Christmas Hobbies

3 Replies

Every Christmas I buy a puzzle (1000 pieces usually) for Daisy to work on and hopefully complete.

Sometimes she has help.

Accompanied by good advice.

And bad singing!

There is a lot of involvement from every angle.

Aww, Monster loves his Daisy.

They are truly the jigsaw puzzle team.

Until it all went a bit wrong.  Monster was quickly removed when we discovered him thinking that the box of pieces could be a possible cat litter tray.

Absolutely no, Monster!  That would be a terrible Christmas surprise to find.

Meanwhile, in my shed, I am constructing my latest Lego model – a “Tuxedo” cat.  An excellent Christmas present from OH.

A cup of tea, a good play on the radio, and a Lego project is my idea of heaven (as well as my secret supply of Tunnock’).

I have a few.  Christmas bliss.

Monster on a Mission

5 Replies

Monster doesn’t usually come out with me on the breakfast round mostly because it is too early and only essential personnel go outside but today he was there, following me wherever I went, mostly shouting.

(apologies for bad picture quality, but I had a chuckle when I saw Monster with the sheep who were all waiting for their breakfast).

The weather was pretty mild so that might’ve been one reason he was out and about.

I never felt alone.

Not once.

Even when I took my three buckets over to the old horses and ponies’ field, Monster came too.  Pepper went off a-hunting and I didn’t see her for a while.

You can just see Monster (the white dot) on the old track walking and singing his way to Ted.  At this stage, Ted was trying to disown him.

Obviously Monster needed a sleep to recover from all that activity.

And luckily he has still managed to eat the requisite meals for the day.  Phew!  I do worry.

Because nothing stops Monster on a mission.  We are all his servants really.
