Our morning starts with what looks and sounds like one of those 'alternative' productions of Macbeth.
The PONs find the eight kittens and the cat asleep on the garden chairs.
There follows a witches brew of activity. Kittens go flying everywhere. Two rush into the barn. Some rush through the lavender beds. Others clamber up trees. Yet others hurtle across the lawn. The angelic duo howl. The kittens are soon safely out of sight but not out of mind.
The sturm und drang lasts for all of ten frenetic minutes.
We set of along the lane for a post excitement walk passing the Senegalese melon pickers as we go. The PONs rush over to see them and then, unhappy that the melon pickers have no biscuits to offer, rush back.
Lines of fire engines and riot police coaches heading along the motorway in the direction of Bordeaux. Reinforcements for the G7 meeting in Biarritz. Angus is much more interested in a mobile wine bar that is heading in the same direction. The heads of state would probably benefit from its presence.
Gwyneth Paltrows book curator speaks. Thatcher Wine - celebrity bibliophile. And to think that book shelves used to be for books you'd read : https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a28680227/how-to-organize-books-thatcher-wine-gwyneth-paltrow/?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=socialflowFBED&utm_medium=social-media

It is one thing to be well-read; quite another to appear to be.
Now as for the cats, the friend I am staying with puts little lines of upright sticks (think prison razor wire effect) around all her dug up areas to keep the neighbourhood felines from frolicing. It appears to be working... YAM xx
The Guardian yesterday noted that Thatcher Wine sounded like the latest member of the Brexit party.
The mobile bar gives new meaning to boxed wine.
I am feeling a bit wicked this morning due to high heat and humidity, again! Therefore, reading about the Pons vs Kittens early morning run about, brought a smile to my face. Not because unsuspecting kittens are being chased by two of the most ferocious Pons I know. But, because of the imagined amount of noise that could have been made for an approximate ten minutes! Is it possible this noise could have been heard by the family of the disruptive, skateboarding, returned to the peaceful village, boys?
It is quite possible the cat hunting noise was heard by the readers of this blog in Australia and the United States !
I think the world leaders are going to be left with hangovers without wine.
Hello Angus! I'm catching up on your news that I've missed this past week. I have to say, the one kitten, or kittens look like they are siamese with those blue eyes and dark mask, etc. What would Bob and Sophie do if they managed to catch one?
Bob would run a mile. Sophie would fight.
