Finally. A little bit of rain. Smudge cat has forgotten what it feels like!!
My weather app keeps saying there’s a chance of rain. I know it’s not going to be enough. But PLEASE!
Smudge remembers when this straw used to be grass. At least his cat mint plant seems to be drought-tolerant.
If you look very carefully, there is a hedgehog under the chair in the middle of the patio. Then over on the left of frame another hedgehog walks up towards some water bowls. How nice to catch two on camera at the same time!
Quite concerned that I can smell smoke. It’s really windy too. Really hoping I’m just being paranoid.
Such a treat to see hummingbird hawk moths today at Hinton Ampner today. They obviously are thriving in the heatwave.
“Morning, human. I love you. I’m dribbling on you. Now please get up and get my breakfast!”
Golden hour last night with Smudge cat. He knows how to find the best lighting.
I'm sorry to ask for help again so soon, it's just our epileptic girl Mango has been in hospital for 4 days and we've also had 5 very wonky kittens (two who can't walk) brought in. A miracle would be lovely 😭

Smudge just came in from a productive morning patrol. Many butterflies were watched and bees avoided!
A bit of moth hunting last night. Can’t tell if it was successful or not!
Smudge in his own personal cave which he has hollowed out from one of the bushes.
Football finished too late for us, but saw a bbc news alert on my phone. Now I need to stop Iain looking at his phone when he wakes up before he watches the recording! Good job I’m not bothered about football! 😂 I feel like James Bond with a secret mission now!
Smudge is spending most of his time under a bush in the garden. When the heatwave ends, I’m looking forward to having a cat back in the house!
Smudge is happy that it’s slightly cooler this evening. It’s been a very hot day here.
Smudge was a very good boy at the vets this morning. He’s had his annual vaccination and is, as usual a bit sleepy afterwards. So he’s flaked out on the landing with a fan on him.
I got the football ready for my husband to watch while he gets ready for work. The problem is that I know nothing about football and he’s asked me to pause it if anything exciting happens. So I’m having to pause and then ask if this particular event counts as exciting!
