How Cute are these kittens?

Took this picture this morning of three of the kittens with my mobile - I'm really chuffed with it!

Something else that I'm chuffed about - I've lost 2 kilos this week!

Jigsaw the trumpet-playing cat!

Minutes after arriving home from work I got my trumpet out of its case (not something I usually do, but one of my private pupils were coming!) and I found Jigsaw (now 9 weeks old - going to his new home in a couple of weeks time) having a go at trying to blow a few notes. He didn't make a sound, but he looked great trying to do it! I was so glad that I had my phone in my pocket at the time to capture the moment!

After teaching I decided it was about time I mowed the lawn. I knew it was about time as I discovered that my neighbours had strimmed my front lawn while I was at work. I took the subtle hint....

No-one can be that interested in a picture of an unkempt lawn. Nor can you really be that bothered about a tidy one, but a lawn with a centre parting??? Now there's a photo opportunity!

Some kitten pics

Some pictures of our kittens - no doubt there will be more.

I like to name my pets after trumpet players, call it a Bailey quirk if you like. I used to have a fish called Marsalis, and I think Dizzy (after Dizzy Gillespie of course) is a brilliant unisex name for cat! Dizzy had her first litter of kittens over the Easter weekend.

Kittens names: Cat (another cool name!) is named after Cat Anderson, Bix, of course, after Bix Beiderbecke. Jigsaw, however, is so-called because he has a jigsaw-piece shape on his back. All of them are ginger and white, but Biz is almost totally ginger. It must be in the genes...

This is Cat. I caught him sat on my baroque trumpet and quickly took this snap of him. I guess it serves me right for leaving it on my bed!

Feeding time at Dizzy's Milk Bar for Cat, Bix and Jigsaw - (in that order, starting at the bottom).

Bix coming up for air!
