Puppy love

So, who caught the first episode of Junior MasterChef?
The kids really wanted to watch it, but Mr 9 was in bed and asleep before the show even began, and Miss 7 only made it to the first ad break. Next morning was school, so it was probably just as well.
I wish I could tape it for them, because both C. and H. love to cook, to eat, and to watch television (well, they are kids!) They're obviously really interested in Junior MasterChef because there are kids on it doing exactly what they would love to do.
Miss 7 loved the parts she saw, but had one criticism: 'Where's the fat one?' she said. "Matt. Matt Preston."
(Sorry Matt ... but at least she likes you!)
Apparently Matt and his cravats are taking a smaller role in the kiddie version of the show.
No matter. We saw a playful side to George and Gary, and Anna Gare is just lovely.
And the kids. The kids! What a fantastic group of budding chefs, and how brave were the ones who sadly had to leave?
Awesome.
In other news, the kids and I did a bit of pet-sitting on the weekend, which we all loved. We popped into feed and play with a friend's dog while she was away, before popping across to my brother's home to pamper their elderly and slightly grumpy mini-daschund, young and excited poodle, and somewhat aloof British Shorthair cat. 
It's always a treat to have some puppy (and kitty) love.


Teddy, the cat, another one who will only eat Whiskas wet food


Wilbur the sausage dog. Sorry for blurry photo, he refused to look at me and kept moving because he was sulky and missing his humans. He later grudgingly allowed us to pat him and cuddle him.

Pippa the poodle. Kids wanted to take her home with us.

How did you spend your weekend?

Our cat is scared of strangers that if we are going away for more then a weekend we put him into a cattery.

It does cost to put them in there but it's like a pre school or kindy or cat party for him, he gets to mix with other cats.

Glad you all had fun looking ater the animals
