Ready to pounce!

Here is the young whippersnapper, Monty, lying in wait, ready to pounce on and startle Pookie as she passes on her way upstairs. What a scoundrel he is, but all he really wants to do is play. Mature, sophisticated Pookie seldom rises to the challenge, and is more likely to put Monty in his place with a hiss or a snarl, or even more frustrating, by totally ignoring him.

It is trying but failing to snow here, which is just as well because I'm off out to spend the evening with friends Anne and Drummond, shortbread freshly baked to take with me. There will be games of pool, nosh and Upwords. We are creatures of habit.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
