I was busy in my shed for most of the day but I had visitors and as it was a nice day, I kept my door open to create a comfortable breeze to work in.

Monster obviously came in, had a quick look around….

… and then settled on a hot tin roof outside.

This is his spot when the sun is shining.

Pepper also wanted to be outside but the deal was that I forbade all hunting and she had to stay here with me, where I could keep an eye on her.

Oh yes, little Miss Pepper, no one trusts you and I wonder why.  Would it possibly be the fact that you vanish in seconds and have gone to visit all our neighbours.

So I stabbed away to many episodes of my latest US medical drama trying not to sob my heart out.

Multitasking though, I tried to keep an eye on the ever-wandering Little Miss P.

At one stage I left my chair to check on her location only to find she had gone!  I knew it.  Little **** bleeep ****.  The chicken replacement fooled no one.

Looking around, I saw her and I think I caught her just in time.  That is the guilty face of someone who was thinking of visiting the neighbours today.

Anyway, Pepper didn’t go and today decided that home was the place to stay but I still don’t trust her.  She lulls me into a false sense of security and then totally takes advantage and off she buggers!
