Lazy or Wot!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret back with you again!

Well, today has been one of those terribly busy days when we seem to have done nothing in particular and taken a long time doing it!

Our morning walk was dark and just a little chilly, not that Eric worried about that, he stayed cuddled up in Old Two Legs arms for half the walk and ran all the way back to the car stopping only for a wee and a sniff!

All we could see was the lights over Sheerness and the first glow of the sun and it was thinking of getting out of bed!

OTL had to use a very high ISO in the camera to get the picture.

I must ask him one day what an ISO is!

Sheerness by street light!

When we got back home The Missus had already gone off to the village hall so Holly and I headed for the bed for a snooze while OTL got down to shovelling poo out of the ferret cages!

After the chores, he was back onto the computer transferring files from one computer to the other.

Dead boring if you ask me!

Lunchtime walk was better, well at least we could see where we were going!

Holly and I wanted to go down on the beach but OTL said we had to stay away 'cos Holly can't behave herself and after ploughing up the sand with her nose and getting sand in her eyes, she would have to go down to the vet and get eye drops and watch OTL cry as he handed over his credit card!

Looks inviting but not good for Holly's eyes!

 Back home again to some nosh, chicken, freshly cooked this morning. Holly and I ate half each, saving the remainder for later tonight!

OTL had a bite to eat and then we all fell asleep in front of the TV while watching the F1 practice!

Not that it was boring it was just, 'uneventful'!

After watching the recordings OTL went off to the computer again to transfer some more data.

I did say it was boring, right!

So that's it today, busy doing boring things, maybe tomorrow will be better.

I know Monday will be fun 'cos it will be our birthday! Yep! Holly and I will be all of ten years old!

We will be expecting loads of birthday cards and loads of emails saying 'Happy Birthday' and Archie Babe is going to compose a really rude song, just for us!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Something Different!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here!

As you may have noticed, it's Friday!

Old Two Legs has had a lucky break, he managed to get the computer to do what he wanted it to do without without it falling over and pretending to die!

Mind you, there were moments of 'Re-naming' the computer!

I never knew a computer could have so many names!

This morning was just too dark for photos and the sun hadn't even got out of bed, never mind poking it's nose over the horizon!

Young Eric enjoys the dark, you see he is almost invisible in the dark 'cos his hair is black and very dark brown, so, all we see is a flash of black heading for our legs!

At lunchtime Monty and Wendy were out with us and there was no hiding in the grass and jumping out and shouting 'BOOO'!

Holly was getting all philosophical and questioning the existence of Nargles!

Holly reckons that as we have never seen a Nargle therefore it goes that there are no Nargles. If there are no Nargles then where did the name come from and why is it that so many times we hear everyone mention Nargles and on top of that, how do we know the spelling is correct?

It could be, if they exist, they are called Nargulls and that's the reason why we have never seen one 'cos we have been looking for Nargles!

I really don't do Fillysofficals so I just look interested and nod when she looks at me!

I've been thinking...................!

 Now, while Holly has been doing her Fillysofficals, Wendy and Monty were having fun in the grass. OTL caught Wendy trying to get up the steps and falling back onto her tail!

There's never a ladder around when you need one!

 It was lucky for her that OTL put his hand under her tail and gave her a lift up!

One the football field both ferrets just love a good run on the grass. Providing there are no woofers around, both ferrets think it is all great fun!

Hang on, I've got to get my breath back!

Tomorrow The Missus is up the village hall with the 'Girls' sloshing the glue and glitter. Now normally TM makes a Tea Cake the size of a tea tray and she never brings any home.

Now today she decided to make a sponge cake with cream and jam in the middle, well, that was the plan.

Holly reckons TM has been watching too many of those 'Bake Off' programs, you know the ones that seem to get 'Soggy Bottoms'!

So, determined not to get a soggy bottom, TM wound up the oven so you could melt iron in it!

In goes the sponge mix and off she goes to mess about on her mobile phone.

A little later the smoke alarm goes off and we all rush into the kitchen to view the sponge cake.

You will be pleased to know that there were no soggy bottoms. The tops didn't have any Duck Ponds but rather they looked like burnt out volcano's!

The bottoms were flat and about the same consistency of iron manhole covers!

Tomorrow TM will be taking some Tea Cake up to the hall!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret

It's that Computer Again!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here again!

Us woofers have been benefiting from Old Two Legs reading the Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time' only this is the third time he has read it and still he is mystified on several points!

We reckon he has also learnt some serious descriptions of our computer!

Judging by what he has been calling it today we don't think E=MC2  quite covers it!

If it were me I'd learn how to use pen and paper!

