Today - 26th December, is also known as Boxing Day here in the UK as well as many Commonwealth countries. For those who are unfamiliar - it developed from the days when servants and tradesfolk would receive gifts or money from their employers and has now become part of the festive break and a bank holiday.
******************************************
Last weekend while when we out for a bit of a potter. The weather had been a little inclement and during a brief respite we took the opportunity for a breath of blustery air. As usual I took my camera.
Our walk took us alongside a neighbouring village cemetery. Eldest was a few paces ahead when he stopped and pointed out the date on this stone..... 26th December 1870.

Only 5 more days until the completion of the year.
Just a quick in-fur-message 'sponsored' by Pepper.
Dear Humans,
At this time purr-leese remember that boxes are for life and not just from chrimbly.
A cat's life is made compurr-lete by the addition of a box in their life. We can hide inside it and pounce when compurr-dre cats walk unsuspectingly by.
We can curl up and sleep and dream or scheme naughty cat plans, so dear humans - do not be so tidy, please remember that a box is for life and not just for chrimbly time.
yours in purrs and fur
Pepper xx

Hello & Merry Christmas!! It's unbelievable and funny: I was a cnstant reader of your blog "11 am" and sorry when it was discontinued. Popped back every now and then and found no continuation. Buuuut..... somehow I must have overlooked the link to this new blog! It's not only funny, it's nearly embarrassing that it took me 2 years to find that out :o). Good that you wrote that post on November, 16 ;-). Now I'm happy to be here and looking forward to follow your lovely blog :-). About cats and boxes you're totally right. I always have a box laying around for my cat, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! Nata xxx
Hello Pepper! I agree about your need for boxes. I have plenty here if you are running out of them. Just send one of your servants across to get one.
