The Purr-fect Writing Companions
I enjoy working from home with its many advantages.
Preferring a quiet and still working environment, I rarely turn down offers of coffee from Gajitman, plot analysis from my daughter and the chance to laugh with my son at his wordplay jokes, but during the day in the school term, I have six hours in which to write, blog, complete tax returns and process admin.
My cats, Daisy and Rascal, are my quiet companions at these times. Their coffee skills could use a little polishing, and the only plot they’re concerned about is their territory in the garden, but they do make me smile and laugh and provide excellent cover when I’m talking to myself – ‘That? Oh, I was just talking to Rascal.’
As I write this, Rascal is tearing through the house. I don’t know why. Possibly to do with the rain and wind outside. It would be easy to believe a herd of elephants have charged upstairs …
Daisy is more refined, prim and proper, and she saves most of her affection for my daughter. However, if I’m the only one home, I’ll do …
We are huge cat lovers in the James household – they bring so much love and laughter to our lives, and they are as much a part of our family as our flesh and blood relatives.
Now to teach them how to make a decent cup of coffee …

Take care.

Well, as you know, Rascal and myself are best friends these days. My writing companion is my dog, who is very unimpressed by the whole thing and usually only gets active if food is involved.
Lovely photos. 🙂
He’s been outside this morning, staring at the fence … in the rain … I think he might have been stunned at the amazing speed of a snail. Or hypnotised by a leaf. 🙂 xx
