Cornflowers & Poppy

The field near the house has offered up its first wild poppies and cornflowers and I just love them both.

An exciting day here.  I was on the phone from 8 this morning until 3 this afternoon - that's a lot of talking.  Although there was a 10 minute break in the middle of a meeting this morning for a reason I've never used before.

I was sitting at my desk when I became aware of Nisha in the corner of my office.  She was miaowing away and what I thought was scratching at cables.  I went over to have a look and discovered she had caught her first mouse.

So I excused myself from the meeting because I had to rescue said mouse.

So - furniture pulled out the way, small cat locked away in the bathroom and 2 minutes later was the unhurt mouse in a box.  I took it away and let it go in the same field as the poppies and cornflowers.

Came back and Nisha was totally outraged that her mouse had disappeared.  She sat in the corner of my office and howled.  I had to shut her out so I could get back to my meeting.  She went upstairs and complained to G that her mouse was gone...

It's one way to get some cat treats.
