LOL!! But poor you for that cataclysmic introduction to the kitty!! I would have jumped right out of my skin… It is a lovely kitty though. and what is it wiht cats and men?? We sadly don’t have a cat but our neighbour has 5, three of which visit us so much it feels as though we do have a cat (or three). When I get home, Nick grunts hello and goes back to watching TV from his position on the couch. But when the cat comes in he LEAPS up, fetches some kitty treats, runs up and down the stairs playing with it - unbelievable!!! No chance of our moggies getting their furry chops on duck though - it’s Felix chicken chews or nothing!!

Firstly, the cat is NOT CALLED PUDDING TINS! I would not allow an animal with such a stupid name into my flat!

And, yes, fourteen year old spotty boys fancy you. Well done.

Bah!

For such a short period of time it seemed that someone other than Pudding Tins (the cat) appreciated me.

My feelings were smashed by the revelation that the admirer was infact one of Ros’ students

Is it me, or does anyone smell a rat lurking in that last comment?

It’s confirmed, a subsequent two posts under different names from the same address have appeared. These year 9s aren’t too good at disguising their false posts, are they?

I’ve been reading your blog for about three months
I love your down to earth approach to honest good cooking.
That Goon sounds wacky
Is he single?

That cat looks like a big softy - as well as being a cat who knows what it likes… Mallard, indeed!

Oh Ros I can’t imagine the fright you must have had! Funnily enough my cat Tinkerbell was adopted in much the same way (minus the breaking and entering haha). She used to come running up the road to our house when we got home and one time we let her in because she seemed to be even more starved of attention than usual. From that point on we’d let her in and feed her once in a while, and eventually she started coming over more and more often. This process soon became part of our routine and before we knew it we’d essentially taken her on as a full-time pet. We knew her owners and so out of politeness we had a word with them. They were more than happy to let her live with us on the basis that she was clearly happier there. Tinks has been with us for many many years now and I couldn’t imagine life without her (although she’s now getting to that age when sadly you have to start thinking about eventualities).

I’m well into the idea of beetroot and orange with duck, as soon as I saw this post I just thought that’s got you written all over it. I hope Hackney is life treating you well.

Oh my! You must have had the fright of your life! I hope the bump goes away quickly.

Love that duck
