I can hardly believe this letter we received today from the Council. Apparently we have been “selected” with no input from us to be part of a Wildcat Reintroduction Zone. We’ve been sent an almost threatening letter about making sure our cats don’t interfere with the reintroduced wildcats. I am so outraged that I am […]
This is what yesterday – 30th March looked like. Basically it was sunny all day. We made 50.2 KW, used 30.8 and sold 19.2 back to the grid. At the average rate of sale via Octopus that is £2.88 (in practice, because of the flexible tariff we are on and the presence of the battery […]
Saphy would like to introduce you to her Easter Project “Destroy the newly washed and ironed bedspread”. Saphy and the bedmat
R bought me a dark chocolate Easter Egg (after only a few hints from me). I am really not fond of milk chocolate, or worse still the abomination which is white chocolate. Amber admired the egg too. A little black magic from a magic black cat…
Yesterday I bought R a large Thorntons’ Easter Egg, complete with an inset box of chocolates. He greatly admired it and I reminded him that it wasn’t to be opened “until Easter”. This morning, I noticed that the box was open and all the chocolates had gone. R claims he had obeyed my instructions because […]
I got these from the Argyll Bakery in Inverary (where I got the very good mince pies at Christmas). Now my arm is recovered I could have made them for myself, but these ones looked so fetching that I couldn’t resist. They are yet another thing R won’t eat, but J and I enjoyed them.
Thinking out the layout of my area in the house for the time I am in a wheelchair, I have decided to put a single bed into my office. This is so that I can access it from both sides, and also because my existing bed in the main bedroom is ridiculously low. I’ve been […]
Lucky now spends a lot of his time in the cat tree in the lounge. He is invisible here… Until he moves slightly and shows one white toe. He has one white toe on two of his paws, one white toe on another and one white whisker.
About 2am today there was an almighty cat yowling noise from the hall, plus a banging like something falling over. We thought it was Lucky having a spat with the ladies, but it went on and got louder, so R shot out of bed to investigate. I am a bit slower because I can’t walk […]
I decided to convert our smallest bedroom into a gym. This room has had quite a few roles in the last few years – it was an office, then a “snug” where we were going to watch TV but never did, then a server room when I was running my computer company, and finally a […]
