Fox

 For just a brief moment I thought there was a fox sleeping on our drive...

But it's Mobli's friend the Red Baron.

We can almost imagine his "Walrus" moustache and lornet ;)

Now we have two outside cats.

Grrrrrr

We have been driving 200 km's for a second hand roof rack that didn't actually fit.

We were planning on taking our canoe to a lake... I'll have to continue the hunt.

Dusting

I've been dusting the kitchen shelf.... 

Time off from work but still got to do some work at home.

Grain

On our work top in the kitchen two stackable vintage containers filled with quinoa.

Summer Holidays

Started my summer holidays... 

Favourite Feral

Mobli is coming closer. But I still haven't touched him.

But he's getting used to my voice because I often talk to him. 

He follows me through the garden and keeps me company when I hang out the laundry.

When we sit down or work in the garden most of the time he lies down just a couple of metres away.

Besides he knows he's save with us he seems to enjoy our company and talking. 

Wasp

Could this be a Polistes dominula on the Aralia californica?

Toad

The kenderman thought he came across something special in our garden.

It seems to be a Common toad :)

Today is an incredible hot and moist day. 

Perfect time to read a book in the shade.

Cats

Now we have 3 cats.

Our outside feral cat Mobli and on the inside Nim and Mats.

Since a week Mobli has been staying in our garden.

I make sure he gets his food a couple of times a day.
When we're in the garden he prefers taking a nap close to us.

He has a hideaways under the hedge and one on top of the wood pile.

 His safety distance is shortening. Today he almost touched my foot :)

Museum

Yesterday we visited the University Museum Utrecht.

Just 20 minutes before closing time we entered the museum :)

Utrecht

city-canal

Today we visited Utrecht again.
I could definately live here.........
in a beautiful old renovated house in the centre :)

Walk

Me, my friend and Abrikozeke went for a walk today.

Too bad they don't live nearby so we could do this more often!

Film

One Year

My blog has been evolving into a cat blog ;)
Today's post will be no exception because it's our Nim's first B-day! Just hang in there.

(dont' be fooled by this photo)

Nim is a great pet to us, and a lovely friend and 'surrogate mum' to Mats.

She will play with him, sleep next to him, wash him,gently bite
and 'reprimand' him and protect him. And boy she will protect him. 

On top of this 2.2 mtr cabinet, there are 2 cats lying down.

Mister Mats is surrounded by her! There's no way he can fall of this cabinet.

And what does she get from him?
He bites her, miaows way too loud, wakes her, creeps up on her and eats her food.
Although he can be a real pain, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't wanna miss him.
He's just so cute when he sleeps ;)

Notorious

Only 4 months old now (3 months in this photo),

Mats is regularly trying to dominate Nim.

He is becoming a "notorious" little punk.
