Just a little jam and cream, yum

Oh dear, Caz took me to meet some of her web developer chums this morning. They like to drink tea and eat cake at a local café. Of course, I had to help out with the Cream Tea – it would have been rude not to!

These waggon wheels are a bit tough!

After lots of meetings today, Caz took me and Leo on a little tupperware hunt in Tollesbury this evening, before we met up with some friends for a photowalk. We had to go through a farmyard, and we found these waggon wheels sitting by a fence. I thought waggon wheels were some sort of yummy choccy bikkie type thing? I think there’s something wrong with these – they are pretty tough!

Hmmmm lovely cookies

I went to see Caz judge some photographs this evening and we got home quite late. I was a bit peckish and because I had been good Caz let me have some milk and cookies before I went to bed. Yum.

What is that funny smell?

It was another day where Caz was very busy today, and she only nipped out for some shopping this evening. She was going to take me along too but it was raining, so I decided to stay at home. I found there was a funny smell coming from somewhere and eventually I tracked it down to this bowl of dried stuff. Apparently it’s called Pot Pourri but I’m not sure what that means. Apparently, you can’t eat it, which was a bit disappointing. Still, it made the house smell nice. I must be careful not to set it on fire if I sneeze by accident!

These drumsticks are heavy!

Today we went with Caz to see lots of people pretending to be other people at a big battle re-enactment. This drum belongs to a friend who is from the English Civil War. It must mean that she is really old. Leo and me had fun playing the drum even though the sticks are very heavy.

Soon it will be fresh and minty

After all that curry yesterday, I woke up this morning with a bad case of Dragon Breath. Oooops. Caz suggested I give my teeth a good brush and soon it was tasting fresh and minty!

I am an expert stirrer

Today I was very good and helped Caz cook a lovely curry for our dinner. She said I was a good stirrer (I can’t imagine what she meant by that!) so I got the job of wielding the big wooden spoon.

Where are we going?

It turned out to be rather wet and horrid by the end of the day – and we had all hoped to go out on a little walk when Caz had finished work. Instead, she told us about our holiday in September, when she is going to take me and Leo to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. So we got the maps out and had a good look at the places we will visit. Leo was being very optimistic wearing his shades, he is a silly lion sometimes!

I found a quiet spot to sit

I went out with Caz again today as she had a meeting at lunchtime in a local College. They have very nice gardens there, so I spent the time wandering around looking at the plants and things. I found this lovely pond and thought I would sit on a lilypad and wait for Froggy to turn up for a chat, but I think he was probably busy elsewhere doing froggy business. Never mind, it was a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.

These are lovely shapes

I was a bit bored at home today, so I went in search of pretty purple things around the house. Look what I found! These are amethyst crystals I found in Caz’s rock collection. They are rather nice, and go with my colouring very well.

What a pretty colour

Caz was very busy at work today, so I was very good and kept out of her way during the day. In the evening, when it was nice and cool, she took me on a little walk in the fields nearby.

We saw lots of wheat which is looking ready for harvest – I’m looking forward to eating more Weetabix soon! We also saw these pretty poppies which seem to grow at the edge of the fields, so I thought I would have my picture taken with the flowers.

Time to chill in the garden

It was very hot again today, so Leo and me decided to chill at home. We have had some very busy weekends recently, and although we had a great time, it is also nice to spend some time just relaxing.

We sat in the garden and cooked some lovely bangers and eggs on the barbeque – at least, I hope Leo is keeping an eye on them from behind his silly sunglasses – there’s nothing worse than burnt saussies!

It is very shiny

Today we had fun at the local village fête – there were stalls with candyfloss, ice cream and arty-crafty things for sale. And we saw a dog display team from Wales and a big marching band who palyed lots of nice tunes as they walked up and down. But my favourite was the big red fire engine which was on display and you could go and play with it.

At first, I was a bit nervous as I thought the firemen would want to put out my fire, but I had a chat with them and they were very friendly. They realised that I was another professional who deals with fire every day, and thought I was more than capable of keeping it under control. Here you can see me sitting on the front bumper of their enormous tender.

These are a bit long

Caz was very busy today and we didn’t go out until late in the evening, to get some yummy Chinese food. I got to have a portion of my own. But I really think I need to find some dragon-sized chopsticks!