We were up early again this morning and discovered that The Missus was still in bed!

Most unusual!

OTL got up and found that the downstairs light was still on, so that means TM has been up 'Getting Inspired'!

When we went out we got inspired as well, Eric said he could hear Nargles and I'm sure I heard something moving in the grass!

Wossat?

The computer naming carried on all morning and in the end TM said she couldn't stand it any more and rushed off to the doctors surgery to get her ears syringed out!

That left us having to use the big car to get down to the beach with Wendy and Monty.

Monty was dashing about while Wendy had her head in the grass having a good sniff for monsters!

Monty reckons he saw the monster but before he could jump on top of it, it ran away!

Well, I did see a monster but it ran off as soon as it saw me!

Now, we all think that when OTL or TM goes to have their eyes sorted, they should take Monty with them and get his checked out!

Today we have got chicken instead of Doggy Scoff but the only problem is, we got scoff tomorrow!

OTL is still playing with the computer so we will leave him to it and head off to see what nibbles there are in the kitchen!

With her ears all washed out, TM can hear us coming down the stairs!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret.

Five cats?

Hi Woofers!

Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret.

It's been a funny old day today. The Missus overslept by a couple of hours, Old Two Legs said it was the booze!

We were out good and early as well but we were still up before the sun poked it's nose over the horizon.

At the point where we turn back to the car OTL took a picture of a ship leaving on the morning tide.

Steady as you go Number One!

We told OTL that we were getting fed up with missing the morning sun but he said that the clocks go back in a couple of weeks and we can have as much sun as we want!

Mind you, we will be getting an extra hour in bed!

As we got back to the car, we looked back to see the sun shining on the clouds and aeroplane vapour trails!

Roll on the end of the month, an extra hour plus a sunrise every morning!

 Of course, lunchtime Monty was all for sunshine and getting up an hour later than normal 'cos at the moment he doesn't show his tail until eight thirty!

Mind you, OTL says that when he grows up he'll be a 'Ferret of Leasure'!

Down on the grass he was having a great time hunting, there were slugs and snails but after a sniff decided that were not for eating and then tried hunting mouses and shrews instead!

That slug sniffed like a load of woofer poo!

 One thing they both do is to try to keep up with us as we walk along the grass path. Unlike that hooligan Eric who thinks it's funny to try to give us a nip!

These two just like to keep up with us and of course, if Holly and I get involved in a good sniff they will wander on a bit then sit down to wait for us!

Yep! They are right behind us!

 Now, we had some fun this afternoon, you see OTL had got some new cable to connect the com[outers and the Internetty Modem together. We sort of misheard what he was saying and so we though that he had brought in five cats!

Well, he said he had some Cat5 cables!

Just wait, one day we'll get him with our Sub Woofers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

The Sun is back!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here!

What a difference a day makes!

For instance, The Missus stayed up an hour later than normal watching the final Harry Potter DVD. That means she will wake up an hour later than normal which means.............we get longer in bed to finish off our sleep!

It also means that Old Two Legs gets woken up earlier and that means...............we get down the Sea Front before the sun gets up!

Now, this is not on!

 We don't mind walking in the dark but you would have thought the Sun could have woken up to say hello!

Little Eric was ferreting around but had only his nose to guide him. Holly suggested that he borrows OTL's head lamp but after discussion with OTL we decided that battery would be too heavy!
 

Can you make the flash a bit longer?

Eric decided that it would be a good excuse he could use when he ran into the back of us!

I'm coming to get yooooo!

As we headed back to the car, the clouds sort of parted and we could see a bright patch but nowhere near where the sun should be!

Maybe it's a Yoo Ef Ho!

It was much better at lunchtime, the clouds have been blown away and the sun was out making everything warm again!

Monty and Wendy were enjoying a good ferret while Holly and I said Hello to a woofer we hadn't seen for ages!

Monty then had a good idea!

If we closed our eyes then ran into Holly or Daisy would that be a good excuse?

 Well, he tried but as he got close I told him I could see his shadow and that I was feeling very hungry and could just fancy a Ferret Sandwich!

Yeah? Well I just fancy Woofer on Toast!

We all had a good laugh 'cos Wendy and Monty are not like Eric and have never given us a nip!

Back home we all headed off for a snooze before dinner.

Yesterday we had Doggy Scoff and OTL had Curry.

We don't like scoff and curry in not my favourite, so we had to starve all evening until we took a deep breath and finished off the scoff!

If the weather is going to be the same tomorrow, we are going to get OTL out into the garden.

That will teach him!

Mind you, we may get chicken tonight, but that won't get him out of trouble!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

It's WET!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret here on a wet Monday!

