What does one do when unable to travel to work and forced to take a precious day’s leave because all trains to London have been cancelled due to “overhead wire problems?”
Bake cookies!
Thank you lovely Martine of Silencing the Bell for Beths’ Famous Oaty Cookies recipe.
The cookies were so easy to do and so so so so so yummy!
Thank you National Express East Anglia train company (not).
Charlie says: Now I sit on your glasses and look even more gigantic.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Oatmeal cookies for a RR Holiday. Fair trade, if you ask me.
Hey Charlie looks pretty snazzy with that collar he's wearing. It looks like stones. Rare precious stones. Or do my eyes deceive me.

A nice day off was a bonus but those cookies.....now that is pure bliss. They look yummy!
OH Charlie
We think you look positively glowing, did you like the smells from those baking cookies.

Sounds like an idyllic day! I do wonder how many of the yummy-looking cookies on that plate are left now?!
It occurs to me that Charlie's markings make him look as if he has two pairs of eyes! Perhaps even more so when they are open?!

gotta love it when the trains are cancelled... ;)
Charlie is looking so cute. Always with his eyes shut.
And those cookies look wonderful!
"Anybody see my glasses???" hahahahah!
Share the cookies? Maybe?
Mmmmmmm ...... cookies! I'll take two, please.
Trains not working in London? What? Now that takes the biscuit!
Oh oh! I hope you job would compensate in some way when it is beyond your control that you can't get into work ... but that happened to my daughter when the snowstorms last winter stopped the trains here. She was forced to take a vacation day.
The cookies look wonderful! I am trying to avoid sweets to lose a few pounds...very, very hard to do!
A perfect way to spend a day! Baking delicious cookies! Charlie looks chuffed too!
Hey Charlie, you should put those glasses on top of your head between your ears instead of sitting on it. :)
Biscuits look really yummy.
Haha! I had to laugh at you thanking the train company and then the (not)! Gotta love Charlie, such a beautiful cat. Those cookies look mighty scrumptious, by the way!
I loves cookies. I did also love 'reasons' for not going in to work. Well, actually, that was when I was NOT on a time card.
And I loves that 'tall' statue.
Seems like a logical progression to me? No train = cookies. Brilliant!
Hi Old Kitty .. certainly take the opportunity to do something uplifting bake cookies, eat cookies, read book, then drink wine .. then overhead lines forgotten about - oh! and most importantly cuddle Charlie .. cheers enjoy the weekend .. Hilary
I think we all have "overhead wire problem" days don't we? Lovely cookies!
You see - every cloud has a silver lining. Even trains.
Hope you did some writing between baking and eating cookies!
Does overhead wire problems mean every train driver wants a day off?
If this happens in the middle of the Olympics it will be really useful for causing chaos on the roads! You shouldn't have to lose a days holiday for something you can't do anything about - it's not fair although those cookies look very very scrummy. Charlie you look angelic today - is it cos your mum is home and watching you?

Cookies! YUM! Sounds like a great solution when trains aren't functioning. I love cookies.
Oh what a good idea to bake cookies. And wow, they do look good.
Charlie, we love your two black spots on either side of your head. Aren't you glad Mom got a surprise day off. What fun. Take care.
"Overhead wire problems" is an excuse I've never heard of but it sounds logical.
Look at the bright side -- you got paid to stay home & bake cookies!
Charlie's having a growth spurt? :)
Have some cookies Charlie, they're ready! Happy Weekend everyone!!!
I hope the trains are up and running again soon! Though the cookies look great. :D
Have a great weekend!
Hi Kitty, so glad you enjoyed them, i'm thinking of starting a oaty honey cookies fan page on Facebook:-)
much love
martine
I'd like to be forced to stay home from work and bake cookies and dress up kitty. :)
Sounds like a great idea to me! Yum!
Oh, man, those cookies look amazing. Trains closed--that has to put a damper on Londaon. I'm glad you had a lovely, impromptu day off!
Good for you. Sometimes the Universe thinks you need a day of whether you do or not.
Charlie looked like he was meditating.
Charlie is so freaking charming. How does he come up with all those wise saying?
Mmmm, those look nummy! Can you send some to me, please? ;)

Charlie you have very big paws! Those cookies look yummy...
when I first saw this photo I thought they were "Snickerdoodles" which I ADORE! I think these look equally delicious!
xooxxoxo
Those cookies look delicious!! YUM! YUM!
A day off is always nice, IMO. But I don't like the sound of overhead wire problems!
But your wires are tight, my friend. Your astute comment on my beginning chapter of my friend's story is right on. I'm glad you spoke up. That's what I needed. The Robert Kennedy thing bothered me too. As you said, I did use it for the date, but I don't really think that matters, now that you mention it. So thanks to you I'm taking it out!! Have a great Sunday, says Jen, and me.

I loves oatymeal cookies..and so does my mommy. You look furry handsome Charlie. I may swon...
Too bad about taking a personal day-bonus up a day to stay home and make cookies. Charlie is quite dashing with his collar.
Those cookies look sooooo good.
Look at Charlie, so regal even when sleeping. What's all that stuff on his throne?
*steals cookies through cyberspace*
Charlie looks uncommonly peaceful and serene in that picture. He must be plotting something.
Cookies look great.. Hope you had a good weekend.. Hugs GJ xx
OMGoodness, I hope they have everything fixed. (I'm coming over next week and planning a train trip into London.) Hopefully the problem will be resolved so you can get to work on Monday....
I love those cookies! And of course, you know your kitty is adorable.
