Cat on a hot glass roof

Just as an aside, here is what happened a few days ago. Meet Merlin, who used to live next door but has now moved to Henley because the people he keeps in his house, had to move.

Since it was a nice bright day, he decided to sun himself on our conservatory roof. Even when we tried to shift him, he just looked at us very bored and sat there enjoying himself.

We left him alone after that. When he had enjoyed himself, he just sauntered off.

Good luck, Merlin, in your new house in the new town.

My sister sent me Rakhis on Rakshabandhan day

Very early on this month, it was the festival of Rakhi. I have a little sister who lives in India and is really lovely. Her name is Meethi which means sweet and she is super sweet. Here she is doing what she does best, being sweet.

Here are all four rakhis she sent me.

Since Meethi could not come to do my rakhi, mummy tied them to me. Here she is, sitting with me.

We started with my favourite rakhi, which had Ganeshji on it. He is my best friend so I loved this one the best.

Meethi also sent me a tikka to put on my forehead and some sugar for the sweet. Here I am enjoying it.

After that, we tied all the other rakhis. Aren't they gorgeous?

Thank you Meethi Behna. I love you.

Dadima Visited Us

Earlier this month, my Dadima came to see me all the way from Exeter. It was a very long train journey. We did a lot of things that day. First of all, we went to the cinema to watch a film.

We shared some popcorn and really enjoyed the film. My favourite character was Sid.

After the film, we went to the park where there was a huge screen showing Olympic events.

Dadima and I sat down to enjoy the games for a while.

And here I am with the Olympic mascot. Isn't it ugly?

After that, we went to have pizza. We could not finish it so we took it home to have it for dinner as well. I really like pizza so that was a super day for me. Aaah pepperoni!!

We did some shopping and then we went to have a coffee and cake. I had a man to eat and drink a cold drink. Here we are enjoying together.

And suddenly it was time for Dadima to catch her train. After she left, we had to wait to get back home so we went to another park and mummy locked me inside the cage because she said I was behaving like a monkey.

I had a very very nice day. Thank you very much,Dadima, for coming over to see me from so far. Oh, did I tell you, Dadima brought me a t-shirt which was lovely but I could not wear it because it had some green colour in it. So she kindly took it back and then I got even luckier because I got two in place of one. They are both fabulous and I am saving them for some special day.

Cakes from long ago

Hi All Yesterday we were looking at some old photos and I saw that I had not shared some of my very special creation with anyone.

This is a Norwegian dessert that I made when the first strawberries came out.

Now this is another of the strawberry creation with all my produce from the garden.

Guess who baked it?????

I can assure you it was delicious!!!!!! Can you tell by looking at it?

And finally, here I am, enjoying a cake that disappeared all too soon. Do you think it tasted nice?

My swimming lesson

Today my swimming instructor taught me how to dive.








This is because I can now swim a whole length.

Pub walk

Yesterday we walked up to the pub in Cookham Dean so I could have a lunch time pint.


Then on the way back we watched the farmer harvesting some oilseed rape by the cricket ground.


I stood by this post so it couldn't hit me.


It was a really hot day.

Trip to Wendover Canal

Today Papa took me to the disused Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal.


Most of it was full of weeds.


But there was still lots to see. Like this really narrow bridge.


I took lots of pictures.


We walked 3 miles to Halton Village.


And then walked back a different way past Halton airbase. Back at the canal, we found this old sluice gate.


Papa said that if I opened it all the water would go out of the canal. I don't think so though?
