Chilled

Today was a chilled one .  Mum slept in, but I woke her at six to remind her I like biscuits , at 7 to tell her it was raining outside and at 8 to let her know she was just being plain lazy taking up space in my bed.  So she got up and I went back to sleep until 4pm.

Thursday

Hello Thursday.   It has been a strange day for the mumster.   She was on call last night and went to work from 10pm until 1am.  She had to go back from 6am until 8am.  When she got home she tried to avoid lying down, but she finally succumbed for a couple of hours of snoozing.

She had thought tonight was her hair appointment, and when she rang to check they were kind and offered to squeeze mum in.  She was glad to be done early, but it was cold outside walking home - time to dig out the gloves.   So home now and the heaters are on warming us up.

Lucky Ladies

How are you my furriends?  Mum had a little long day today.  She stayed under the covers til the last minute at 7.04am before getting ready for work.  Work, work, work all day.  Finished late then into town.  Library visit, supermarket shop, bus home then wash the towels and dish out my feast.  Mum made some Thai green curry chickend for dinner with rice.  A kiwi/banana/pineapple smoothie for supper and some temptations for me.  We are lucky ladies.

Tired

I was so tired when mum came in to talk to me, that I could not even get my eyes open!

Snuggle Sunday

Mum decided to nix her A and B plans today and go for the C plan of stay at home with me.  Snuggles and a good book helped to help her relax.  The week ahead is almost upon us, and mum is ready.

Caturday

Mum still felt  a bit out of sorts today.  I helped her by letting her have a sleep in and giving her a few snuggles.  She read her book for a while and then went for a walk as it was such a nice sunny wintery day.

Mum then went and met a bestie for some lunch, a big bowl of spicy chicken noodles and a wander round some shops.  She was glad to be able to head home early.  She passed this little pink house on the way.  Cute - but mum doesn't think she would paint a house that color.

So mum did the dishes, washed her uniform and hovered the floors .  I had my feast and was in bed by 6pm.  A clear sunny day means a frosty cold night, so mum thinks she may head to bed early too.

We hope you are having a nice Caturday and have something nice planned.

Soft Spot

I have a little soft spot just behind my ears that mum likes to pat or give me a kiss.

Her shifts are over now for a while, so she got to have the day off to chill out.  She slept in, but rather than feeling refreshed when she woke up she felt a bit out of sorts   after doing a few chores she got herself organised and went into town for a wander.  The evenings are much cooler now though and she was glad to return early.  The curtains were drawn and the heaters are turned on.

So we are ready for the weekend  - how about you?

Bag Thief

That's right lady - I'm going to stop you heading off to work by stealing your bag.

Lady Lunch

Mum is on the afternoon shift again today.  5 down and just 3 to go.  She tries to make her own food to take, to save the pennies and this week is trying to clear out the fridge before buying more groceries.   She had a couple of large spuds to use up - so decided to make baked potatoes.

Super easy.  She microwaved them for 15 minutes then put them in the oven for a 1/2 hour.  She chopped 1 small onion + 1 small zucchini + 1/2 red pepper.  She fried these in a small bit of oil.  She then scooped out the inside of the potatoes and added the cooked veg, 2 slices of ham chopped up small, butter,  2 chopped up slices Swiss cheese, some defrosted peas and corn and salt and pepper.  All mixed up and put back into the potatoes and back in the oven for a further 10 minutes.

So a tasty lunch for her and supper for the next couple of days.  Me - well I am going to stick to the feast.

Mums 24 Hours Away

Mums 24 hours away went well.  It was for her lovely niece Miss Belles 21st.  It did rain on the day and turned real cold.  On the Sunday it was a clear blue winters day so mum was up early and went for a little walk through town.

When she got home she had to go straight to work, and finally got home at midnight and I was pleased to see her. I followed her round and bugged her to come to bed do I could sit on her leg and look at her.

Things are back to normal today as mum has got the washing machine working and I am back to being tuckered out on the bed.

Life is good.

Sunday

It's Sunday and i'm counting down the hours til mum is back.  She flew home this afternoon on this little plane.  She didn't have to come home first, she had to go straight to work.  She did promise me that she would be back by midnight so that I could get my feast.  I'm ready mum - time to come home.

Away Caturday

Mum finished her work late last night.  So I got to have a midnight feast and went to sleep with a full belly.  This morning I got kisses and cuddles and mum whispered in my ear and told me that she had to go away at lunchtime and would not be home until Sunday night.

Mum would prefer not to be away, but she had to go somewhere overnight.  More than one night and I would have to go to the cattery, however she knows I don't like going there.  So she made sure I have a pile of biscuits and plenty of water.

I don't like strangers so mum is reluctant to get a cat sitter in either.  I am scared of other people.

So we will let you know how our weekend goes.  Hope you are having fun on your Caturday.

Red Roses

Even though mum worked late last night, she dragged herself out of bed at a decent hour.  A pile of plates needed washing, some clothes were washed and then mum headed into town.  She visited the post office, the library and had some lunch before heading home.  She passed this pretty cottage that had lovely red roses blooming round the door.

She got home in time before a little rest before donning her uniform and heading off to work.

Me well I am busy guarding the bed like a good pussy cat should.

Cat Snuggler

In the morning time I have a little routine.  I hate the hair dryer being on but when it is finished i jump up next to mum for a quick cuddle.   On days like today when mum has more time to spare she slips back between the covers, and I climb on her lap for more cuddles and purring.  She uses that time to relax and read before she gets up and gets on with her day.

Cat Wars

At early 6 o'clockish mum heard me and another pussy cat have a karaoke session outside. She heard the upstairs people wake up and move round, and then she heard the neighbors wake up too.  Ohhh ohhh!!!

I ran inside 5 minutes and collapsed onto the bed.  I was all tuckered out.  Being on patrol and on guard is exhausting.

Monday Relaxing

This is the face I made most of the day.  It was the Queenies birthday holiday today.   Me and the mumster decided to stay home all day.  She got some jobs done in the morning and set out to chill in the afternoon.   Although she got an invite to go out, she decided that she needed to just chill as she has a busy week ahead.

What kind of face are you making today?

Winter Sunday

 This morning was mild, and mum and I enjoyed a sleep in.  She did get up and head outside to go and meet up with friends for brunch.  They went to a local cafe, but the food was a bit of a let down with what mum thought was a measerly portion.   While they were eating the cold Southerly rolled , dropping the temperature and bringing rain.

The girls looked at a couple of shops, but mum was keen to get home and turn the heaters on.  A nap was then in order.   Mum even let me have my feast at 3.30pm.

So tonight mum will make a veg mash for dinner and cook up some sausages - a good winter staple for her.
