Cupboards and shelves

The sun has shone on a windy day and She spent the day with the builders, painting walls while they stuck bits of wood to the walls, cat beds all, long ones and high ones and ones with doors. When they had all gone we inspected their work. All coming along nicely.

Builders and toys for cats

Pixie decides that despite the noise builders are good. They have put up a climbing frame for all the cats....

which is good for sitting on and looking for mice....

and scratching.
They have also made a hole in her roof.

If I sit on it.....

...they can't move it. Not for a while anyway. It is warm over the fire. All other cats have taken to Hannah's bed so that it looks as if it has a quilt made of cats covering it. At 4.30 they go, the noisy ones, and we all come out and go check on what has been going on. Today we are told they will make a hole in the roof so we will get nearer to the little people of the air.

Best not to frighten the builders.

Jackie: Hi Pixie. Was just checking my emails before the builders come.
Pixie: They're not coming again are they? They have made a lovely hole in the ceiling. What else is there for them to do? They are so noisy.
Jackie: They are going to be here for a while, sweet ginger.
Pixie: Oh.

Jackie: Anyway, sweet thing, how are you feeling?
Pixie: Good, thank you, but all the dust makes me sneeze. Will they be here for more than a week?
Jackie: For a few moons. But at the end of their time here there will be a new fire, and a new mantle shelf for cats to sit upon, and a new game for cats to play called ' climb on the roof and in through the windows, when She's not looking, creep into Her studio and hide'.
Pixie: Sounds good. And will there be mice?
Jackie: Shush now, here they come again. Don't want them to think we are talking about them and best not to let on that you can speak either. Might frighten them.
Pixie: Nadolig was here earlier. Go and see if Mr G is ok.
