A paper knife made of Portsoy marble that I bought on my first holiday to Scotland in 1964 or 65. My oldest possession.
A paper knife with a shiny black circular marble handle and silver blade is lying on a red cloth.

Sorry life is a bit rough at present. Would Betsy and Ginger cuddling in a wicker basket help?

Hoping this morning finds you all as comfy as Ginger.

A ginger cat is asleep in a wicker basket in a greenhouse. He is on his back with all four legs in the air. His head is virtually at 90°. His white-tipped tail is curving gently upwards. He has a cute little patch of white fur on his tummy.

Two ginger cats are asleep in a tray of soil in a greenhouse. Betsy’s head is on Ginger’s side. Ginger’s tail and one back leg are hanging over the edge of the tray.

Ginger’s gone skew-wiff again.
#TheGingers
A ginger cat is asleep on a very grubby outside chair. He is lying on his side, his head bent back, his front legs are in the air and his back legs up against the chair back with his tail curled over them. His canine teeth (shouldn’t they be felines?) are showing.

I live just a few kilometres from the Bethmale valley. A lovely collection of villages and great cheeses. Here are a couple of photos, they don’t show the fromageries but were taken from nearby. Not the best of photos but they are all I have on the phone.

This juxtaposition made me laugh. Are we talking about cats or plants?

Morning.
This made me laugh after our conversation about happiness the other day.

A beautiful sky to wake up to.
The top half of the photo is a pale blue sky almost covered in pale pink clouds. The bottom half is dark with the bare branches of trees pointing up to the sky.

Gordon’s alive!
Remember Gordon?
Decided to have another bash at sourdough bread, never really got it right first time round.
A pint mug is sat on a black tile worktop. It contains three days of sourdough starter with markings on the glass to show each day’s level of rye flour and water.

Betsy: if Ginger sleeps on MY sweater then I sleep on Ginger.

A ginger cat is asleep on a red sweater on a black tablecloth. His mum, also ginger, is lying across his neck.

Morning all.
Winter is back.
On the left a strawberry tree covered in snow, to the right a bush also covered. The bare branches of the trees in the background are also white. The sky is white, as is the ground apart from a green patch under the strawberry tree. There is a half-hidden bird table in the centre of the photo.

Good morning from Betsy and the cushion formerly known as Ginger.

Why, Duolingo?

The Duolingo icon has been changed to crosses at an angle for eyes and the tongue sticking out.

I am reading one of Peter May’s Enzo MacLeod novels and saw this.
I’ll try not to think of you as Smelly Mouffetard from now on.

Today’s cat on a pergola is Betsy. She was busy bird-spotting.
#TheGingers
A dark ginger cat is sat on a pergola looking intently at something in the distance. Behind her is a pale blue sky and a greenhouse roof.

Ginger says it’s a very nice morning for sitting on a pergola.
#TheGingers
A ginger cat is sat on a pergola looking rightward. One paw is overhanging the beam, the other tucked underneath him. There is a bare ash tree behind him several metres away.

Flippin’ kids!
I wish they’d take better care of their phones.
