Flood

It has flooded again

I like it here

I dont know why but the cat likes to sit in the wet sink? I wander if other cats do this?

Animals of the bath

Found a ark worth of beasts migrating along my bath this morning. I dont know why or where but its nice to see such harmony in nature

Straight from the source

Our strange cat refuses to drink stagnant water in 2 bowl. Oh no its far to common for bernard instead his lordship must have fresh running water. He also points to his food when he wants some and knocks on the door when he wants to come in after hes played out with his catty friends.

Happy birthday

Boy is 8 today! Makes me feel old. Here is the great cake.

Advent Grotto

Its been the York Steiner School advent farye today.  Which was the usual enjoyable chaos and bedlum.  The best bit is always the advent grotto, which is a normal room transformed into a cave of delights.  The floor is strewn with leaves, fake snow, snow fakes, leaves, trees, elves, christmas scenes, nativity stuff, gnomie gardens, gnomie caves, glittering lights, sparkling snow drops, gems, gold, silver, frankincense, mir and a thousand of other treasures.

It all reminds me a bit of stepping through the wardrobe in "the lion the witch an

d the wardrobe" or opening the box of delights (as in the "box of delghts" a great 80s kids series which was pure magic when I was a lad).  There was no fawn or snow witch but there was a softly spoken guide to highlight the points of interest.  Good fun almost as good fun as "punch drunk" at the Big Chill festival 2004, that was pure magic too (street theatre come willy wonkas chocolate factory in one).

The bees

Well not quite cos me camera is not that good. So its just chris watching the bees.
