Yes it is obviouslt for posting all the magnetic alphebet letters in - she spent ages crawling backwards and forwords to get the letters off the fridge and place them carefully in the potty.
She and the kittens have also been helping with the house work!
Jean spent yesturday giving me things she had fetched - unfortunatly one of these helpful items was the bag of nappy sacks - the sacks all fell out. The kittens then decided they would help tidy these up - the landing and bathroom floor were covered but then JEan helpfully picked them all up and gave them to me - with uber amounts of enthusiasm!
The kittens also decided that I wasnt being fast enough with my bead work and that the sharring elastic needed to be on the other side of the room!
Disclaimer - no babies or kittens were left on their own at any time with horrid bags that could suffocate or choke them!
Ok on the cooking front I have learnt two valuable leasons this week 1) when making a sponge don't use the electric whisk as the cake collapses and 2) don't try and soup Protien Chunk Gunk unless you like ministroni type soups and even then beware!
p.s. Al eat the soup!
Photos coming soon - honest!
Sorry baby lovers this is about the cats. Both the kittens and Mini have been bravely venturing outside but not too far! We were very chuffed that Mini came back 🙂 So we must be doing something right!
The kittens have only just started venturing to the other side of the drive, much prefering the 'jungle' as a place of saftey.
Hydrogen is definently the more adventurous and bold of the two - she was the first out of the box and always the first into a situation but then again she is also the first to dart back into cover. Today they met Betsy for the first time - this is Barbara's cat, again there was hissing - Betsey made a bee line straight for H and hissed, H stood her ground with minimial back arching until (to our suprise) Betsey ran away! So yet again our little kittens have faced of a bigger older cat and won! Unfortunatly they have started sniffing around the Stable which is most definatly Tim terratory - this could proove interesting!
Mini too has been venturing outside though she took longer to approach the open door, mainly it would appear , becuase she has to go through 'prime kitten terrotory' to get to the door - yes she does seem scared of the kittens! We just cant believe the way all the adult cats are behaving. Anyone would think the kittens were pit bulls or something!
Oops fogot to post - it was a few days ago now! (actually I then forgot to post it again so it was ages ago!)
I picked our first corrots ages ago but never posted about them! We had them in stir fry and they looked the way I remember carrots looking:)
Today I did some more weeding of the veggi plot, including culling some of the spinach which is almost taller than me! I picked our first parsnips 🙂
Once I started to prepear them I realised I was dealing with Monster Parsnips and that the Wiggly Pets would have to be involved!
The parsley is doing really well but the garlicks have bit the dust 🙁 I need to clear more of the plot for the globe artichokes wwhich are still sizzling in the propergator!
The cats aren't meant to get into my office, since I have desks laden with delicate electronic circuits with long cables that dangle down, but somehow Minnie snuck in there - because this morning, as I was sitting at my desk, she appeared beside me and meowed while looking up expectantly. I patted my lap, and she jumped up, made herself comfortable, and lay down to purr.
That's not something you normally get while working in an office, is it?
Despite the well-known stress-relief properties of a purring cat on your lap... If I ever set up an office, I'll make sure I get non-cat-allergic employees and have an office cat or two!
But, alas, not where I'm trying to do electronic circuit development.
