Sometimes Pûnkass and I visit the cheese and bacon tree. This is a handy location for replenishment when mice are sparse and manage to evade me. It is also very dear to us because it was the location of our first dayte when Pûnkass realised the love stuck in his eyes for me.

Sometimes if we are fortunate enough, we accompany our munching of cheese and bacon with a side dish of moss and grasshoppers. This greatly enhances the nutritional properties of our diet, mm.

After we have had our fill we sometimes make love pottery under the shade of the cheese and bacon tree. Pûnkass is a very splendid potter indeed.

Counter Tops

On this day I made a hijean allowance (it's good to to let go every now and then) and I invited everyone over to come and play counter-tops in my kitchen. Pûnkass was busy trying to catch birds to play whilst some of us were seriously gaming, mm.  Although Miss Casey was rather busy watching a mouldy old shell of a spider dangling from a web on the ceiling and Kirsch managed to catch her out on that count.

Muffins spent the afternoon lolling about drinking nice cups of tea that I made for him, but I was worrying about him lying on the cooker top, my heart was in my throat most of the afternoon - he's such a dare-devil, mm.

Mr O as you can see from the score board is excellent at this game, he’s a very scary cat sometimes and on more than one occasion I thought I might need to visit the litter-tray in a hurry. Still, this day is a fun memory, I still chuckle to myself when I remember falling for that old trick, he gets me every time he does, mm. Just when I think I’m going to get a dab at him he catches me unawares.

Of course, afterwards, I made sure to thoroughly disinfect the counter tops.

Fishing Proficiency

One day I went to Casey’s and we went fishing on Rhode Island. I only managed to catch an old boot, but it was a DM which was quite handy. I so had wanted to make a fish pie for Punkass’ supper, but it wasn’t to be and he had to make do with DM stew and dumplings.

But still, Casey and I had a lovely day. She is definitely at one with the fish and caught many whoppers. She told me that next time we go she will teach me how to do the fish whispering that she is expert at.

Would you look at the concentration on Casey’s face!  Such poise she has when she’s doing her casting and stuff, such a professional and that fishy sure did look very nice. Mr O was very lucky for his tea that night.

Afternoon Tea

An Afternoon at Grandma’s

One afternoon Pûnkass and I decided to go round to see my Grandma because Pûnkass likes the cookies that she bakes. I taught Grandma everything she knows about cooking, goodness knows how she managed before I came along.  

We think that my Granma is a good witch because she has a puppy-dog called Hamish who still has his tail, newts in her garden which run amok unhampered and frogs who bounce around merrily in her pond. She’s even got a herb garden, but is wily to the use of nip in her garden – we’d soon be moving in to live with her if she had a supply of that on tap so to speak, mm.

Anyway, Pûnkass politely demanded that Grandma bake a fresh batch of cookies for our enjoyment. Whilst we left Grandma busily whipping up her concoction in the kitchen, we thought that we would while away some time boating on Grandma’s handy pond. It was very relaxing and calming just floating around the pond, letting our paws drape in the warm summer waters, bliss really.

Fergus eventually lost his temper with us because we were messing up his arrangement of pond weed that he’d spent hours doing. We soon got the message and went in to see if Grandma had finished baking our cookies. And there were two steaming hot cups of tea waiting for us too

* sigh *

where would we be without Grandma’s? Hoorah for Grandma’s! They’re jolly good sorts. Mm.
