Nothing to do with us at all

Us cats are no good at DIY - Muddle thought it would be a good idea to remove the radiators so he could wallpaper behind them but didn't realise there is water in the pipes.
So Mark came to the rescue.
I think we'll stick to sleeping, eating and chasing flies.

We give in

After hours of telling plasterers, painters, wallpaperers, builders and electricians what to do ... we did only what sensible cats and one human would do...retreat to the spare room.
We are not coming out until it is all finished.

Wallpapering

I don't understand the problem with wallpapering. It's easy. Just follow these few simple steps:
1. Cut enough lengths of paper to complete the first wall, allowing 100mm for trimming. Push a roll of paper against the corner of the wall and mark about 25mm in from the end. Hold the plumb line at ceiling height so that it passes through the pencil mark and make several more marks along the line, joining them up with the batten.
2. Phone a decorator

Decorating

We are exhausted.
We have had to boss around plumbers, decorators, gardeners, cleaners, wallpaperers and lots of other -ors and -ers.
So we are having a collective catnap but can't find Treacle.
We will have a look later because he is probably stuck behind the wallpaper.
The plumber is coming again tomorrow. Can't wait - all they want is tea and biscuits and our paws are not meant for carrying trays.
Such is the life of a feline when you have humans to deal with.

Grania

This is TaTa's friend Grania (fair of hair) with her hairdresser Roberta. Grania is a Gaelic name meaning Love or Grace. The name has inspired books (Grania;She-King of the Irish Seas by Morgan Llywelwyn) and Diarmuid and Grania by William Butler Yeats (TaTa's favorite poet) and George Moore with music by Elgar. There is an historical figure named Grania Uaile which is worth googling.

We resign...sort of

First of all we decided that it only fair we form a coalition bloggership as the BTU (Blogger Trade Union) said it was discriminatory and we used an unfair voting system.
Then after experiencing the ravages of blogging we also decided that it is not for us.
Collectively we do not have Tizit's imagination, creativity, vocabulary, intelligence and breeding to write a blog.
So instead we have decided that Muddle would be our photographer and we will sometimes make comments but nothing as clever or philosophical as Tizit.
Siamese are the wisest of cats and we miss her charm, her grace and her enthusiasm.
We are moggies not moguls.
As you can see technology and letter opening are not our greatest skills.
