my toys and that's when she knew I was OK 'cos I was enjoying myself and doing what I usually do. The only slight problem was that the old dear couldn't get up again and me and my DH had to help her. Shame :-(

We didn't get up too early and when we did, we couldn't see very much 'cos my little island was covered in mist and I thought I wouldn't get out to play much today, but then the sun came out and the mist all went away and my MH tooked this picture of it for you. We were in my garden for a long time and it was just lovely, and I rolled and rolled on my path while my MH stood and watched me and then she tooked this picture of me which I really like 'cos you can see my adorable little tongue licking my nose. My MH tried to do that with her nose, but she couldn't so maybe I will teach her. I just hope my DH has the camera ready when she is trying. Hee hee.

When we were going back inside, we noticed this starling sitting on my chimney, but I just left it there 'cos I knew that by the time I climbed up onto my roof the birdie would have flewed away. I am a very clever puss, don't you know?

I love when the weather is like this and I love being outside with all the little sheeps and all my little creature friends and there are lots more to be seen now that the weather is getting better. My very favourite time is night time when it is getting a wee bit dark and it is very quiet and that's when I do lots of hunting and exploring and pussy cat things before I nip back in my window and have a sleep with lots of lovely dreams.

I hope the weather is like this tomorrow and I will go out to play with my humans 'cos they have said there are some jobs they need to do outside and I just love it when we are all out together 'cos it makes it much easier for me to keep an eye on them. You just never know what they are going to get up to next!

I hope you are having a good weekend too doing all the things you like to do.
