Monday 18-11-13 – "TDK" Cats with a Past Café

Good morning KJ, love the pictures and I burst out laughing at Debretts Purrage and Purronettage.

Evening, KJ, Deb and MS, I am just here for the duration of a cuppa coffee, trying to get an early night tonight too, MS. Love those handsome kitties in their beautiful old costumes. Millie got a big splodge of whipped cream tonight, she does so love it and gets it all over her, especially her little black velvet nose (but she doesn’t get it very often as it’s so bad for us both, lol).

I wish I had an apricot Danish, she said, plaintively… I may have to visit the French cafe tomorrow, for the first time in weeks…

I never know how to tie a scarf, this will help me….

Got my book, Bob no ordinary cat yesterday in the mail….haven’t cracked it open yet 🙂

There’s nothing better than having a brand new book to read that you’re really looking forward to opening, Deb, unless it’s having that book with a cuppa and a Danish beside you too… That moon sounds nice. It is warmish and wettish here today, I believe MS might have had thunderstorms…

Off to bed, nighty-night, Deb, sleep well and sweet dreams when you get home and scritches to the crew. Catch you on the flip side, everyone!

G’nite Jane, sleep well and have sweet dreams, scritches to the girls in the morning!

Was looking at the Christmas Markets in Germany, sure do miss them….
