Hello, and welcome to our latest Sunday selfie from the Chumley & Hudson Investigation Team!
September has come in with a much needed change in weather. Heat waves have retreated with summer, to be replaced with cooling autumn rain and winds. Of course, such things bring their own problems. But for now, we take succour from the grass greening up and fire risks subsiding. Of course, this is just the UK, and droughts take time to reverse so far as water supplies are concerned. So Mrs H and I are praying each day for the planet to be saved, saved from the ravages of the corrupt in power people globally that cause this to be inflicted upon us, the peoples.
In other news, on a very local level, Mrs H has been suffering from a water infection that continues to lay her low. She now feels, somewhat tongue in cheek, that she is experiencing what the environment must feel like when it gets polluted. An interesting analogy for sure. And whilst antibiotics are now prescribed, it will take a lot of will power and change of habits to resolve. No tea or coffee, plenty of water, and absolutely no sherry. Rumours that this arrived from sampling her latest batch of 'cloudy cider', are unfounded, and we suspect spread by a farmer Clarksin who wants to take first prize at the upcoming Autumn Fete.
Now without further ado, here is this week's selfie. As the weather changes, so have my trips outdoors. So unlike recent weeks, and encouraged by some ongoing drizzle, I made a rare midday appearance indoors. Here I am catching an economical twenty winks. We all need to tighten our belts these days as poor crops and price rises are being felt everywhere . . .

Dear friend, and Ms ERin, we will not get all paw-litical on you, but for agreeing with your assessment of "the sadness of life on our planet in general, in so many ways" ... little furry one, our paws are together that you soon feel better, have renewed health. Mrs. H: here, our lovely drama students will return next Monday to join we seniors each week for laughter, attempts at "acting" [ha, ha!] and general goodwill between the young and young-at-heart. I've been told, via email, by the organizing teacher, that her little ones in pre-drama camp over the summer thoroughly enjoyed the generous and wonderful books you sent to them, and send thanks to you for your thoughtfulness. Today, we also thank you. Ann & JUNE, the cat who lives here, the head mistress of this home.
ReplyDeleteAhh, that is very good news indeed. Thank you for sharing the joy with them and us. I'm sure when book 2 comes out they will be ready for the next adventure...

That is a perfect selfie, Erin. We are very grateful for the cooler nights. It's supposed to go up to 30° here today, but nearer 20° most days next week. Not enough rain yet, by a long shot. We're sorry about the health related nuisances and hope the meds do their job quickly. We agree about the state of the planet and the very nasty people making really bad decisions. #1 picked some blackberries this morning but the successive heatwaves made this year's yield pretty paltry.
ReplyDeletePurrs,

ERin you look like a soft shiny black pillow in your selfie taking a nap. We're sorry that Mrs H is having a bit of trouble and hopefully it will be cured very soon. We had another extremely hot week this past week, but a bit of rainstorm blew in some pleasant cool air for this weekend.
ReplyDeleteNo sherry?! Or coffee?! Poor Mrs H. That's just terrible. We hope she will be better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou, yourself, are looking furry mewtiful and so furry glossy!
It's still hot here, though a bit cooler in the evenings now.

Darling selfie. Feel better, Mrs. H!
ReplyDeleteErin darling, look out! My mom has been without a warm soft wonderful sweet smelling luscious furred kitty for a long time it feels like and she really wants to find a kitty to snuggle. She likes how you look and your fine manners...and may get into one of my Tunnels to pop up and choose you to smooch for a few minutes! However, she only dreams she could get into MY tunnel! HA!
ReplyDeleteMommy hopes you got my comment....
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty selfie sweet Princess. I hope Mrs H feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou look so comfy. I am sorry Mrs. H is not feeling well. I hope she is better soon. XO
ReplyDeleteERin, that is a lovely selfie. Look at you, so perfect;y curled up in a beautiful ball of shiny black fur. We are purring and praying for poor Mrs. H. A water infection sounds terrible. We hope the antibiotics do their work quickly, so that tea, coffee, and sherry can be back on the menu. XO
ReplyDeleteI am so very concerned about the state of our planet. Lots of prayers daily for all of us.
ReplyDeleteI hope Ms. H feels better soon.
