Someone came a knocking

R heard a noise just outside the cat flap this morning.  He opened the door, and just outside there was a tabby cat with a white chin which had been sniffing at the flap.  For a moment, he wondered why Saphy did not just come in, and then he realized that this was not her, but a similar but slightly larger cat with one white back leg.  R thinks it was a male though I am not sure what he bases that on other than gut instinct and the fact that it (or should in modern terms that be “they”?) was invading another cat’s garden.  Anyway, it shot off and climbed over the wall via a convenient tree.  It occurred to me that if we ever need stand ins for the two girls we have a ready made pair – the black one we have seen round the front a few times, and now this one.  I do hope it does not start coming in through the flap.

On a completely different note, I made some Shrewsbury biscuits this morning to take to church – they turned out not bad at all.
