Cat goes fishing

We are now installed at my parents' house in Northumberland for the weekend. On our arrival Daddy hazelh showed me his birthday cards for yesterday, all lined up on the dining room mantelpiece. These include a lovely découpage card creation decorated with Garfields from our TBay cousins. My favourite, however, is the fisher cat drawn by my not-so-little sister, as blipped.

We've had a lovely evening at the dining room table with my parents. Soup, lemon chicken with vegetables from the garden (grown by my not-so-little sister), and apple and bramble pie (fruit from the garden too) went down very well.

The last task of the evening is check our bedroom for bats. The last time that we slept here we were obliged to evict an unwelcome squeaking lodger...

Exercise today: none (other than 4955 steps).
