Nigella …

Well, it’s good having Uncle Wayne here but he’s keeping me so busy I haven’t had a chance to dictate any blogs to Kaz, so here are some pics of me to tide everyone over until we get back to writing more words.

Well Kaz, you’ve got some explaining to do.  What are all these other photos of cats doing on your phone?  And Sooz, you’re not out of trouble either. We’re not talking about a couple of photos here either – there are hundreds of them and more come through every day! And we’re not just talking about pictures of Mimi (former Archnemesis; now friend) here, these are all different cats; and, except for the ones wearing their Halloween costumes, not one of them has any clothes on! The good news is that some of them have bottoms way bigger than mine. 
So, how long is this going to go on for? More importantly – how long has it been going on? I would have thought Kaz takes more than enough photographs of me that neither of the Mummies would need to go looking elsewhere for cat pics.  What’s that? They just arrive on your FaceBook feeds … like those ads for caravans on Kaz’s, and the Tourettes videos Sooz?
I am very happy tonight. Kaz just received a text from Uncle Wayne saying “Is Nigy, up for a visitor tomorrow?”  Am I?  Am I?  The answer is YES, Nigy is up for a visitor tomorrow. Hopefully it’s Uncle Wayne!

Have I mentioned how grateful I am that Kaz types up my blog posts for me? I would be even more grateful if she’d get my claws manicured (read: cut back) so I could do it myself! She’s so slow sometimes it’s all I can do to stay awake. 🙂

I wonder what they’re up to.  Most mornings those Mummies have their alarms sound just after sun rise, they get up (surprising I know) and then they go off somewhere in the car. They often come back smelling of coffee … and Pelicans!  Can you believe that?  I think they’re going off to the Broadwater to have a walk and a coffee or maybe just a coffee … or they could be going somewhere else completely … you never can tell with those two. 

This morning when they came back they were talking about having seen a dolphin … and then, later in the day, they were saying they were sorry they hadn’t seen the snake other folk saw.  The Council closed the Ian Dipple Lagoon (that’s where they went today … also known as Charis Seafoods or Pelicanos) this afternoon so they could remove the sea snakes. Kaz didn’t say how many there were.

I think Uncle Wayne is coming back later this week … that would be good because I’m not sure Kaz has really learned how to cook scones yet.  She could do with another lesson (or two).  I’m not sure I’m going to be able to give up my bed for him this time … I have become quite accustomed to being in there, taking up as much room as I can on our bed, and even though I love him lots, it has taken this long for the “boy germs” to vacate the room.

And yes, Sooz, you are right “I am adorable; a lovely little cat” even though I have been galloping up and down the hall at all times of the day and night lately … and not just because I have been a-feared of the big storms we’ve been having.

I was able to help Sooz with the cooking tonight … she was having steak. That will make a nice change from the chicken she and I had for lunch today … no, don’t be silly, it wasn’t a WHOLE chicken!
