Started on the dining room

I started on the Dining room today.  First one piece of good news – the old Lincrusta (or Anaglypta) came off in one single piece – it was really hardly…

Cauliflowers

What is it with the size of cauliflowers?  On the whole they are disappointingly small, but from time to time you get an unnaturally huge one. I do not know…

Basement Lounge

J’s lounge in the basement is a huge room with a bay window.  For a basement it is really quite bright and airy but when we moved in it was…

    Eleventh Day of Mousemas – Closing scenes

    / 28 December 2025

    Amber again. Mousemas is nearly over for another year.  Tomorrow is R’s birthday which brings things to a close and the day after, M will take the decorations down.   It is funny because…

    Tenth Day of Mousemas – A nasty surprise

    / 27 December 2025

    Today started well, as just when we thought it would never happen, the intruders left.  First the strange red car departed (hopefully not to return) followed by R and M in the usual…

    Ninth Day of Mousemas – Boxing Day

    / 26 December 2025

    Saphy here again. The humans had great hilarity this afternoon playing a game called “Railway Rivals”.  This is apparently a game they bought in the dim mists of prehistory when there were sabre-toothed…

    Eighth Day of Mousemas – Christmas Day

    / 25 December 2025

    Saphy here. It has been chaos today.  People, presents, paper, singing, endless music and then pointless games for hours and hours.  Amber went off in the sulks – she managed to hide so…

    / 25 December 2025

    This is another story about Big Ted the bear from my childhood which I wrote for my family at Christmas. Lots of illustrations (done with the help of AI as it would have…

    Seventh Day of Mousemas – Christmas Eve

    / 24 December 2025

    Amber again. This is what the humans call Christmas Eve.  Someone was born a long time ago and is supposed to be coming back some time but hasn’t yet.   Most humans including R…

    Sixth Day of Mousemas – A visitor

    / 23 December 2025

    Amber here.  R’s sister V came today.  She is very scary because she has two dogs and (I have to be blunt here) she smells of them.  Also, she is just scary because…

    Fifth Day of Mousemas – Stranger Danger

    / 22 December 2025

    Saphy here.  I am only informed of this second hand – but R at least is a reasonably reliable source (wouldn’t trust M as far as I could claw her).  Apparently when he…

    Fourth day of Mousemas – a new bed

    / 21 December 2025

    Amber here.  I must say I am very impressed with our humans today.  I have mentioned that R got us (well me actually but Saphy steals it sometimes) a little bed for near…

    Third day of Mousemas – some churches

    / 20 December 2025

    Saphy here again. M and J went on a “walk to the manger” today.  This involved going into different churches around town and singing Christmas carols.  As a slight digression – I believe…
