A Dis-aster Dahling

I hope that sounded like Craig Revel Whats-is-name from Strictly, 'cos I tried very hard to get it right. Hee hee

I shouldn't laugh really 'cos it was very sad and I think I need to explain. Remember I told you my MH was making a cake yesterday? Well, she did and it smelled so very good when she tooked it out of the oven to cool, and I was a very good puss and didn't go near it at all. I just lay on my couch and sniffed lovely sniffs. But after a while, disaster struck 'cos my humans were taking the cake out of the tin and guess what happened? I can hardly bring myself to tell you, but it fell and landed with a thud on my kitchen floor and it broke. The cake, that is. Not the floor, just in case you get a bit mixed up.

Oh dear. It was so sad and my poor old MH cried 'cos she had worked so hard and was awful upset. Even my bestest cuddles and purrs didn't help and I didn't know what to do. My poor old DH was upset too, so it wasn't a very happy house last night, I'm afraid. However, things are a lot better today. The cake is still broke but my MH is feeling a wee bit happier and I have been doing my very bestest to keep her feeling good.

It has been a bit windy on my island so I have only been out for short times and my little weather man friend says it is going to be very windy tomorrow, so I think I will just stay curled up in my little bed until the naughty wind goes away again.

Maybe I will have some news for you tomorrow, but I don't have much to tell you today except I am happy and I hope you are happy too.

Another Good Day

It wasn't quite a normal Wednesday, but it was a good Wednesday and I have liked it a lot. My DH went away to the Cat Shop and I sat with my MH for a while before she had to go out too, but before she did, we had a play on my bed and she tickled me and cuddled me and told me she loved me so I purred back to her that I loved her too. Then do you know what she did? She covered me up with the blanket and left me to have a lovely sleep until she came home again, and I was so, so comfortable. I hope she does that again.

Later in the afternoon, my friend M. came over and she helped my MH to make our Christmas cake and I watched them and sniffed at all the lovely smells they were making, and just when they were finished, the nice farmer man from next door came in to see me. He said he wanted to talk to my MH, but I really knew it was me he wanted to see, so I gave him one of my special purrs and he smiled at me.

The cake is out of the oven now, but it is still very hot and I have been warned not to go near it, so I will ask the Boss to take a picture of it for tomorrow and you can see it for yourself.

I nearly got into a bit of bother this afternoon before all the baking started. When my MH came home, she sat on my couch to have her yogurt and just as she started, there was a bit of a crash in my kitchen and she came running through to find me sitting on the floor with the fruit bowl lying beside me and the oranges all over the place, plus a very squashed plum splattered on the floor and she very quickly worked out that I had been up on top of the cupboards again and on my way back down, one of my adorable little paws hit the fruit bowl and it sort of fell. Oh dear. I got a good telling off and even my 'I am so very sorry' face didn't work---but just for a little while. She soon loved me loads again!

I think I might not go mountaineering again. Well, just for tonight anyway, or until the cake is safely out of the way 'cos after all the hard work my MH has done today, it would definitely be more than my adorable little life is worth to hurt her cake!

I am just....

....plumb tuckered out! I have had a simply brilliant day and for most of it I have been sitting on a knee being petted and adored!

I think I can hear you saying that this is not a very unusual occurrence, but you will understand when I tell you that it was not my MH's knee that I was on, it was our visitor's.

I had two visitors in my house this afternoon---a man one and a lady one--- and although they both thought that I was beautiful and adorable, the lady visitor REALLY loved me, so I sat with her. Well, I actually sat ON her and let her stroke me and talk to me and I was very happy, and so was she. I think my MH was a wee bit jealous, but I'll make it up to her later on.

It is quite tiring being adored, so I am now resting on the back of my couch until it is time for me to go out hunting, but at the moment it is raining, so I am not in any hurry, and as soon as my MH finishes telling you all about me, I will plop my adorable little self onto her knee and there I shall sit until it is time for the old dear to go to bed.

I hope you will understand now why I am a little bit exhausted? It has just been one of those days. Lovely!!

Happy Day

We are all very happy chez Squeak and that is just because my dear old MH was able to run round my garden today with her lawn mower and she got all our grass cut, so she is a very happy MH, and when she is happy, we are all happy!

It has been a busy day in my house 'cos the vacuum cleaner came out first with the dusters and the polish, and as soon as my DH went away to the cat shop, my MH started all her cleaning. I think she likes playing with all her machines 'cos she brought out the steamer today as well, so yours truly took my adorable little self off to bed until she was finished because I know that when she needs a rest, I can sit on her knee for a while and that's just what I did.

We both had a wee giggle when my DH went out 'cos he remembered to take the case with him today and my MH didn't say a word, but we just looked at one another and then we smiled. It is a shame for him sometimes!

