Gardeners' World

This is TJam's rhubarb. She has been told that you are not allowed to pull it in the first year and it was planted last August. It is looking very healthy, as you can see. Our question is, is this the first year, or could we take a couple of sticks to make a delicious crumble? Of course, TJam would also need to get a new oven, but that is a whole nother story (and not very interesting).

Brazil has suggested we just cut a couple of sticks off this year and do the pulling thing next year. Not that we don't trust her, but any other suggestions?

Aliens?

Crop circles have appeared. So far no sign of the aliens ... I'll keep my eyes peeled.

3 Artistic Ducks

Some people have 3 artistic ducks to decorate their house.

TJam doesn't, so I made her the next best thing.

Miraculous Recovery

We'll never know why I came over ill out on my walk and wouldn't walk, and trembled and even let TJam carry me 200 metres. And pulled this pathetic face. Eventually tjam called Pin, who came to pick us up. And then, after all that, whatever it was passed as quickly as it came and I trotted up to Pin's car and TJam was mortified. I have been fine ever since.

So Near

Yet so far. I am being very well behaved very close to some sheep. In fact, I am more worried than they are. I was having a sleep and they crept up behind me. I was scared stiff! And now I watch ...

Thunder

I did not enjoy our storm this afternoon. I couldn't fit under the bed so TJam made me a den. It's all over now and I'm not allowed upstairs again. I have cheered up and I found a hare scent on our walk. But no hare sadly.

Courgettes

TJam has 3 courgettes on her plant so far. That's zuccini or some such thing to you Americans. I am not that fussed about courgettes but I'm sure Chips could force a couple down ...

Swans

Swans are very beautiful and their babies are very fluffy and cute.

But if they swim towards you and the big ones start hissing...

... you'd better start running!

Stranded on the Motorway

TJam was on her way somewhere and there was a terrible crash on the motorway. TJam didn't see it but was stopped up only about 200m behind it. As the fire engine arrived up the hard shoulder she tried to take a photo of the truck in the mirror. It was so fast, it was past the window before the shutter went. Don't worry, the engine was off and noone was going anywhere.

Everyone was getting out of their cars while they were waiting. The air ambulance came. We do hope that everyone involved was ok. Everyone was very worried for them. In the end, the police directed everyone back up the motorway. They were very efficient. Lucky us dogs were at home cos it was a boiling hot day. For once we were better off in our cool house, even if we would have liked to go the barbecue... mmmm chicken.

Cream Crackered

We have just been for a great and very long walk. Over 3 hours. At my age. Ok so I am only nearly 10 but i've still got it in me! Now for a nice siesta to dream about cows and sheep and reservoirs and horse poo. Yes, a perfect walk indeed :)

My Hero

Magrat the Great Pigeon Hunter. I am not worthy. Hope you had a great breakfast.

Roots

Today I have been getting back to my stray dog roots. TJam was not very understanding about it.

Excuse Me Sir

But you're sitting on my chair.

Pet Hates

I hate it when people take compromising photos of me.

Snowie

TJam has been slow in allowing me to post this. Sorry Black Pea...

It is a memorial post for our lovely friend Black Pea's rabbit, Snowie.

Snowie was a loyal rabbit, and provided hours of fun and cuddles for Black Pea.

We know Black Pea misses Snowie and thinks of him every day. And we are thinking of you Black Pea. Call round for a cup of tea any time. I will even give you a cuddle myself. I am quite the friendly cat now you know.

- love from Carlsberg

Snowie

Role Reversal

We like TJam to walk all the way round the field while we sniff a patch of grass in the middle. It keeps her fit and tires her out so she doesn't get into any trouble in the evening. Bored humans can create trouble.

Bank Holiday Weekend

We had 90 very nice minutes of Bank Holiday Weekend today. I frolicked in the buttercups to celebrate.

Catsinthesink.com

I have started my own splinter group. Catsinthebath.com. Do you think it will catch on?

Breakfast

Mmm breakfast after TJam has pizza for tea. Hooray for leftovers and humans that don't like waste.
