On Tuesday there was a woman on the bus with a cat in a carrier. Today she was back, with another cat in the carrier, and in a bed in a wire box a queen and four tiny wee kittens. They were three weeks old or so, with their eyes just open, and they kept trying to swim up the sides of their bed. Their claws were still unretracted and they had those paddle-shaped feet that very young kittens have. They were simply adorable.

We took our cats for a walk (we wanted to see the bluebells in the fort down the road), and a family passed us on bicycles and Smudge (see icon) hid in the hedge for ten minutes. I was also out on my fungicidal mission again. It seems to be well mixed into the flowerbed.

Oh, and the Home Office is cracking down on illegal immigrants—the ones that were working as cleaners in the Home Office that is. You couldn't make this up. They should come to us to see our pile of rejected applications for medical cards. Reason for coming to UK: higher standard of living. Sorry, no visa, no medical card.

I think that might just be the cutest icon ever.

I think it's the way Smudge has his head tipped over to peer at the camera.

My kits are purring back.
