Jam Therapy

After a hard day yesterday at work, this was just what the doctor ordered. I forget sometimes how therapeutic this is. Hubble bubble in the witches cauldron....muddled berry jam (blackberries, blueberries, red currants and raspberries).....done!

Ships Cat

I shouldn't laugh at someone else's misfortune so apologies now....BUT the cats face was hilarious and I have never ever yes never ever see one run so fast and it's facial expression was a picture. It went like an Exocet missile.

Ships cats may be part of naval and boating history but I have a real aversion to them and its deep seated after been peed upon in the middle of the night by the infamous Dave The Cat. Dave did survive his midnight misdemeanours but I have been scarred for life ever since!

This morning whilst out for a stroll along the pontoons, from the peace and quiet erupted a scream as a very loved ships cat that we have seen from time from sunbathing aboard a liveaboards bot jumped onto the pontoon. Next thing like a rocket he whizzed by, shot up the gangway and was gone....a family in hot pursuit. Don't know what spooked it, but it wasn't a happy pussycat.

A family went in hot pursuit but he is currently still missing in action.

Stunning day here, out for a spin later as have recovered from our fun escapades of Saturday.

Making Some Shapes!

It's amazing how an hrs worth of clearing up after the night before can cure you of most ailments. Do or die, I am now definitely back in the land of the living!

The Red Arrows made some shapes and I definitely made some shapes dancing away on the green last night disco dancing away to Dave Can't Dance. Note to self......making shapes next to a loud speaker is not good....still can't hear a darn thing this morning!

Cracking cracking day in beautiful blighty sunshine with good company....off to das bot for a rest now!
