Back in March you may remember I did a video of our ‘back garden’ on one of the few days that it didn’t rain. Well to show the difference a few months can make – here is the same scene transformed in early summer. The colours of the bluebells and broom is fantastic – in […]
For a blog that is supposed to be about our Donich Water – I don’t seem to have shown it much of late – so here it is in all the glory of early summer. It is actually remarkable how quickly it can rise and fall – last week it was a raging torrent, but […]
I caught this little encounter (click image above for video) on the webcam from last night. Obviously the badger is not phased out by its meeting with Schrodi, and Schrodi (whilst clearly not thrilled) is not terrified either.
We have just seen a large orange cat calmly make its way out of the woods behind the house and saunter over to the front garden where it spent some time in the heather contemplating its next move before heading off through the fence towards the river. In the direction it came from there is […]
Our Doctor’s Surgery seemed to have converted itself to a Vet this morning. I presume this is for an April Fool – but it would be even funnier to turn up with one of the cats in a box and say that he needed a worming tablet. I don’t think the cats would find […]
Last night I had just put the nuts out for the wildlife when I happened to look out of the window. There was one of our badgers munching away. Luckily R’s sister who is an excellent photographer (her photo included below) was here – so we very quietly went outside to see if we could […]
Nothing beats cats for contrary. Shut them out of a room and they want in, shut them in and they want out. Back before I was an experienced cat owner I used to buy them expensive toys only to have them ignore them in favour of the box they came in. Anyway – we can’t […]
While I was typing the previous post, I put my Surface down on the chair and went to the loo. On my return two minutes later, I found that Schrodi had not only been in that chair for hours and hours, but also that he had contributed to the blog with a very insightful comment […]
A few weeks back I think I had been reading too many articles about Windows 8 (which I have been running since the Consumer Preview) and touch. So I thought it would be an excellent idea to buy a proper touchscreen monitor for my desktop. It could sit on the right hand side of my […]
We have two Snow Bengals called Tora and Schrodi. They are brothers from the same litter, and though it is hard to believe, they are nine years old now. That makes them middle-aged, which is fair enough, because so am I. Tora is short for ‘Toraneku’ which is Japanese for ‘Tiger Cat’. I don’t really […]