After all of the super weather we have had this year, it looks like the 'normal' weather is back. Over night we were woken by the rain drops on the window and the dripping of the water, over the gutter and down onto the window ledge!

It didn't help to have The Missus bouncing around in bed and kicking both Holly and I off the bed!

As normal, it was pitch black when we went out for our morning walk and the rain was just finishing.

Old Two Legs decided to leave the camera at home 'cos he didn't want to get it all wet. It didn't matter 'cos the sun stayed behind the clouds and to be honest, there was nothing to see at all!

Eric was doing his favourite trick of waiting for Holly and I to catch up and then hurrying us up to get back to the car before it rained again!

Lunchtime the rain had eased off so Wendy and Monty were out with us. Monty walked all the way from the car, across the football field and all the way down to the Sea Wall. It was at that point he went looking for Nargles!

I think I've found one, I'm sure it's a Nargle, I know it's a Nargle!

 After a good ferret around and a lot of snuffling he lifted his head and said.........

It's run away!

That's the trouble with Nargles, they always run away!

Looking at the weather forecast, we should be getting some better weather over the next few days.

On our way around the walk today we met up with a bird watcher who complained that he hadn't seen any geese on the mud flats and I must say that the Brent Geese normally turn up at the end of September and the Canada Geese are normally here by now.

I reckon all the geese have stayed on holiday 'cos the weather has been so warm this year!

So, have a look at the area where you live to see when the winter birds arrive!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

OTL has got out of weeding!

Hi Woofers!

The Gangs all here, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Last night we had some fun. It was a couple of foxes playing out the front of our house that woke Holly  and of course if Holly wakes up then I'm awake as well!

We looked out the bedroom window in time to see them wander off, well, what do we do now?

Tell Old Two Legs!

Holly and I jumped onto OTL and we both gave his ears and shoulders a good licking!

He was delighted we woke him and he gratefully mentioned his thanks and told us to woof off!

We know he was only playing and so we gave him another lick!

So, there we were awake a whole thirty minutes earlier than normal!

Of course, down on the Sea Front it was still dark and the sun was somewhere over the Mediterranean but it didn't stop OTL from clicking away with the camera!

Any earlier and it would be stars in the sky!

Now, yesterday we were showing off out glittery bits and poor Eric was all non-reflective, not today!

Eric found if he kept his eyes open there would be a bit of light bouncing off his eyeball!

OK, not as flash as our glitter but there was a little light there or as OTL says, a Twinkle!

We think that Eric wants to grow up to be a Sheep Dog. When we are out with him he spends all his time 'Rounding' us up and making sure we don't get lost!

Holly says he just an old fuss pot but it's nice to know he cares about us!

Get them up, move them out, get them up Rawhide!

Now, on the other paw Monty and Wendy are more interested in 'Ferret Sniffs' and leave us alone to get on with Woofer Sniffs except when Monty joins Holly and I in a Sniff Lesson!

We will be glad when Monty grows up a bit. He still has trouble with the steps and although he does get up, it is still a struggle!

I swear these steps are growing!

 Holly says that she gets a little bored waiting for Monty and Wendy but it's still better than having Eric chasing yer tail!

Wake me up when they get close!

 Monty does enjoy the grass path and the sniffs and he has taken to hiding in the grass until Holly and I pass and at that point he jumps out!

I bet they can't see me!

 This afternoon it looked like rain, so bang goes the weeding!

Maybe next week!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Change of plans, make it a LAZY DAY!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret

As you know, we were planing a very industrious day, you know, slaving over a weed patch and a grubby pond.

Old Two Legs was going to take us all out for a run this morning, only it was us woofers who did the running and fast trots!

However, we still beat the sun in getting up!

Mind you, looking at the sunrise you wouldn't believe it was still dark on the Sea Wall. OTL had to use the 'Flash' setting on the camera, but hey, it showed up our 'Reflective Strips'!

It's us, The Glitter Girls!

Eric, who was with us didn't have any glow in the dark strips on his gear, so, even if we used flash he was still difficult to see!

Now you see me, and now you don't!

It was rather warm this morning and just seemed to get warmer as the day wore on. At lunchtime it was really warm and both Wendy and Monty were not as quick up the path, in fact they said that they fancied a little sun bathe before ferreting around in the grass!

I just fancy an ice cream cone, Lactose Free of course!

Lunchtime came and Holly and I had our Doggy Scoff while OTL made himself a couple of Marmite Sandwiches. He was sitting in front of the TV when he was eating them and as soon as he finished, he fell asleep!

