Now here's funny thing

Me and my MH wakened up very early at four o'clock this morning and when we looked out of the window, all the world had disappeared and everything was just white! I couldn't even see my gate! My MH said it was like living in the middle of a big marshmallow!

So, we just went back to sleep and when we wakened up again, the marshmallow had gone away and my world was back again. I wonder if we eated our way out of the big marshmallow when we were sleeping?

I have been out playing a lot today and I went down to see the mummy cows with their babies but they didn't need any water 'cos it had been raining yesterday and their tub was still full. So I just had a wee chat with them instead.

While I was exploring, my MH went into the gym and did her wee leg exercises. It's not the exercises that are wee---it's her legs!! Hee hee :))

Then in the afternoon, my friend S. came to see me and she picked me up and tickled my tummy and I liked that very much so I purred loudly for her and that made her laugh. I was quite tired after that, so I just lay down on my sheepskin rug and had a nap, and she thought I looked adorable.

And now that you have seen today's picture, I know you will agree.

Can you see me thinking?

My MH says she can! We have a wee porch outside my front door and there is a wee wall there too that I sit on quite often when I am watching the cows or the sheeps, but one day I am going to jump up from there on to the top of the porch, and my MH says that in this picture she can see me trying to work out how I can do it.

I might get up, but I am not sure how I would get down again! Maybe my DH would need to come up for me, so I think I will need to give this a lot more thought.

I don't have a lot to tell you today 'cos I haven't been doing much 'cos we have had a lot of rain today. I did go into the gym with my MH but when it started raining hard, I decided I would be better off lying on my couch, so I just nipped back in the window and left her to get on with her exercises all by herself.

I have been watching the tennis and I am so upset that Raffa got knocked out 'cos he is my very favourite, but I s'pose we will keep watching. I will need to pick another favourite---but just for this year, 'cos Raffa will always be my VERY favourite!

A Wet Day...

.... with lots of rain, which means I have been inside all day just sleeping. I didn't even get to go into the gym with my MH 'cos it was too wet for me to venture out, but she told me all about it when she came in again.

We did lots of work in my house and my MH has bought a new blue mop which I had great fun playing with and chasing it around the floors as my MH was trying to clean them. I think I cleaned the floors more than the mop did!

Then we played with a blanket box which goes under the bed and my humans got a new one, so they were changing all the stuff from one to another, and they had a wee bit of difficulty 'cos I got into the box before they could put anything in to it, and I didn't want to come out again, but eventually my DH gave me a helping hand!

Me and my MH went outside for a while last night 'cos I like going out and she decided to come with me and she took this picture of me as I was telling her all about my strawberries.

You will see that there are cages on them and my DH had to put these over the strawberries 'cos a certain wee pussycat had been using the lovely soft soil for doing something which wasn't very good to do on strawberries.

I wonder who that was and I wonder what that pussy cat was doing? Hee hee :))

Something Different

We were having a quiet night last night and then my MH saw that the sky was lovely and so she decided to go outside and take some pictures, and naturally, I had to go with her to make sure she didn't do anything silly, and boy, what fun we had!

While she was taking her pictures, I danced around my garden and climbed my poles and ran and ran until my little legs were sore. My MH says she thinks I have a brilliant imagination 'cos I make up games to play and pretend I am a big brave hunter.

She took this picture of me just as I was about to pounce on an unsuspecting blade of grass and I think I look so wonderful in it. I like my action shots!

As we were going into my house, I asked my MH to take a picture of my little butterfly so that you could see it and here it is. I like it and I hope you do too.

I had a rest and then I went out to play again when it got late and I was out for hours and hours and hours, so today I have been sleeping, but I am about to go out and attack my neighbourhood again and see what is happening on my little island.

I shall tell you tomorrow.

I'm in charge

Well, I WAS in charge but the Boss is home now and I am so exhausted with all the responsibility that I have to have a lie down!





