Indian Summer

Well, we are really enjoying an Indian summer here in Limousin.  Today it is due to be 27 degrees C, and I'm still trolling around in my old shorts - my usual jeans are FAR too hot to wear.

I'm typing this on my new-to-me computer as my old faithful keeled over finally about 6 weeks ago hence the lack of blogs.  Dear OH was working away so unable to do any repair, but on his return, poor old 'pooter was retired.

Managed to source everything from UK and had it delivered down here by the lorry that brings ex-pats shopping from England - Marmite, HP sauce etc.  Sounds daft, buying a computer from UK, but I just cannot use a French keyboard - I was taught to touch-type when I was 16 and it just HAS to be a QWERTY keyboard not an ASERTY.  Touch-typing to me is as natural as breathing - and the French keyboard is like breathing wearing a gas mask!

Anyway, expect lots more blogs now...in the meantime, here is a photo of FatBoyFat aka Felix waving his legs in the air, chilling out on the rug under the kitchen table.

What was even funnier, is that he was snoring all the time - and I was trying to vacuum the rug around him

Here is another recent piccie - a rather large chicken egg that must have caused her eyes to water - it weighs 104 grams and OH had it gently steamed (he's on a diet) for his lunch.

(sorry, it's a bit blurred)


Have a good weekend!   

Felix shaking a leg

This is Felix, aka FatBoyFat, in the snow.  He has a rather odd way of walking in that he shakes the snow off each paw in turn - takes him ages to cross the garden...

 

FatBoyFat aka Felix

I thought I would show you why I don't get as much work done as I should - our cat Felix, otherwise known as FatBoyFat - for obvious reasons - he is SO fat!

It doesn't matter whatever I am doing, he will insist on hanging around, sometimes just sleeping, sometimes just being a pest...the disembodied head is just Felix asleep on my monitor.

 

This is Felix in his favourite place - keeping an eye on me working at the computer

But the bathroom hand-basin is just as good a place as any other...

  

One minute after this, he fell in.

 Soaked through, he likes to be dried with a warm towel

 

Sitting in the rain, under cover of the bird table

 

He has taken over the dog's bed - of course!

 

and my office chair.

so you see, it's a wonder I get any work done at all - I can't resist taking photos - a great time waster!
