She's a funny cat, but aren't they all you say - she loves to have fifteen minutes on my lap watching TV but either she gets bored or too warm because before too long she jumps off and curls up either on the carpet or more likely on Jane's desk. Here we are watching the X Files on Monday evening.

It's interesting the soil at this end is not as good as the stuff I was digging on Sunday - this is some of the rubbish the builders brought in when they were short. Jane had started to dig in horse manure and compost but I need to do a lot more. Thankfully it isn't heavy clay but it is certainly heavier than the other end. I've decided to put the blueberries in here. A job for tomorrow when I get back from swimming.

It's funny how we all have silly jokes with our partners that you think nothing of until you say them to other people and draw a blank. Whenever Jane and I made a team effort that worked well we'd say "like Horace Batchelor and Zebra Kit" (turns out it was Zebra Kid but leave us with our delusions) - it was a reference to a song from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMqdwtd8TrQ" target="_blank">Bonzo Dog Doodah Band the Intro and Outro</a>. Having looked up the reference on Google it wasn't quite what Jane and I thought it was but it didn't matter, we knew what we meant. Now that "knowing" has gone, it was of a time/people combination never to be repeated.
