Much Better

I have had a very good day today. It has been warm and sunny and just perfect Squeak weather. I have been outside all day and have been so busy that I think I might have to have an early night, but I have loved it all.

Me and my MH were up quite early and she was able to leave the door open which meant that yours truly could come and go at will while the old dear sat on the couch and looked at all the lists she had made of things she needed to do. I am happy to say she has nearly finished everything and her list is just a little one now.

I went into the greenhouse with my DH and I watched very carefully 'cos I might need to show A. what to do if he forgets. My humans gave him all his instructions last night, but he has been looking after me for so long now that he knows what to do. He is quite excited about the new lawn mower, but I will be staying well away from him when he is doing that!

Mr. Bully Boy was making a dreadful noise this afternoon, but then the nice farmer man next door put a lot of lady cows and some baby cows in the field and I think they gave him a telling off 'cos he has been much quieter. Maybe he was just a wee bit lonely and is happy now to have some company. I am not going near him though just in case he doesn't like puss cats. Even adorable ones like me!

I won't be writing to you for a wee while 'cos as you know, my humans are going away on their holidays, but as soon as they come back, I will tell you about all the fun that me and A. had while he was here with me.

I hope you have a good two weeks and I also hope you won't miss me too much. I will miss you :-(

So Lazy

We have all had a very lazy day except that my humans decided that they needed to pack their cases but they were watching me so much that I had no chance at all of hiding inside one. That is maybe just as well 'cos I might have suffocated and I wouldn't have liked that at all.

I won't be writing to you for a wee while after tomorrow or maybe Sunday depending on what the old dear needs to do. They are going away on the boat on Monday and leaving me all alone, except for my bestest friend A. who will look after me. I know I will be perfectly safe and well looked after, but I do miss my humans. I will tell you a wee secret. My MH is looking forward to her holiday but she says she misses me millions when she is away, so that made me a bit happier. And it is just for sixteen sleeps, so that's not too bad, is it?

I haven't done very much at all today 'cos it has been raining again, so I have spent lots of times on my couch or on my MH's knee, so I don't have news for you except to tell you that I played with the string when my DH came back from the pier and then I had a long sit in the box when they emptied it, but my MH couldn't take a picture 'cos when she went for her cameras, I went with her to see what she was doing!

That made us all laugh 'cos my MH thought it was funny.

Not Quite

Do you remember that I told you I might stay out all night last night? Well, I didn't. I did think about it. In fact I thinked so much about it that by the time I DID go home, it was nearly morning! I had had a very good sleep on my couch in the evening and I went out to play as normal until it was time to help my MH get to sleep and then I nipped back in.

We settled down and while she was reading, I had a napette but when she put the light out I asked my DH to let me out to play again and oft I went and I had a brilliant time just playing and chasing and generally being a puss. It was oh so very, very good and I loved every single second of it. After a while, I heard my DH calling for me and it was then that I started to think.'Should I go in and go to sleep, or should I stay out and play?' I lay down on the grass and made a little list of all the reasons I should stay out and all the reasons I should go in and while I was doing this, my DH called about another two or three times and then I heard the final call. I know it is the final one because of the tone, and it was then I reached my decision and my little legs scooted me right home and straight onto the bed beside my MH who was very pleased to see me, although she was half asleep but she knowed it was me. I think the whiskers were a give away!

I have had a very good day today and I have still been able to get out and play as much as I want to, but I did manage to take some time away from my beloved fields to go into the gym with my MH and when her little legs were finished their hard work, I decided to see what it was like on the treadmill and she tooked this picture of me for you.

The picture is fine, but I will tell you a wee secret. I don't really like the treadmill, so I won't be going on it again. On the other paw, maybe I will try it when it is still switched on! Hee hee

Still Having Fun

I think summer has finally arrived. Well, it's not really a very good summer, but at least it has stopped being winter. I think! Anyway, it is good enough to let me get outside as often as I want and I want --- lots of times.

I got a surprise today. Both my humans went away on the boat and that made me a wee bit sad 'cos it meant I was going to be on my own all day, but I got it wrong and that's where my surprise came in. I wandered round my garden for a while and then I sat on the back of my couch just wondering what to do with my adorable little self for the rest of the day when I heard my door opening. I was just about to fly into attack mode when I noticed it was my MH who had come back on the dinner time boat and I was a very happy puss.

I sat on her knee while she had her lunch and then we both had a perambulation round the garden and that was so good. I listened to the birdies and I saw a curlew which was very beautiful. I also noticed that my three duck friends were back outside my gate and I wandered over to say hello to them but they waddled away quite quickly. I think they are still frightened in case I hurt them. Which I wouldn't, of course.

We were able to stay out a long time and even when my MH went inside I found a lovely shaded wee spot in my garden and I settled down for a wonderful nap. It was so very good. I am now resting inside on my very favouritist chair, but I shall be going outside again after I have gathered up all my energy. I love these long light days when it doesn't get dark at all and it will be good fun tonight 'cos there is no wind and so my humans will be able to leave the window open which means I can stay out as long as I want.

I still haven't stayed out for a whole en-tire night yet, but I have a feeling in my adorable little bones that tonight might be the night! Watch this space.

