Preparations.....and more preparations!

 

Putting some finishing touches to our living room under the suspicious glare of our cat Amber.  She does not look at all amused that the mice are under the lamp - just where she likes to sleep!

So far Amber has not attacked our Christmas tree.  She has not even sniffed at it in previous years and we thought that it was because it was a real one and like me allergic to essence of pine!  This year however we have opted for an artificial one because of lack of time and terrible terrible weather. Just keeping fingers crossed that it doesnt get trashed by a certain furry person........  I am quite expecting the mice to disappear if she decides they are for her.
