Buddy

When we got back from Prague at the beginning of September, we officially adopted Buddy. Sadly his owner has had to go and live with her daughter and couldn't take him with her. We've know him for years and when I was working, he always came for breakfast at 5am. He was still a regular visitor on our visits back to Southampton and we knew he visited several other houses. We bought him down to Sopley and he seems to have settled in very well. We were surprised at how he coped with being kept in for nearly two weeks but last Wednesday he went out for the first time. He had a good wander round the back garden. He enjoyed investigating the wood shed in particular. This is his favourite spot at the moment

So far he's caught two mice (that we know about) and just watches the birds but we've moved the bird table just in case. He does like laying in the sun

He spends most evenings stretched out on my lap. He prefers mine to OH's because it's bigger

The only thing I'm not too keen on is the wake up call in the morning

So this is partly why I've not been creative recently athough I think I left my mojo in Prague.
