Rojo is, or seems to be, about twice the size of when we got him, but even so he is still not very big and still a kitten. Let’s put it this way, he is still small enough that to fit in the bread bin – as I found out tonight. Which all begs the […]

Naked In The Rain
September 24th, 2008 · Comments Off on Naked In The Rain · Life
Young Rojo is in my bad books now. He has been trying the patience of the entire household for a while now, but I am ridiculously lenient with him and let him (literally) walk all over me. Tonight he came in when Chas got home, jumped on top of me, stuck his nose in my […]
Let Me Entertain You
September 14th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Life
Young Rojo continues to entertain in that relentless way that kittens do. Â The other day he turned up with some indelible black stains around the neck and on one ear. Â Either he found an oil puddle to play with or has been crawling under dirty cars.
Getting Me Down

I have been expressing my britishness this bank holiday weekend by indulging in some DIY and moaning about the weather. Just as well I was born here because according to this test I wouldn’t be let in if I wasn’t. Today was a big day for young Rojo though: we went out and bought him […]
Holidays In The Sun

Carlsberg don’t do holidays, but if they did… they wouldn’t let me anywhere near them!  The rest of the family are convinced I am jinxed when it comes to weather and holidays. They have gone off with the tent in the past, spending a few days away during school holidays while I am at work, […]
Hounds of Love
August 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Jane
Now that Skuds has got a name for his kitten (not a bad name – I hope it doesn’t get too confused about which name it is going to totally ignore….) I thought I would try to get a name for our newest family member. No rush mind since it isn’t really real and is […]
Diablo Rojo
August 3rd, 2008 · Comments Off on Diablo Rojo · Music
Diablo Rojo is a song/tune by Rodrigo y Gabriela. Its a frantic piece for two acoustic guitars, with percussive effects on the guitar too, inspired by a rollercoaster ride of the same name which translates to Red Devil in English, as if anyone needed help with the translation. As luck would have it, Jayne agreed […]
What’s My Name Again?
August 2nd, 2008 · 3 Comments · Life
Meet Spike. The pressure got too much. Every time I got home from work the family would crowd round and ask if I had picked a name for the cat yet, only to slump back in disappointment when I had to admit that, no I had not made up my mind yet. Let’s be honest, […]
Cool For Cats
July 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments · Life
Watching the kitten with no name I find myself really wishing I was a kitten. It must be great: everything is exciting, everything is new and everything is an excuse to play. Young whatsisname alternates between totally carefree frolicking and contented napping. What a life. I think that is what I will do when I […]

This House Is A Circus
July 29th, 2008 · 12 Comments · Life
When I got a text message from the Mrs. this afternoon that said “do you want a kitten?” I knew that it didn’t really matter what answer I gave because by the time I got home there would be an extra mouth to feed. Not that I mind. I like kittens. My only real worry […]
