I have Ted to thank for today’s pictures. He stood on his head and photographed the four cats in their banana-box under the dining table. It’s been pretty well chewed since the last time we saw it. I’ll have to pop to Tesco for a replacement.

Willow and Percy relaxing on John’s knee. It’s never long before Willow runs away.

I was up ridiculously early this morning. As ever, it’s taking quite a while to adjust to being on holiday. I’m even feeling tense this Sunday evening. What a wally.
Anyway, when I got up super-early, I found all four of our kitties snuggled together on a big cushion on the landing.

You wouldn’t think it if you met him, but Willow is our most adventurous cat. He seems rather solid and staid compared to the rascally young Milka and Percy, but he has a daring side. Once he sneaked out and enjoyed a whole night of freedom before we found him. We don’t live in the countryside, so our cats are confined to the house and yard so they don’t get run over or stolen.
Anyway, I’m wittering. A few weeks ago Willow found something to jump off onto the fence and made another escape bid. We caught up with him pronto this time and moved his jumping block. Poor chap must be so frustrated.
Do you like our olive trees? North East England is the perfect environment for them …

I’m sewing again, because I just love making stuff and it’s a great stress-buster. Eventually I hope I will have made a tote bag. For the time being, it’s a work in progress. The ironing board is a cat-magnet and I have to chase them every time I need to press a seam.

Sneaky kip on the bed after the door was left open. Milka discovered the others and was just choosing the best spot to join in.

When he feels like it, Willow is a very cheeky cat. I’m improving and will be venturing back into the scholastic fray tomorrow.

Willow helping me prepare lessons. He’s not too good at French, German, Spanish or RE, but he likes to think he’s supportive with the IT aspects of my job.

Things are settling well at Siamese Towers. Quartz and Rosa remember each other and have given each other confidence and companionship. Rosa is grooming Quartz as if she is his mum. It seems that my weakness which led me to buy another of Jo’s kittens has been the key to making Rosa settle at last.
Willow is a total dude and is tolerant of and mildly interested in all other cats and hostile to none. Florence is undecided through absence-under-the-bed.
Milka is our only current concern. He’s been hissing at Quartz and has even given him a paw-bat or two. I’m sanguine that all will be well in a couple of days.
