Morning!

We were welcomed this morning as we came down the stairs with lots of feathers.  Andy said:

Cat Cluedo. We think it was Bitsey, in the hallway, with the teeth and claws.

We couldn't find the bird at first then Mercky appeared with it - throwing its corpse in the air and all over the place.  It seems to be Bitsy that goes out and kills stuff.  Not seen evidence of Itsy doing it and Mercky and May don't go out yet.  Bitsy started with worms - and now it is birds and mice!  She brought me a dead mouse and a dead bird to my bed one night!  Was lovely waking up to that - looked like somebody had a pillow fight with the amount of feathers around my bed!  Once she brings them in and stops playing with it - the kittens take over!

Today is supposed to be a really nice day - first in a long time - 20 degrees.  The sun is out and all I can think is: I'm not going to be able to run in this!  I have no idea how people go running in places like Florida - how do they do it!! I prefer cold and rain! I need to go early before it gets too warm and its already 9.53am. 

I need to cut the grass too - and because the garden is so big it takes me about an hour and a half, and I usually do about 10,000 steps.  I definitely need to do my run before than or I wont have the energy.

Think I will do a shorter route of about 6.7km - it involves going down a lane that says no entry - but I don't think it is private land - I think it is just so narrow that it is one way...and I need to face oncoming traffic so that is the way I need to go.  At least it is illegal for farmers to shoot trespassers, so if it is private the worst that can happen is that I'll get told off!

Can't quite believe that I managed to write all this without the cats on my keyboard...
