I've finially got around to photographing and blogging about some of my art work over on Salaric - well I've done one picture so far - it took up three posts which suprised me I must say but once I got going explaining why I had painted things like that I couldn't stop!
If anyones interested here are the links - feel free to slate them - I mean it I need critasism people!

Betsy who is Barabaras Black cat (often mistaken for Minni) had to have lots of teeth taken out about a fortnight ago and has not been very happy since - she turned up on the door step and appeared to want food so I gave her some cat treats. Poor thing seemed all eger and then just started pawing at her mouth instead of eating them up - Barabara says this is what she does with food now 
On top of that the kittens keep sneeking into the Mill and eating all her specially prepared food! And then the little beasties have been beating her up as well - as its obvious she's unwell and there fore is losing her dominant position in the strange and complex cat hieracy.
While sitting on a train yesterday, I typed up some thoughts...

There was a huge racket - cats sounding like they were doing some serious damage to each other so bravely armed with a Mag Lite I went out (after switching on the out door light and noticing Barabara had come out of the Mill).
Tim chased a sorry looking Betsy passed my door with Barabara shouting at him, I shouted at him and they belted passed me. They jumped over the stream.
Then to the realisation - Barabara thought that Tim was beating up Minni - Minni however was sitting on our setee, I thought it was Betsy who was sitting in the Mill - no it was a third Black cat - dadadadum!
On top of that the padlock off the stable mysterously disappeared a few days ago and today the heater fell off of Barabaras wall hav ing her question weather there is a poltergiest about - but then there were two really low planes zooming over us today as in enough to make things rattle - I didnt think they were allowed that low :/
But I have to say that the padlock is worrying especially as I swear the other night that someone was tapping on the window but when I finially got up the curage all there was was H and He sitting on the window sill and wormery looking over towards the padock.
In fact this had me so shock that today when I kept hearing someone knocking and getting to the door and finding no one there I started to really panic - but it had just been Barabara being to impatient and going off and gardening up on the lawn bit thinking she would see me if I came to the door!
Of course this all happens on evernings and days when Al isn't here :/ Sigh.
Jean doesn't help by standing up and pointing to the window going 'eye, eye!'
Oh and I apparently saw May bugs tonight - they are large and browny orange and the kittens keep pouncing them. I mean large.
I've finially remembered to post this over on Salaric, I had to design a Chinese new year craft activity for the Cubs here it is!
