A Cat A Day: 153/365

We have been renovating our house for almost two years and it’s been a long, expensive haul. We run out of money/energy from time to time. But this week has seen some progress. We’ve bought lots of Billy and Benno bookcases and CD storage towers from Ikea (15 of them) and have toiled away in the warmth to build them.

Naturally, they then have to be checked for structural integrity by all resident felines. Cosmo seems to have approved….

Lovely Asda advert for barbecue meat on the tv too.

There have been loud complaints around these parts. Apparently, I haven’t been posting enough photographs of our own kitties. 

So … here is Isobel with Malteser and Rosie. Poor Rosie has a pink scrunchie around her neck and was forced to wear it for about 2 hours after this picture was taken. Tribulations of living with a pre-teen girl…

A Cat A Day: 147/365

It’s been a struggle for me today with lots of sad goodbyes. Among many friendly young faces I will no longer see every day is Gareth Lang’s. Lovely Gareth is our Head Boy, a member of my tutor group and a student in my GCSE French class.

Today’s photo is a cute one of his family’s cat Ginger as a kitten. Sweeeeeet!

A Cat A Day: 146/365

Elliot the dog and this cat belong to Christine Raynal, one of our fabulous French Exchange host teachers. I’m so disappointed I can’t remember Christine’s cat’s name, but I could never forget Elliot, because he’s a crazy, friendly, excitable loon. When I first heard Christine talk to him, I thought he was called ‘idiot’ because of how Elliot is pronounced in French.

L’idiote, c’était moi évidemment!!
