A Cat In My Underpants



 I haven’t much news today . 
The pre dusk has found me sat on the loo listening to David Sidaris on radio 4
An older man pants around my ankles, with a small black cat curled up inside my boxer shorts 
What a catch. 

We all have funny little habits don’t we? 
I still hum camptown Races ( doo-dah, doo-dah!) when brushing my teeth
I laid down in the front garden to cloud watch but only for 30 seconds as there were no clouds to be seen and the ground was far too hard given the hot weather .
I was disappointed

I didn’t finish my counselling notes 
I didn’t start them 
I only person I spoke to was the German by video
I thought a lot about just why Sam Neil has been missed so much 
He was everyone’s dad 
Ann Widdecombe’s death was so sad and pointless too.

I’m staying home more since the catheter insertion and I know I shouldn’t 

Trendy Carol has a new puppy, a fox terrier, Gracie , who is adorable . 
Roger meets her tomorrow 
Kelda Manley has fostered some injured herring gulls

The Rectory garden Party is all set for Saturday

    You actually gave me good laugh.
    "I didn't finish my counselling notes.
    I didn't start them."
    That just sums up a day like that, doesn't it?

    Duly noted: there was a small black cat in your underwear last eve. Hope that's an oddity in your household.
    Never had a tooth brushing tune, but will consider it. doo-daa-doo-daa!
    Wave at the German for me. My Dad's mother was from Kreutzburg (sp?).
    We all can be certain there is much laughter in Trendy Carol's house as their new puppy finds his/her way around.

    Hugs!

    Remember to remove the cat, before pulling up your pants.

    Thanks for the giggles & grins with the post title. What a picture you painted! ๐Ÿˆ‍⬛๐Ÿ˜Š
    Will be interesting to hear how Mary & Roger get on with Trendy Carol's new puppy.
    BTW... have you met the new owners of Old Trevor's home?
    Stay safe & well, John dear.

      No, they keep themselves to themselves and have not entered any village events…I think I will give them two tickets to the garden party as a TCA welcome

    Meandering and funny
    With a serious vein in the background

    Well, your not much news is much more interesting than my not much news. The image of a cat in your underpants will linger long in my mind and continue to give me a good old giggle! xx
