Happy Xmas everyone.    I've sent no overseas cards this year owing to being
in an endless state of chaos through house renovations.   So special
greetings and purrs to the people I normally contact.

The cats have had a wonderful time, pestering Ted as he paints and papers.
Freshly painted window sills have to be sniffed and walked on.    They walk
through layers of dust from the sanding down.   Unlike most cats they like
the vacuum cleaner and play with the hose as I battle with the dust.

Bonnie has a favourite trick, she leaps to the top of a freshly painted open
window and leaps from there onto Ted's back.I don't know how he keeps his
balance and his paint tin upright.

He never loses patience with her and manages to twist and turn to put her
down carefully.    She yowls all the way.

Purrs to all from Fluffy SP, Bonnie and Clyde
