Warren (l) and Shirley (r) really do love each other, it’s so cute to see. Her permanently worried (or is it judgemental?) expression kills me.

There’s currently a feline face-off in our garden between our step cat Ozzy and a huge ginger tom - Warren is getting an education with a front row seat…

We’ve taught Warren to fetch. He absolutely loves it and is obsessed with rolled up paper balls - he drops them at out feet now when he wants to play.

I’m trying to work. This is what is currently the other side of my laptop - Shirley is being very needy and is not allowed on my work desk, so is trying to claw my make up bag off the table.

Spilled some seed earlier this morning filling up the bird feeder. It’s like a Disney cartoon out there now.

Threw away a one nil lead to come away with a draw - should have got Kelly on after half time - but still, great to be back at the Emirates, AND bumped into my dear friend Katia on the Tube home. Literally sat opposite me. Pretty impressive in a city of 9.84m people…

Don’t be fooled by this innocent face. Shirley might be tiny, but she starts all the play fights with her bro.

Gutted. Had to come home after two hours of AEW Forbidden Door, as the cramped vertiginous seats in the O2 left me yelping in pain with my spine. Took extra painkillers to no avail. Was eventually crying, so gave up and left @davidsnow.bsky.social there, so he can enjoy it at least. Rubbish.

It's International Cat Day today, and I'm really missing Norma Jeane and Arthur. They really were the most amazing cats and I miss their antics, love and cuddles so very much. I was so very lucky to adopt such incredible rescue siblings but it's so unfair their lives were so short.