My MH was away to Kirkwall today with some of the ladies from the island and she told me that I was to be in charge of my house and my DH. Now, being in charge of my house is easy, but being in charge of my DH......?? :)))

However, I worked very hard and we got on fine. We put out the washing which she had put in the washing machine before she went away on the boat, and I made sure it was hung on the rope properly as I watched from the top of my favourite clothes pole.

Then we did our own work in our greenhouse and we spent most of the rest of the day in the garden 'cos it has been hot, and it is just how I like it. My little weather man friend has done really well today and has given me beautiful weather.

My DH went to the boat to help my MH get her messages home and once they had packed everything away it was my special time and I sat on her knee and she told me all about her day and I told her what I had been doing and we were both very happy.

She brought home some new ornaments for my garden and maybe tomorrow I will ask her to take a picture of them so that you can see them. There are two birdies and a butterfly and they light up with the sun, but it is so light all the time just now, that we don't really see them working, but they are lovely.

I am resting now, but I shall attack the outside later on and I shall stay out very late 'cos my DH can leave the window open for me to come home whenever I feel like it.

And tomorrow I am not in charge, thank goodness. I am just an ordinary pussy cat, although a VERY adorable one! Hee hee :))

More Visitors

I have had a good day and even the weather has behaved itself. We have all been outside today and I have hardly been in, but I did have a visitor that I hadn't met before.

One of our neighbours came to see my MH and although I had seen her, I didn't really know her and I was pleased when she agreed with the rest of the world and thought I was adorable. BUT. She brought her daughter with her and this was something completely different for me 'cos this wee girl is only two and I am not used to babies.

However, I thought I would see what she was like and I wandered slowly to where she was standing, and naturally, she wanted to clap me, so I let her. ONCE!! She was not nearly as gentle as my humans and so when she tried to do it again, I scooted off under my couch and stayed there until she had gone away with her mummy. So I think from now on, I shall be a child-free pussy cat!

When the coast was clear, I reappeared in time to go down the path with my MH to water the cows and that was good fun as usual, and that is where today's picture was taken.




The nice man from next door, who is the wee girl's grand dad, came to see me and we had a wee chat while he was putting some more of his cows in the field next to my house and then I played while all the humans had a chat.

Soon it was time for my MH to cut my grass, and I have stopped complaining 'cos it is nice to lie on when she has cut it, so I just lay on my path and watched her and then we went into the gym.

I think her wee legs must be tired by now 'cos she has worked hard today. I will sit on her knee after my dinner and make sure she gets a rest.

I hope you have a wee rest too.

Lazy, lazy day

There's not much happening in my little life today as the weather is still bad and I don't want to go outside for too long, so I have been playing with my toys in my house and having wee snoozes on my blanket and on my sheepskin rug.

I was a little bit naughty last night 'cos I wakened up very early---about one o'clock in the morning--- and I decided that since I had slept so much through the day, I was full of beans and I would just have my breakfast early and go out to play.

A simple plan, I thought, but there was just the littlest flaw in it---I couldn't waken my MH 'cos she had stayed up late and hadn't been in her bed that long! Oops! Well, I tried gently wakening her by purring rather loudly in her ear and that didn't work, so I even more gently walked on her face and that did the trick, although she did land on the top of my wardrobe at first!! Hee hee :)))

She gave me some biscuits and left the window open for me, but it was quite wet so I decided to stay inside, but I was lonely and wanted my MH to play with me and I kept trying to see if she was awake---which she was eventually! So you will have worked out that I am not flavour of the month today!!

We went into the gym for a while and I played while my MH did her exercises and then we played in the garden for a while and I rolled and rolled on my path and did some very fetching stretches.





After this, we went to see if the cows needed some water but 'cos there had been so much rain, their bath was still full, so we just said hello to them and went home again and I watched as my MH played on her Wii.

I think I had better go out tonight and get rid of all my energy 'cos if I distrurb my MH for two nights she has promised that will be the end of adorable Squeak, and I am taking no chances. :))
