Grumpy old lady
Its full steam ahead in the cattery at the moment. There are a number of kittens visiting which is lovely. They can be heard, of an evening, chasing their ping-pong balls around the chalet. One older cat takes exception to that kind of youthful high spirits and can be heard snarling and hissing at the kittens next door. You can almost hear her shout, “Turn that awful racket down, I can’t hear myself think”.
The floor painting in the cattery has started but will have to be done in stages when there are less cats in residence. It does look very fresh and light, agood move I think.
We have another cat waiting to be homed by the Cats Protection. He is lovely with the most unusual coat, very thick with dark grey on the top but when his fur is parted, its cream underneath.
On the poultry front, I hatched 12 ducklings in the week, they are all Aylesburys and will be looking for new homes, they make lovely pets, are decorative in the garden and even lay eggs! One of my hens, Tango, is sitting on six eggs, due to hatch next weekend.
Peaches and Ting-Ting are still arriving in the dead of night to eat my food but still havn’t discovered the rich source of rodents in the smallholding; you just can’t get the staff these days!.
Our garden is open to the public as part of the local fundraising effort so I have been furiously planting stuff everywhere and adding lots of alpaca poo in the vain hope that it will look like an established garden in six weeks - some hope.
