Big Feet and Rabbit Foot Selfie!

Hello, and welcome to our latest Sunday selfie from the Chumley & Hudson Investigation Team!

September is proving to be a bit stressful. Between my annual check up visits (of which there are two a fortnight apart, Mrs H's UTI, visits to the Dr for her, opticians for her, and the car's annual check up (its leaking oil rather than water unlike some I could mention😉), it has been rather busy and expensive.

"But what else would we do with the money?," she says. Me, I'd buy more treats and catnip!

Anyway, Mr Mins has been here a lot, and he sleeps most of that time. So we have two selfies for you this week. First up is Mr Mins, showing off his frankly HUGE paws and what looks like a goatee beard style smudge on his chin.

Mr Mins is asleep on someones sofa. The sofa throw is two tone grey with white pinstripes, on top of which is a square two-tone green and white seat pad. He is partially curled up facing right, head curled inwards with chin curled upwards, which gives impression his head is actually resting on seat cushion that he lays on. His front legs and paws showing off how very large they are.

Do my feet look large in this, like a rabbit's? Mrs H saw this and said I look like Thumper! I shall exact my revenge in due course, MOL

Selfie Ecstasy with Mr Mins

Hello, and welcome to the latest Sunday selfie from the Chumley & Hudson Investigation Team!

Well, I am not sure about you all, but I am fed up of the heat. Another week of soil baking and crop wilting temps have meant that harvests have been brought forwards for fear that wild fires might consume them before the combines can get to them. There was talk of hand scything the crops to minimising the risk. This idea was quickly dismissed as, quite frankly, giving villagers lethally sharp implements so soon after the village fete judging (which left a lot of animosity) was deemed to be far too risky.

I have spent most of my days hiding anywhere other than where anyone can take a picture of me for the selfies. Mr Minstrel, however, has been only to happy to come and stay, and without fail has been taking up the guard position on the sofa in old Ned's cottage. The fact that AC unit is directly above and the food bowls below, might have something to do with this. In any event, as he didn't even bat an eyelid when asked if he minded doing the selfies, he has been volunteered.

His pose and chilled smile, bordering on ecstasy if you ask me, pretty much sums up how welcome a cool breeze is these days.

Do let us know how things are in your neck of the woods, and how you are keeping cool . . .
