In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling.
I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

We have a whole new year ahead of us wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other a little more loving & have a little more empathy & maybe, next year at this time we'd like each other a little more

I’ve lost track of the days, so here’s a throwback on what is probably the wrong day.
My daughter Kayte with Rhaegar who’s nickname was Krampus that Christmas because he had a violent dislike of certain ornaments on the tree, which he pulled down and broke or hid in places he knew we wouldn’t look.

I love this, but what I love most is the thought that complete strangers may have nicknames for your cats that you’ll never know about.
Like Blattcat’s and Greatcat’s owners have no idea that they’re called that. And my neighbours probably have nicknames for mine… 🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛

The gas leak alarms went off in our house last night and my husband and I were ordered to evacuate immediately, leaving our four cats inside.
The firefighters that made bringing them safely out to us gave them nicknames based on their experiences with them.
In the order that they were found…

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday
Life doesn’t pause for anyone, it keeps moving, with or without us.
It’s far too short to be spent on things that don’t truly matter.
Focus on what brings you genuine joy,

Friends! Lots of you have been asking after Ralphy. He often pops in to the Kitchen for a treat, but he doesn’t stay because he doesn’t like the attention he gets from the Triplets. Yesterday, though, he made an appearance at the back door and came in for a bit. He didn’t look comfortable though!

I’m a huge Hemingway fan. I’ve read everything Faulkner, Joyce, Ellison, Twain, and Brontë have ever written. I even own the complete library Dickens collection, all 28 volumes. And do you know which books have taught me the most about life? Calvin and Hobbes.
