I have joined a FB group, and bought the pattern for knitted Emotional Support Chickens. Because my brain needs to escape and my hands need to be ocupied. I need to negotiate access rights to my knitting bags...

Emotional Support Cats are preparing for a full-on day; waiting for the Brofur GCSE results envelope. Kora has gone out, fresh air and an empty bladder. Florrie is prepping for an all-nighter. Good luck to all those who have a big day ahead.

Florrie was showing off with her Mousie at 3am & it ran under my 'dressing bookcase'. I largely ignored the scratching and pawing. Florrie was still there this morning, so I have emptied & moved it. Both Florrie and her Mouse were evicted. Guess it didn't end well for Miss Mouse. #Hedgewatch

Tall bookcase that works as dresser. Florrie is peering under for her lost mouse, than ran underneath at 3am this morning.

Florrie let her mouse escape under the fridge freezer at 3am this morning. There are enough mouse snackies under that fridge to not worry about coming out!!

Kora has ignored the shelf for months, so Florrie has claimed it. However, tonight, Kora fancies having it back. This will not end well when Florrie comes back home. #Hedgewatch.

Our bed did not get made today. CatDad had to clamber out the top and just turn the duvet back. Florrie said she would put in another #Hedgewatch shift later. She did do a dawn patrol earlier, I didn't take a photo, but I did get a bitey on the hand...

The tissue paper said something inappropriate this morning and may not last the day. Kora was in one of her most demanding moods. It's not great for an already over-stimulated school morning. Like a cheese grater on my last nerve. 😬😖 😹😹 #Hedgewatch

Happy 6th Gotcha day to Kora, makes her nearly 10 years old. Tuna and cream cheese for tea tonight!) I traded one of her boxes for bubble wrap and tissue paper, because she doesn't have a lovely bed, strawberry cave, sofas, cat tree or anywhere else to sit. #Hedgewatch

I put a familiar box upstairs in case Kora got upset with all the wrong people, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Looks like the box might be stopping a while. She also has a Primark bag under the tree and 2 more boxes in the kitchen. #Hedgewatch
