I played football in the kitchen with the kitten for 20 minutes this morning , the ball was made from aluminium Kit kat wrappers. It was his first time of playing football and he soon took to chasing it around the floor but wouldn't come near me . I had to pass it back to him.
He is gradually getting used to us but will suddenly revert to being shy and dash away and hide He enjoys his cuddles and will roll onto his back for tummy tickles, he gets carried away and rolls off of things and has to be caught before landing on things .
The kitten is about 9 weeks old and was from a farm, he had 2 sisters. I think he might not have been getting as much food as he felt a bit thin . He is making up for it at the moment eating biscuits and wet food .
This evening was the first time that he has come to us for a cuddle . I brought him in to our living room after tea but he went and hid underneath the TV unit for an hour, when he came out he ran back out into the kitchen . He came back into the living room a bit later of his own accord and has settled down helping my wife with her knitting , he's pawing the ball of wool .

I spotted Santa on my way through Deptford. He sends his good wishes.

Railway arch? I used to travel on the North Kent via Bexleyheath.

Some old maps can be worth a bit. Worth checking before binning.

A to Z of Bristol, Birmingham. Cheltenham and Gloucester circa 1998
Ordnance Survey Landranger (extremely battered copies) Staffordshire, Gloucestershire etc

On Ebay about £3 if they are in good condition.

When Kizzy was younger she liked ping pong balls, cos they bounce off the skirting boards and bounce down the stairs.

It's no yolk!
They start at the end of September.

I saw Cadbury’s Mini Eggs for sale in B&M last week.

Ah, a railway question! It's alongside the world's first commuter line, Greenwich to London. Or London to Greenwich, depending on your direction of travel.

And the cycling cut-through I took the picture from is called the Ha'penny Hatch, which was originally a toll pathway between Greenwich and Deptford. It saved a 3/4 mile walk. For 1/480th of a pound.

Try toys like feathers-on-a-stick or a fishing rod type thing. Interactive toys are great for building up a cat or kitten's confidence.

Pastry's fun and it does get your hands extra clean. I really enjoy stretching it into pie dishes, it's better to cut the fingernails otherwise you make holes in it. Remember, it's got to stretch when rolling out, so don't make it too thin.

Exactly what type of pie is it you make, that has fingernails in it!!

Well, we're back level

Bugger, that didn't last long... Result as expected, really.

Sounds eggsellent, you’ll be able to look into the whites of their eyes.

Your eggs have eyes!

What with walls having ears, and eggs having eyes, Alexa seems tame.

At least you won't be disappointed with your prediction. The result on the other hand...

Not so much a prediction, more of a depressing foregone conclusion these days. Never mind, its only Chelsea next!
