Cat and Mouse

I spent today watching DVDs with Fred who has had food poisoning all weekend. Whisky stayed with us, sleeping most of the time. He alerted us to an onlooker when he opened his eyes and stared with alarm towards the window. Looking up, we saw our neighbour trimming the top of the hedge. He wasn't looking at us, but he had a good, close view into our bedroom. He must have thought we were completely slovenly seeing as we were watching DVDs in bed. Unfortunately we have no curtains since no one can usually look (unless they have a ladder) and we won't be putting any up until the room is plastered and decorated. So, we quickly decamped with the duvet and DVD to the front room where we felt less watched. I then felt guilty about the state of the hedge and went out to attack it from my garden's side.

I made a wonderful cranberry cake. I realise it's cruel baking cakes when Fred has food poisoning, but he did manage to eat a bit and still found it tasty.