A Much Better Day

I have been a very happy puss 'cos I have been outside nearly all day and both my humans have been out with me too so it has been a really good time for this little cat.

Me and my MH were up first and she did a wee bit of housework before she went out to feel the grass and when she does that, I know she is wondering if it is dry enough for her to play with her lawn mower and today it was! So we both went outside and for once the big bully boy wasn't moaning at us but he was away down the field so I don't have a very good picture of him for you, but you can see him. Actually, I am a bit worried about him 'cos he has been very quiet all day. Maybe he has a sore throat with all the bellowing he has done. That would be a shame, but at least my adorable little lugs are getting a rest, which is just lovely.

My MH told my DH that she was going to cut the grass so he went into our greenhouse for a while and yours truly dotted between on human and the other making sure that they were both doing what they should have been doing. And they were! Well, they knew I was watching. I don't mind the mower much any more 'cos it is quicker that the old one. Actually it is quite funny watching my MH's little legs running after it, but I never let her see me smiling. I know only too well what would happen! The other thing about her cutting the grass is that when she is finished, she sits with me on the bench and gives me all her attention and plays with me and that just makes me the happiest Squeak in the world. I wonder how many Squeaks there are in the world? I guess I will never know but I am sure I will be the adorablest!

Anyway, I had a very good time and I didn't even mind when my MH had to go out visiting one of her friends 'cos it meant I could have a very quick nap till she came back and then I moved---very quickly--- from my chair to her knee, and there I stayed for a long while.

Ah yes. Just a purr-fect day, and it's not finished!

I am thinking

Well, it's not weather to do much else, I'm afraid. I am sorry if I am boring you with the news about my weather, but me and all the people on my little island are a tad fed up with all the bad weather we have been having. It is so wet that the cows and sheeps are not happy either and as you know, I am having difficulty finding a place to do what needs to be done---on a daily basis, at least!

Anyway, my friend J. sent me a message with a video on it about a flying pussy cat and then I saw it on my television at news time and I got to thinking. Would I like to go flying? I have been in a car and I liked that. I have been on a boat and that wasn't too bad, but I have never been on a plane. Well, I watched the news again and I watched the pussy cat's face and I don't think he looked very happy at all, so if I go flying---and right now that is a very big IF---I would need the full outfit. You know how I love my uniforms! I am gathering quite a little wardrobe now. I would need a little leather jacket and a white silk scarf like Biggles and of course I would have to have a helmet and the goggles plus a great big seat belt 'cos I am not at all sure that I wouldn't fall off if I did what the puss on the telly did. I think he was very brave and I am glad he didn't fall off 'cos cats can't fly, you know?

I have had a very easy day and spent a lot of time sitting with my MH in between her hoovering times and we had lots of girlie chats which were good and then we went into the gym for a while 'cos she need to keep her little legs working hard. When she was finished, I raced in from the garden just in time to hang on to the end of her earphones 'cos that is one of my games. I try to catch them before she puts them in her wee box and she tries to put them in her wee box before I catch them. It is really good fun, but she usually wins! :-(

We didn't go straight into the house and instead we played for a while on the grass, but it was a bit wet. However, my MH knew that I wanted to play so she stayed outside with me for a long time and I had good fun except for just one thing. And that one thing is a very noisy bully boy in the field in front of my house. The nice farmer man next door put him there on Sunday and he has roared and roared all the time he has been there. I don't think he is happy, but when I asked my MH why he was shouting so much, she said I was too young to know these things. I think it has something to do with the fact that he is in a field with the sheeps and all the lady cows are in another field and he has nobody to talk to.

But I tell you this. If he doesn't stop roaring, I am going to see if I can get HIM on a plane!!

Rained Off

Oh dear. What a rotten day it has been. It has never stopped raining all day and this little puss has not been very happy 'cos I haven't been able to get much at all. Sigh.

I did have a very good night though and I was able to stay out very late again. In fact, I was out later last night than on Friday and it was nearly three o'clock when I slipped in my window and snuggled up beside my MH who then got up and closed the window and just happened to give me a wee biscuit while she was up anyway. Guess what my DH was doing? Yup. Snoring. Bless!

I am watching my television just now and there are some very funny sheeps on it. They are very different to the sheeps in my fields 'cos these ones have long curly coats and I don't know how they can see 'cos the wool is hanging down in front of their eyes. I am sure I would be able to creep up to them without them seeing me. Funny, though.

I have been watching a lot of television today and to be quite honest with you, my dear friends, my adorable little derriere is a tad sore with all the sitting I have done. Me and my MH were watching the tennis today 'cos Andy Murray had to play two games, but he won them both and I am sure that is because my little paws have been crossed for him all day. I can now walk properly since he is finished! Hee hee

I have a little embarrassing story for you. As I told you, it has been raining all day, so everywhere outside is very wet and this little puss needed to find a comfortable place to sit and do a bit of business, if you catch my drift. However, every time I tried to settle down my aforesaid adorable little bum got wet. And it fair put me off, so I decided to nip home and use my litter tray. I flew in the window, did what I had to do and flew outside again leaving my humans just shaking their heads at me. Sometimes I do flummox them, I'm glad to say.

I have noticed that more and more things are going in the case so I guess holiday time is getting closer, but I will be fine. It's just not the same, but it is still good.
