Voice tweets

It would appear, after much analysis, that it all stems back to the appearance of Random Cat (aka The Stripy). There was certainly a lot of [...]

Saturday , October 13, 2007 – 7:32

I was going to write this last night, but ‘Becoming Jane’ had arrived from Amazon DVD rentals, so I was forced to watch it. Yum.

Bread mystery solved

Tuesday , May 22, 2007 – 10:15

Some time ago, we were baffled as to why our cat was hunting and gathering squares of bread. Today brought revelations in the form of our neighbour. It is he that puts the squares of bread out for the birds. And Mogret has taken to making off with it.
He informs us that she drags the bread [...]
