Humphrey update

Before my book launch this week I had one of my rare poor sleeping nights.  Well you can understand it can’t you since I was undergoing

a mixture of terror and excitement.  But it ended up with me making tea at 4.30 in the am.  Not a time I usually know about.

Of course Humphrey loved it because he blagged an extra feed.  Then he demanded to go out.  Perhaps he thought it was a safe time to be out.  Without the intruder in the garden.

What amazed me was that the birds were already alert.  Major bird song time.  I was so surprised I stood at the back door for a few minutes listening.  Wonderful.  The peace and quiet, apart from Humphrey’s miaows, and then the bird song.

He’s been more active this week, despite the cold so spring must be coming.  More evidence with all the shoots in the garden.  Maybe not in the economy but let’s stay positive.   I always feel that if it’s daylight things are easier to deal with than in those dead long dark days of winter.
