It’s #GBBO Biscuit Week!! I am so excited! We made Nigella’s Peanut Butter cookies (minus chocolate chips for me). Also I was interested to see 2 cakes fell on the floor last week. For bakers a disaster - for me a hoovering opportunity. Please feed me biscuits. Abbey 🐾

Due some daring maneuverers my mat has repositioned itself Hopefully Jethro will think twice before peeking in through MY DOG FLAP!!!
Our hero Abbey, after defending the house against an attempted home invasion, by a brave ginger cat named Jethro. 

Her fast actions resulted in her mat being flung out of the way, as Abbey bolted after the uninvited guest.

Update: Ball(s) rescued!! This morning through a daring operation involving a broom, a captain and a grabber my red & green squeaky ball was rescued! I was so excited that I accidentally dropped my pink & purple ball into the river. This gave the captain another opportunity for a gallant rescue!
