Remembering Munths by Babe Cattykins

Hello Babe iz visiting yoos again – here is a picture of me nearly a year ago when I woz still quite yung.

I has been waiting for warm weather and I heared somebodee say it won’t be until Dune. So I thort I would make my own calendar so I can scratch out the dayz, but I couldn’t remember the days so I iz learning this rhyme…

Jangleberry, Marks and Maize
Thirty-one has them dayz
Augers, Jillhigh, Oxrober, Dismember
Thirty-one yoo iz now remember
Apehill, Saptemper, Newvendor, Dune
Thems have same but minus one
Odd one out is Feebleberry
Has twenty-eight but be wary
On leaping years has twenty-nine
And now we knows them all so fine.

and the seasons iz…

Winter iz Dismember, Jangleberry & Feebleberry
Spring iz Marks, Apehill & Maize
Summer iz Dune, Jillhigh & Augers
Ortum/Fall iz Saptemper, Oxrober & Newvendor

The spelling checker doesn’t seem to like wot I iz writing…

Making calendars seems like a lot of work so I thinks I will let Mum make it for me. She likes evrybodee to find plenty of things for her to to. I don’t mind being the model if she duzn’t take too long wiv the photo’ing, I can’t sit still for long.

Ghost in the night?

For the second night in a row we’ve had a stray cat in the house. He has been visiting us regularly for about a year now, I only ever catch glimpses of him in the garden, a grimy big white cat with black ears and tail.

He mews mournfully as he wanders thru the house late at night and early in the mornings. The night before last at 1am Stole joined in with warning growls on guard duty at the top of the stairs. This morning at 4:30am he must have been in my bedroom from the sound of the meows, I didn’t move, he’s scared of people, just listened to his woeful meows as he wandered off again like a ghost in the night.

This was the cat I saw on the Lane last year when I went looking for Babe. I asked him to send her home if he saw her and a day later she was back home. So now he is welcome to come in the house and help himself to the leftover food.

Is it Spring yet?

I’ve been outside today – there’s a hint of warmth in the sun. Is it Spring?

I decided it was ideal weather to walk around the lawns picking up twigs and as usual I had my little helpers. Danny Mittens and Babe Cattykins love when anyone comes outside to play with them.

I tried to get a photograph of them together but they move too quickly, I got quite a few pictures of just grass. I wish I had a video camera…

No picture of Stole – she was busy indoors sunbathing on a windowsill.
