Hot House

After my little adventure by the sea I decided I needed to get of the sun's rays on me. Max has always maintained there was a benefit from laying in the sun and soaking up whatever heat was going. I am beginning to think that he knows something because after my jaunt to the seaside I felt totally rejuvenated and for a cat of my age that is pretty good.

I didn't fancy another trek over all the fields to get to the sea so I looked for something closer to home and there it was. The glasshouse in the garden. The two legs are always in and out of there putting plants in pots and watering them and all sorts but I heard her say the other night that all the planting out was now finished.

I knew she keeps a chair in there with cushion and all for Sebastian so he can o in there and sit with her while she works. He usually falls asleep and isn't at all interested in horticulture so I was up early and into the glasshouse to put my metaphoric towel on the chair for the day.

I curled up on the cushion and thought comfort. I smelled the nice earthy smell of the plants in the compost and I felt the temperature rising as the sun broke through the clouds and rose over head. This must be Heaven. So quiet and relaxing and oh so warm.

"Casper we're going out now are you coming in?"

"No way I'm comfy here thank you I shall not be moving all day"

"He looks very comfortable and it is warm. Shall we leave him out?"

"I'm not coming in"

"Yes. I'll just get him a bowl of water and some food in case he gets hungry!"

I have found my new summer retreat. Move over Sebastian - Casper's here now!
