Hmmmm. One of these cats is Not My Cat. His visit did not go down well!
I couldn’t work out why the cat was going mad for my work bag but I’d forgotten that yesterday I pinched a tiny bit of Nepeta from the park and it was in a pocket. He’s currently rubbing green leaf into my cream rug with his cheek. 🙄
I bought the cat a toy that dispenses Dreamies when he shakes it. He touched it with his nose twice and is now furious I won’t just give him the treats.
My cat has found his own way to cope with the heat. He just stays up all night and sleeps all day. That would be fine if he didn’t expect me to do the same 🙄
The face of a cat who just got smacked in the head with a cushion. I went to put it out of my way and didn’t realise he was having a kip on the back of the sofa. 🤦🏼♀️ I am not popular.
Possibly the worst M&S sandwich ever. Where’s the bloody marmite?!
Cat is as dumb as a dog! He found a Dreamy on the floor by the bag and now thinks there must be a treasure trove in there!
Car’s in for MOT so grabbing breakfast on my way home. Anyone want anything?
Pretty sure this isn’t supposed to happen. 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you Sainsbury’s!
Nice little charity shop haul today. Cinque Ports Pottery and Mortimer Wheeler.
The wet flannel was supposed to be for me but the cat was being outrageously dramatic last night. He also jammed himself between me and the fan.
Mischa meets MoonPie. Mischa wheedled and eventually MoonPie got bored and left. 🤷🏼♀️
Trying to persuade a very unhappy cat that most of the surfaces in this house would be cooler than where he is now. The cooling pad might as well be poisonous apparently!
Eleven minute walk, a couple of towels and some frozen grapes make for a perfect Sunday afternoon.
The face of a cat who finally managed to kill his nemesis, Drug Mouse, and is now high as a kite! Poor Drug Mouse. God bless his little catnippy heart.
A useful morning pointing and laughing at a small number of racist idiots doing their best to get some attention in Brighton.
The next train to Cockfosters is probably not this one as it’s been sitting here for five minutes while the one I want is behind it somewhere! Grrrr
I have Japan in the office sweepstake. Let’s see whether we even get out of our group.
The good thing about working in museums is that when you want to kick something you can no look at nice things. When you work at Gunnersbury you get to stroll about this lot!
The Stagecoach bus office in Worthing covered in flags for Pride. I like to think Brian Souter would be furious 🤣
English summer + English seaside =good excuse for coffee and a muffin! Mind you, my skin feels wonderful after sandblasting walking along the front!
Psychocat has decided that our new getting up time is 4 am. I am very unimpressed and he is unrelenting but only one of us gets to stay in bed all day 😭
Those of you who’ve been following me for a while (cooeee and why!) will know that I have the ability to close a foreign museum simply by being in the country. Miraculously, this wasn’t the case this time in Palma.
