But,
Every evening, when it isn't
A couple of weeks ago as the 'ritual' was in full swing Len put his finger to his lips and crept across the garden. I sat gawping thinking he'd lost the plot/had too much grape juice as he then put his eye to a crack in the fence. Then when he came back rocking with laughter I was truly worried - until the truth was revealed. He'd seen a flash of white moving about through the fence panel and upon investigating had only seen an eye peering at him through the crack! Hey, ho - only Misty, the shyest but most curious from a distance, of our friends' cats - sitting on the top of their compost bin and keeping one beady eye on us through the only chink in the fence!!
We've seen her doing this several times since, and trust me, it's only ever in the evening when we're sitting chatting in the garden. I've also done the 'creep up to the the fence' routine (dontcha feel an idiot!)and it's most unnerving to see one beady, unblinking eye staring back at you! I nipped round the other evening to wish them a happy holiday and to check on the final cat sitting timetable - we were already ensconced in the garden 'avec le vin' when I remembered. And sure enough, there she was - perched on the compost bin peering through the fence! I have to say she did look a tad embarrassed :))
If she wasn't a female then we'd have our very own Peeping Tom!!!
Happy Monday everyone!

You're a hoot Di! That cat is probably sitting there wondering now, how long it will take either of you to a) spot her and b) which one of you is going to come to the hole in the fence today. I think she might be having the last laugh here. Just sayin' LOL Cheers....my kind of a prelude to dinner! Sip sip horray! ;D P.S. loved your card
ReplyDeleteI have had to read your post twice before I realised it was a cat and not a nosey neighbour that was peeping through the hole in the fence :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it is first thing on a Monday morning and I've got to wake up properly yet :-)

Oh Di
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic post. I can just picture it all .. .. what a great story teller you are.
I love the sound of your little "ritual" and the thought of that nosey little cat has really made me smile!!
I wonder what she finds so fascinating!!
Have a good week Di.
Love Jules xx
p.s. Could you really not find the heart (or multiple hearts) on my first card yesterday?
Cats are SOOOOO nosey, unless you see them first, then they just happen to run!!! Love the idea of her looking through the fence...cheeky!!!
