Introducing Tykes!

Thought I'd introduce you to one of the family ( a colleague of mine used to say "cats are people too").

He's a total moggie - no pedigrees of any sort in this household! He has a couple of years on Miss Muffett so is getting on some. He really doesn't get as much attention as he should these days but he seems to have taken on board the acquisition of a husband and two children quite well. Having said that he does get rather too much attention from Nipper at times!

I'm pretty much down the pecking order in his life though. He only comes to me when he wants to be fed. He loves sneaking upstairs and hiding under Miss Muffett's desk but his absolute favourite place is snuggling up with Mr Earplugs. Me too!



Edited to add: This is my 'Air Your Archives' post for 21st November 2010 - subject 'a post you'd like to have more comments on'. I chose this post as I wrote it when I first started blogging and so it didn't get any comments at all.  Tykes is an old moggie (16) and has been a bit of a poorly puss recently and no longer looks quite as perky as in this photo!

To blog or not to blog........

that is indeed the question!

Blogging is very new to me and I only discovered it within the last year or so. I was listening to the radio in a half-hearted sort of manner - the way you do when you're loading the laundry or washing-up - and I heard an interview with Jane Brocket, author of 'The Gentle Art of Domesticity' and of course the wonderful http://www.yarnstorm.blogs.com/ I figured I had to check out her blog and get my hands on a copy of her book. Father Christmas was very good to me that year and that's where it all began for me!

I can't say I'm the most avid blog reader. I usually 'pop-in' to my favourite few when I have an odd spare moment. But each time I visit it sets my mind racing on what I've read and I often find myself chatting away to no-one in particular (the kids think I'm mad) with all the things that I'd put in my blog, if only I had one. So for the sake of my sanity, and to get some rest from all that 'chatting', I've decided to finally blog! I'm not sure if any of it will be of interest to anyone other than myself, but since there are thousands of other bloggers out there no one need get bored by me!

If you happen across me then please say hello!
