A little tale of the cat kingdom

Such a nice feeling, being able to open the fridge and have it bulging with fresh goodies and thinking what to have to eat, the new recipe of spinach rice went down well again along with the vibrant stir fry.  

We stopped off this morning on our way back from a doctor's appointment to visit the fish counter so today's lunch was fresh mussels in a white wine sauce, with a zingy salad.  I am determined to shed those extra pounds that have crept on, I know it's going to be hard due to all my levels being all over the place, but with the warmer weather creeping on, portion control and fresh produce it must work, surely??!! any tips gratefully received

 

I think I may try walking round the block each day too, its up and down hill so must be a bit of a work out, especially for me with the fibro, would be nice to do some yoga too, have to look into that

 

When Rebecca brought me back home she decided to stay until teatime today, we both felt reassured by being around and I´m pleased to say she is feeling a little better, so she has gone home to be with her girlies (cats)  We have put strategies in place for our comfort zones, discussed possibilities and probabilities, so all is very positive and forward thinking

 

I posted a photo of this plant on 29.1.15, where I said I would post another when it flowered, I say this because I can´t find the original one, but anyway it looks very pretty and is a haven for the bees who visit it all day long. 

 

 

We have a couple of other plants that need to mature, but in some of the high winds their pots were lifted off and smashed to the ground, resulting in broken stems.  I have planted these pieces and they seem to be taking, so, a very positive result as we can now dot these around to find the best growing space for them.

 

Last night our TV viewing was the football!

I am not a particular fan of sport, but as with all things give and take is in order

Last night it was between Reading and Bradford, an FA 1/4 final replay

Chris has followed Reading forever, and his Dad and Grandad before

In fact his father´s ashes are buried near the goal post

so it was very poignant last night for his team, that has been suffering its struggles, to reach this point.

so!

can you picture the scene, nail biting, edge of seat stuff

various comments of encouragement and then...within minutes.....

Reading score..............roarrrrr, jumping about and other whoooops.......

well....

there were cats flying everywhere from their safe little havens, where they were soundly asleep

wondering what the dickens was going on,

two raced the length of the house for the cat flap only to collide in their rush,

 others looked totally bewildered when they arrived in the dining room

 then decided it was best to see if any goodies were in the food bowl

other ran then turned and glared

they had just settled down again thinking it was safe

when.................

they scored again..........

the noise was so deafening it was difficult to register it was from one person

that did it

they all fled

every single one of the 9 - disappeared

have to admit so did Rebecca and I

there was another repeat performance with even more volume when a 3rd goal was scored

It was only after this when things quietened, did peace reign once again in the cat kingdom

goodness only knows what will happen in the semi´s

 

right, off to do tonight´s dinner

what to have, ooh let´s go and look

take care
