Well...

... I have been feeling slightly under the weather today and I haven't been outside very much, but when I did go out I managed to commit a very serious accident. Nobody was hurtfortunately, but if I had been caught I would definitely be writing this from the bottom of the soup pot!! Hee hee. I shall explain.

I decided to stay in today although the weather was lovely, but I was still a wee bit afraid the pesky swallows would be waiting for me, so I just sat with my MH as she was doing some of her cards and I liked that 'cos she talked to me all the time she was working and I could sit and look out of the window and see everything that was happening, so I was quite content---and safe!

However, my MH went away with my friend S. and some other peoples from my little island to paint all the benches that are dotted around the place, so I was left with my DH who was playing with his strimmer to make my grass tidy after my MH had cut it all and I decided to be brave and go out with him.

While he was some place else, I decided to go into the greenhouse and have a wee nosey and it was then that I did something dreadful. I knocked over my DH's can of beer that he had taken in with him while he was having a wee rest. Oh dear. I tried to put it back into the tin, but it just wouldn't go, so I did the only sensible, honest thing to do. I ran away!!

A wee while later, my DH went back into the greenhouse and nearly cried when he saw what had happened, and I just sauntered in beside him and gave him my very best 'oh dear, DH what a shame' look, and he doesn't know it was me. Phew. 'cos in his eyes, that is a unforgivable crime!!!

I am resting now but I shall head out later on and see what is happening with all my little animal friends. I am looking forward to that and I hope you are having a very good weekend.

My Hero

My MH!! Yep. My dear old wonderful MH saved my life tonight and I love her to bits for it. Now, I know you need to learn all the details, so I shall wait till you are settled comfortably and then I shall tell you. Ready? OK

It has been a lovely day on my little island and this afternoon was just so beautiful that I wanted to be outside all the time, and off I went through my fence and was very happily playing in the long grass being a very good little Squeak until I decided it was time to go home and tell my MH what a good time I had been having, and it was then that disaster struck. Well, very nearly.

I was gaily romping through the long grass on my merry way home and I was humming a little tune to my adorable little self while my little wagger was waving in the wee breeze, and then suddenly I got dived bombed by two horrid, horrid swallows! Oh my dear friends, I thought I would never see my house or my beloved humans again 'cos every time I tried to move, these awful birdies swooped down on me and I had to lie flat so that they couldn't reach me. I was frightened and every time I tried to run, I couldn't 'cos the birdies were very fast, so I just had to lie there in the long grass.

Now, it so happened that earlier in the afternoon my MH had done her washing and we hanged it out on the rope to dry and just at the very right time, she decided to bring it in again and that's when she heard the noise the birdies were making and she stopped to see what they were shouting at and it was then that she saw me lying in the grass with the birdies circling just above me and that made her very, very angry 'cos she loves me loads and doesn't want anything to hurt me.

So, she called my name and the sound of her voice must have told the birdies that they were in trouble 'cos the flewed away and I ran as fast as my adorable (frightened) little legs would take me, right through the fence and up beside my MH who picked me up and gave me a great big cuddle and told me everything would be fine now. Phew! My hero!!I do hope that these pesky swallows will leave me alone now 'cos I didn't like that one little bit.

My day had been good up until then 'cos my DH was away to the Cat Shop and my MH was down at the Hall 'cos the minister had come to see everybody, so I was just doing anything that I wanted to do and I already had played in her guitar case which I love 'cos it is all furry and cosy and I think I could easily make it my bed if my MH would let me, but I don't think she will somehow. :-))

I am hoping that when I go out to play later on I will be left in peace 'cos I don't want to hurt the birdies, but if they keep doing bad things to me, then I shall have to show them who is the boss, and there is only one boss here. My MH! Hee hee.

Lovely Thursday

I had a very good night last night wandering through all the fields and just enjoying some peace and quiet doing pussy cat things. The weather on my little island has been good lately and I do appreciate that. I do go out in all kinds of weather, but I don't like the wind and I am not too keen on being wet, although I love it when my humans dry me and make me feel all normal again. So, you see, I like being outside but my very favourite time is when the sun is shining and making my adorable little body all cosy and warm. I love the sunshine and even at nighttime when the sun has gone for a wee sleep, my little island is just a magical place to be and I am so happy I am here.

I was tired when I got home and I nipped up on to my bed where my MH was already snoring, so I gently cuddled in beside her and had just the bestest sleep until the alarm clock wakened us all up. My dear old MH was going swimming as I told you yesterday and like I mentioned, me and my DH had a great big list of things to do, but she did say to him that if he was busy it would be OK, but we knew she didn't really mean it. :-))

When the old dear had left the island, me and my DH settled down for a wee chat about what we would do with the day and we decided that the best place to begin would be the greenhouse, so oft we went to have a wee look at our plants. His are doing OK, but my little pepper is doing wonderfully well---not that I am boasting, of course!!

We did everything very slowly today 'cos we were enjoying the lovely weather, but we decided that we had better make a start to 'the list' and we managed to get everything done much to the delight of the Boss who gave us both a gold star, although I got a very special cuddle as well!!

There definitely are advantages to being an adorable pussycat!

Just Wednesday

Today was just a very normal Wednesday with my DH going to the cat shop and my MH going out for a wee while and then the childrens coming to play their guitars and that's just what happened today.