My friend M. came to see me today and we had a chat while her and my MH started to make our Christmas cake. OK, I shall give you a minute to digest that. Well, the sentence that is, 'cos the Christmas cake isn't ready yet. Hee hee. You see, my MH bakes things that me and my DH like but she has never made a cake like that before and she wants to try so my friend is going to help her. I shall keep you informed and maybe even show you a picture of it whenever it appears.

My DH came home just as my MH had finished cutting the grass and he put his shirt down on my couch so that my MH could sew a hole in his pocket, and I snuggled up inside it and had a lovely sleep 'cos it was so lovely and cosy.

So, you can see that we have all been very busy today and I have been told that we are getting visitors tomorrow. I am looking forward to that 'cos I love meeting new peoples, especially ones that think I am adorable---which most of them do!!

A Lazy Sunday

I like the weekends. My humans are normally at home with me all weekend and my MH doesn't do any house work so it is very peaceful in my house which is just how I like it.

I was fine last night after they both went out and the window was left open for me, so I knew I could go and see Mr. Bully Boy if I wanted, but I decided against it. I think he has had a falling out with Mrs. Cow 'cos he has started bellowing again and I think it might be wiser to stay away from him. My MH tooked this picture of him today when he was looking in my window and I think he wanted me to go out and play with him, but I'm afraid I was resting and I didn't go.

We have spent most of the day watching the golf on my television and I have decided that I am going to become a golfer 'cos I already have the one very important part that is needed to be a brilliant golfer, and that is the wiggle! I watched all the men getting ready to hit the little ball with their stick and they all wiggled their bottoms first and you all know that I have the most adorable little bum wiggle, so I reckon I am half way there. I just need to ask my MH to get me a stick and a ball and then I will ask my DH to dig little holes in my grass, and I am nearly famous! Oh I am so excited already.

So that has been my day. Nothing too exciting, but I have been a happy Squeak and I hope you have had a happy weekend too.

Very Normal

My Saturday so far has been a very normal day with me and my humans having a long sleep and then just doing little bits of work, but really taking it very easy.

My dear old MH is getting a wee bit cantankerous 'cos she is desperate to get the grass cut again and the rain won't let her. I won't tell her that I have been asking the rain to keep the grass wet so that she won't be able to take out the awful mower 'cos it would be more that my adorable little life is worth! I might have to give in sometime soon though and let her play with the machine just to keep her happy.

We have all been watching the golf and I am enjoying it so I am happy to sit on the old dear's knee and let her stroke my little lugs as she is watching my television. i have been outside a few times and I even went into the field beside the big bully boy now that he has stopped bellowing at me and I am sure he gave me a smile, so I think he likes me----and who wouldn't? Hee hee

My humans are going out to a games night in our Hall tonight and my MH is doing a quiz for everybody, so I shall be left all alone until they come back, but I will probably wander into the fields to see the sheeps and the cows, so I won't be too lonely. I always have lots of things to do even when my humans are not with me and I am never frightened 'cos I have lots and lots of friends who love me and who will look after me if I need company.

I think I am a very lucky pussy cat. Sure I am?

Windy, Windy

Me and my MH were up very early this morning. In fact, for the old dear, it was really the middle of the night, but up she got, and of course I had to get up with her to make sure she was OK. Now, I will let you into a wee secret. Sometimes my MH helps the lady in the Post Office and that's where she went this morning 'cos it opens at half past seven in the morning, so that's why we were up before the birdies.

I watched her go away and before she had even shut my front door, I was back in my bed which was still lovely and warm and I was sound asleep in a trice. I was in a lovely sleep when I heard my MH coming home to me again so I ran to greet her to give her a special purr 'cos I know she doesn't like getting up early and I wanted her to know I was proud of her especially as the weather on my little island was awful with a ginormous wind howling all round my house.

It has been very wet and windy all day and I have only been out once or twice although one time when I did go out, it tooked me a long time to get back in again 'cos the rain wouldn't stop falling down and I had to stay sheltering under the car for a long, long time. I was beginning to think that I would never sit on my MH's knee again when it finally went off and I raced home as fast as I possible could and jumped up onto my couch with a great big sigh of relief.

For the rest of the day, I sat on my window sill and watched Mr. Bully Boy in the field and I noticed that he wasn't grumpy any more but just as I was wondering why, I saw a lady cow beside him and they both looked happy, so maybe he was just growling 'cos he was lonely and if I had gone into the field to talk to him when he first arrived then he wouldn't have been so angry. Oh dear!:-(

Anyway, it has been nice and quiet now that he has stopped bellowing in my adorable little lug, and if this wind would stop shrieking, I could maybe get some more sleep.
