We put the pens up here to get them out the way of Leo who loves to nibble the ends. But alas, there is no mountain that cannot be climbed, no dresser that shall not be mounted to reach the sacred pens of loveliness. 😄

Oh Buzz. You really are the best snuggler. Anytime, any place, anywhere.

The Cat Whisperer

I want to tell you about something sweet and beautiful that Simon did yesterday. Little Cookie cat had been in the hot conservatory for a long time snoozling. Then she was outside by the hot tub steps and he just knew she was looking for a puddle of water to drink from. So he brought water to her. A big bowl of fresh spring water and she lapped it up for ages. This level of observation, thought, kindness and care is just so beautiful. You are wonderful Simon 😄 I love you ❤️ Thank you for being you 🌟

One wiggly ribbon, three cats in position ready to pounce. Quite like breakdancers who give one another room to show off their skills, each kitty has their moment against the ribbon of desire. Buzz jumps high. So high that I shriek with delight and fall into giggles as he surprises himself on landing. Leo pounces with paws open wide, so fast and low he’s always too quick for me. He flies through the air like something possessed striking again and again at supersonic speed. And Cookie, well she takes it easy. The ribbon of desire may or may not get swatted as it passes slowly in front of her. She’ll get back to you on that one after she’s taken an eight hour nap. They all have their free styles and it’s fun to watch. I love them dearly and will miss them very much (except for the rabbit episode - I won’t miss that one little bit 😬).

Buzz can jump high, so high that I shriek with delight and giggles at his moves. Leo pounces with claws open, so fast and low he’s almost always too quick for me.

Day 18. Found some amazing, chilled out intricate trance tonight. Full of subtle twists and turns and cuteness. Most powerful track was A Deeper a Truth by Sygma and Myon featuring Anne Hathaway talking about beautifully empowering topics. So special. Thank you. Check out Tales From Another World on Spotify. Yum. So I had a fab dance along with smooth moves according to Simon 😄 Life feels peaceful. On the move this week up to the North Lands. Packing begins tomorrow! All of a sudden I’m moving my whole life to t’other end of the country for a week with no cats!! Just think, no boy cats spraying on our belongings. Amazing.

Here’s some afternoon birdsong and a cat on a fence and some clouds 😄

Cookie looking Badass. Though in reality she’s the sweetest ball of fur you ever could meet.

Day 17. Some tunes make me wanna dance and shake it out so bad 😊 I found myself ploughing through the dance despite some pain. Giuseppe Ottaviani ASOT900 absolutely rules. Soundbar, Colours and Follow the White Rabbit were the tunes. So grateful for all this creative work 🌺🙏🌺

I love this little pot. It has kept a few secrets for me over the years and is probably my oldest possession in my downsized life, at around ten years old. I bought it on my birthday in Mornington Crescent. It was the best thing that happened on that day 😊

Happy families. I love it when they all get on 😄

Growing up I didn’t have any siblings at home with me. My cats were my friends and family. I spent a lot of time with them. After a long break in my twenties and thirties, I feel amazing to have reconnected with furry feline energy. Their eyes make me want to dive into them.

Day 16. Early morning dance mixed with stretches and rest. Tears fell, fears got quelled, hugs and smiles arose. When you hold something in, there’s such a relief that comes in saying it. And love is still there. What Lies Between The Stars - Astrosphere was the song 🌟

An object of intrigue for the cats as it hangs on the wall. They’ve all had a moment with this snowflake. Transfixed by its shimmer perhaps.

Day 15. Smooth ride. Cookie cat was obsessed with my arm movements as I imaginary glowsticked around 😄 Best tracks were Light Rider - Thomas Datt and Estiva - Raket. Both are deeply awesome songs. Songs to journey into and get lost in. Songs to make you get up and move your ass.

Spring has sprung on my blog thanks to Simon’s adventures into an early spring wood.

It’s interesting being in other people’s houses with their memories and trinkets. So many trinkets. I see the wife who’s no longer here. She made a home then passed on leaving her husband with all that she created. I see care, love, pain, growth, tears and smiles and relief.

Have some colourful droplets.

Practising a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers song. I loved this musical as a kid. Lots of colour and energy.

Day 14. I did something different today. I had things to do in town so I took my dance moves to the streets and raved as I walked. Hands were held high with Carte Blanche pumping out. I didn’t even get arrested (again). Bonus.

Day 14. This was me this morning. I had my hands in lots of pies. Elephant riding, ribbon twirling, sparkly hat wearing girl. Being still and also moving. Dancing got done. Cats got stroked. Relinquish by Greenhaven DJs was the song. Cosmic Gate WYM 002 😄 the set. Keep loving 🥰

I feel fancy when I go to The Ivy in Tunbridge Wells. Such a welcoming place with a Parisian feel. It’s chique and vibrant. An occasional treat. We all deserve treats. I met my new friend Lorna there today. I don’t meet many people as travelling means I’m never anywhere for long enough. It’s always special when I make friends now. A sweet sparky jewel to enjoy and spend time with. It’s so easy when you’re a kid. Wherever you are you’d ask ‘can I make friends with you?’. And boom, you’re friends hanging out together for as long as you can. Now being older, it feels like there are more social constraints. You don’t just go up to someone and start playing with them 🤣There are past traumas and knock backs and a social etiquette which comes from being an adult. Being a kid brings a lightness of spirit. It’s easy, you just start playing with the person you like. In a child’s world there’s down to earth honesty and openness. Things are simpler. There’s no baggage. It’s all positive and in the moment. I want to be able to meet someone for the first time and say ‘I like you, let’s be friends’. It’s a beautiful thing.

Day 13. Cosmic Gate - Wake Your Mind session. Oh wow, what a journey of sound. So so beautiful and deep. Fav song was called Reason by Patrick White. I felt like I was in another world flying through the musical ether. Body feels fit and fine 😄

I was trying to do a constructive rest. Buzz changed that completely. All I did was lie down and he was on me in a flash. So I had a constructive cat rest instead. Got some shots of him with the harp too. My shoes have a special message on them 🥰 Can you see?