Mind you, we were not complaining 'cos Holly and were upstairs snoozing on the bed!

Bang goes the 'Weeding plan'!

Late afternoon we woke up, wandered down stairs to tell OTL we fancied another walk, so, out we went over the football field and this time Miss May came with us for a run around!

Well, not really a run around more of a little ferret around the field,, stopping to get a carry from OTL every so often when her legs got a little tired!

Back home she went straight to her feeding bowl for a nibble and then promptly fell asleep on the hammock!

It doesn't take long to get her tired out!

So, plans for tomorrow, weed the garden and pond.

Wot chance?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

It's Friday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret back again!

We just love Friday's, it means that Old Two Legs finishes early and we can sit down and plan what we are doing over the weekend.

We know that The Missus is off to her Master Class in the the village hall tomorrow so that means we will get the big car to take us to the sea side!

OTL says that if the weather is kind, he plans to do some clearing up in and around the pond in the garden. There is loads of dead leaves blowing around and the reeds have dropped there leaves as well!

It could be fun if the sun is shining but if it rains, well, there is always the DVD player and some nibbles on the sofa!

Today we didn't see the sun, we beat it again and OTL was a little disappointed that he didn't have any dramatic clouds on the horizon!

Yeh! It's OK but not exactly Pow!

One thing we have noticed when we bring young Eric on our walk, he just loves to be 'In Charge'!

What he does is wait until we have walked past him and then he will come along. However, if we hang back, he stands there looking at us and sometimes even takes a swipe as we go past, a sort of 'Get a move on'!

Holly calls him a 'Bossy Ferret'!

Better get a move on or he will be after us!

Back home we spent a super time snoozing on the bed, you know it sure is comfortable and very relaxing!

The lunchtime walk was super, a gentle warm breeze blowing down stream! Monty and Wendy had a great time sniffing the sniffs and better still, they didn't try to boss us about!

Well, we'll wait up there for them to catch up!

You know it is amazing to see that after their walk the ferrets spend most of the day fast asleep in their cages. That is excluding Miss May, she gets to stay in bed when Eric goes out. OTL says that May would get too tired if she came out and as she is getting old, she is around six years old, she finds the rampage around the house is just enough exercise before she falls asleep!

OTL knows all her sleeping places which range from the 'Pinny Box' to the underside of the chairs in the lounge!

Mind you, she gets a bit 'wobbly' when she first comes out of the cage and needs a sit down before heading down stairs to the 'Brambles Biscuits'!

Yesterday OTL had Beef Burger and Salad, now we don't do salad but the burger looked rather tasty, so, like good woofers we sat next to OTL giving him the 'Signs'!

Holly and I got a bit of burger but what we didn't know was the crafty OTL had wrapped the burger around the worming tablet!

By the time we had worked out what he had done the burger bit and pill had landed in our tummy!

Oh well, maybe next time we will get to wind him up!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret! 

Eye Spy!

Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Up early, again!

We will be glad when we get back to Real Time again, you know we are up, walked and on our way home before the sun gets up!

It's not fair!

Like, today all Old Two Legs had to photograph is Sheerness under the street lights!

Not quite the same as a big sunrise!

Well, the colour is there even if the sun isn't!

 Back home OTL was busy with the VAT. In fact, not only the paperwork but trying to get the accounts program to talk to the HMRC VAT section of the empire!

In the end he paid the VAT and then broke down sobbing, mind you he does that every time he has to pay the VAT!

Lunchtime we went out a little earlier than normal. When we got down to the Sea Front there was some new sniffs, tourists!

I've not sniffed this before!

We had Wendy and Monty with us, as normal, and he is getting to know all of the sniffs we come across. He will be a keen sniffing expert in a year or two!

Yes, that's correct, Old Woofer with upset tummy!

Another thing is, Monty just loves tearing about in the grass looking for Nargles. Just of late Miss Wendy has been joining in with the hunt!

Tally Ho Monty Babe, get yer tail in gear!

Today The Missus and OTL headed off to the hospital to get TM's eyeballs tested. She will be going in for cataract treatment and there is even a chance that she will get her eyes all done before Christmas!

Now, we reckon Archie Babes mum is a very kind and caring Two Legs, I mean, taking her neighbour to the TL Vets and then getting Millie's haircut all sorted as well!

Mind you, it's a bit mean of Millie not having a wee when the Groomer is carrying you, just think, you could get your own back and wee all down her coat!

Miss Snowflake used to do that to OTL if he didn't get her to the sea shore quick enough where she had her first wee!

We got Doggy scoff tonight so I don't know how OTL is going to get those Wormy Tablets down our throats!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!
