Stripes, spots, pots and surveys!

Bloggie pals! Finally, I got my potted plants to bloom again! If you remember, this was one task I set myself to do a couple of months back! 

Et voila!

Gumtree says: I show off my stripes!

Charlie says: I show off my spot!

And lastly, today (6th May)  is the first ever National Cat Watch Day! 

This survey asks cat owners to observe their chosen cat and complete a questionnaire.  The aim is to understand how cats "use their home and garden and to spot where improvements can be made to their world." Details, here.

Have a great week, y'all!

A bird and some stationery

So there I was suffering from writer's block when this happened!

A little chaffinch came hopping across the outside windowsill looking in! 

Charlie says: I stay on the wrong windowsill!

After some April showers, the sun came out, the cats frolicked and I started my long delayed plant potting up project!

Hope Spring has truly sprung where ever you are!

Have a great week y'all! 

Bonkers basking baking

As I bake blueberry muffins (they taste better than they look! LOL!)
