Food,
fashion, felines – cyber life appears to revolve around this unholy trinity to
which I’m about to add my contribution as landlady for the Holiday Home for
Cats.

| Cats on holiday |
Daughter’s
two mischievous moggies are keeping me company this week as she’s swanned off
to Austria for a week on the piste. And
what a pair they are! There’s the ‘I’m
just going to hide under the duvet cat’ called Dusty and the ‘I’m too lazy to
do anything cat’ called Pookie who loves to eat, sleep and spend the day
chattering to birds, flies or cobwebs (no shortage of those at home).

Shelby
is much bemused by her furry companions, preferring to tuck into some
dandelions before shuffling off for a kip in her cardboard box behind the
lounge door.

| Look Dusty's not under the duvet |
 |
| How about a nice tasty dandelion? |
Visitors
have not deterred our neighbourhood kitties from calling at the Charminster Cat
Café for their daily bowl of milk and Dreamy treats.
 |
| Cat Cafe - closed (for now) |
Both Ginge and Mr Tabbs have turned up
regular as clockwork only to find al fresco dining is the only available option
on the menu. Supping your milk outside
on the decking bereft of a pampering is definitely not what the doctor ordered
so I expect the pair of them will be relieved when the interlopers clear off
back home.

| Who's that mog? |
Meanwhile
back on the stairway to heaven, things are taking a step in the right
direction. Two whole days of solid sanding
has turned the house into the Sahara. What
a mess! And where are those itinerant
traders when you need them? Never mind a bit of tarmac, I could have
press-ganged a lackey or two into giving me a hand but I guess these days, they’re
too busy taking over the local parks before the Easter break to be bothered
with door-to-door enquiries.

| Wood sanding by cats |
 |
| They've done a lovely job |
A
bit of wood filler to plug a few cracks here and there then it’ll all be ready
for staining next weekend which means I can take the day off tomorrow to pay
homage to the ‘Papa’ (Papa Emeritus III of Ghost) at the Brighton Dome.
