Well, I’m not sure where the time has gone since I last posted, but its only 31 days until Gizmos Human crosses the start line of the London Marathon… The training has been going really well, apart from feeling like there arent enough hours in the day, every day, for the last 3 months!? A few days ago, I ran 20 miles for the first … Continue reading London Marathon Update – Final Countdown!!
Knowledge is knowing how soft and silky Gizmos fluffy tummy is to stroke… Wisdom is knowing NOT to stroke it if you value your limbs, and want to keep your hands free of teeth and claw marks 😹 Do you ever fall for the kitty tummy trap…!? Continue reading Kitty Tummy Trap… 🤭
It’s been a while since Gizmo presented us with regular gifts, but in the last 48 hours, I think hes made up for it…?! Like many humans at the moment, I’m struggling to get a good nights sleep. Yes, it’s probably a combination of pandemic stress, work anxiety and generally not feeling able to relax, but Gizmo is not helping the situation… I start this … Continue reading Close Encounter… 😳🐁
From humble beginnings in 1927, Cats Protection has grown to become the UK’s leading feline welfare charity… Did you know that they help to neuter approximately 150,000 cats and kittens each year, including 20,000 feral cats….

As my previous employer would say, “Every Little Helps”… And this is so true when it comes to donations towards my London Marathon fundraiser in aid of Cats Protection. Donating £5 could supply 10 days worth of specialist milk to hand feed an orphaned kitten… Donating £10 could pay for bedding and a safe place to sleep for a cat or kitten… Of course, larger … Continue reading 💰 Every Little Helps… 💰
Sundays are for sleeping… Not just because we lost an hour of sleep last night thanks to the clocks coming forward, but also because Gizmo spent most of the night loudly chasing (and misplacing) a mouse in the living room…. Mouse location still unknown… 🐁🤦♀️ My front room is now littered with humane mouse traps, waiting for the little darling to appear… 😹🤦♀️ Thanks Gizmo … Continue reading Sundays are for sleeping…😹💤
When you wake your Human up at 4am playing with a dead mouse, and she gets up to investigate, but ends up walking into the living room in the dark with bare feet and stepping on it, it’s probably best that you leave the Human alone for a while!? 😹 #ungratefulorwhat Poor Gizmo looks a bit sad doesnt he?! All that effort to bring me … Continue reading Watch where you walk Human!? 😹🐁
Since I started running, I’ve found there are good runs, runs I would rather forget, and runs that dont go to plan… and yesterdays run definitely did NOT go to plan. I managed to squeeze two short runs in the week around work commitments, but yesterday I’d planned to do my long run. In hindsight I think I pushed myself a bit hard on my … Continue reading Gizmos Human Marathon Update – 21 March 2021