I know that on a Tuesday night I have to be home quite early 'cos both my humans need to be in bed earlier than normal, but as the weather was quite good through the night, my DH could leave the window open for me, so I played on my new cut grass and then I went through the fence and into the long grass where I sniffed and ran and played and by the time I went back through the fence to go home,I was quite a tired little Squeak and I cuddled up beside my MH and had a good sleep till morning and then we were all up quite early.

I did a wee bit of playing outside before my humans went away, and while I was waiting for my MH to come home to me, I just had a rest on my bed and got my special cuddle all ready for her 'co I know she needs that when she has been away from me for even a tiny wee while.

We had enough time in the afternoon to have a play on my grass and I had my favourite game of hide and seek with the old dear, but I think she found me as you will see from this picture. We had good fun outside and then when we were finished, we sat on the couch in the peace and quiet 'cos we both knew that it would soon get noisy when the childrens came and oh boy, were we right!

The little cherubs are getting better at their guitars, but it is still quite sore on my adorable little lugs. The best bit for me is when they are all finished, and I appear from my hiding place to let them cuddle me 'cos that makes us all happy.

My MH has told me that she is going swimming with her friend P. tomorrow, so me and my DH will no doubt be given a ginormous list of all the things she expects us to do, but I hope she remembers that we have all our plants to look after and they must come before any hoovering or dusting.

I'm sure my DH will be able to explain this to her without her exploding, but I will let you know!

Gardening Again

I got a wee surprise tonight 'cos my MH decided to cut our grass after she got her dinner and she NEVER does that! So, what made tonight special? Well, nothing really, but the grass was too wet all day to cut it and when night time came, it was a wee bit better and because my little weather man friend had said it might rain soon, the old dear decided to get the lawn mower out and I went outside with her and watched what she was doing, so that made her very happy.

We have all had a good day and me and my DH invited my MH into our greenhouse to see our little plants and my DH is amazed to find that there are some baby peppers already. He has no idea how they have growed so quickly, but we know, sure we do? Yep. I have chosen the peppers this year and I have been giving them lots of purrs and happy looks and they are growing better than my DH's tomatoes! Oh happy, happy Squeak.

While my MH was in the greenhouse, I decided to climb my favourite pole and sat at the top long enough for her to go and get her camera and take this picture of me. Oh, I just love being up on the top of the poles 'cos I can see for miles and miles and I am nearly high enough to catch the pesky swallows when they fly past me.

I am resting now 'cos me and my MH are quite tired after having cut all my grass, but my garden is looking lovely and if it is not raining later on, I will go out and play on the short grass before I head off into the fields to talk to all my little mouse friends.

Oh yes, another good day for yours truly!

Happy Monday

I had a very good sleep last night 'cos I was all curled up beside my MH and that is just where I love being and to tell you a secret, she likes it too. I didn't even mind when the vacuum cleaner made its Monday morning appearance and I just settled on the back of my couch and watched as my MH cleaned my living room.

I went into the greenhouse with my DH and our tomato plants are nearly ready to get their photographs taken, so I shall ask my MH to do that tomorrow and I will show you what we have been doing. When we were out, I heard a great big rumbling noise and when I looked over to the field, I saw Mr. Bull and he didn't look or sound very happy, so I stayed very close to my DH----to protect him, of course!

The bull used to be in the field beside my friend S.'s house and she called him Mr. Grumpy, so I think I will call him that too. My MH told me not to go into the field beside him 'cos he might hurt me, but I had already worked that out and I definitely won't be found anywhere where he can catch me. I certainly don't want to end up as Mr. Grumpy's afternoon snack!

The weather today hasn't been too bad but not as nice as my humans would have liked 'cos my MH needs to cut her grass and it is foggy tonight so she thinks it is still too wet for her to play with her lawn mower and I for one am not complaining. It is good enough for me to get out to play later on so that just suits me fine and I shall tell you tomorrow what I decide to do later on tonight.

I expect I shall have the very bestest of fun as usual.

Hello Again

It's me, Squeak and I'm back! I hope you didn't miss me too much while I wasn't here. Well, that's not quite right 'cos I WAS here but my MH who writes this for me WASN'T here. See? She and my DH had gone away to Stromness for a concert and they couldn't get back home to me, so I was all on my own last night and I was just a wee bit sad and a big bit lonely.

My friend S. came to see me and to give me my dinner and I sat on her knee for a while and we had a chat so for that time I was happy instead of sad and that helped me a lot so when she went away, I went through to the bedroom and I sleept on my MH's pillow and I had some good dreams.

This morning I wakened up when I heard my door opening and I got a lovely surprise when I went into the kitchen 'cos my MH had comed home to me and we had a ginormous cuddle which made us both very happy. My DH was in the Cat shop today so he didn't come home till after six o'clock, but we are altogether again now and that is how I like it best.

I had two friends in to see me this afternoon as M. and S. came to make sure that I was OK and that I was being looked after. They said they had come to talk to my MH, but I know the truth! They were looking after moi! I had a play in my garden and a good old stretch on one of my bits of wood which helps to keep my adorable little claws in very good condition.

So you can see that I am right back to normal again and I am once again a very happy little Squeak.
