Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Beautiful and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteFor a change!
DeleteA lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteFreddie refused to smile.
DeleteAaaaw, lovely !
ReplyDeleteThey are!
DeleteWonderful photograph. It reminds me of me and my other half. X
ReplyDeleteAren't you getting married this weekend? Congrats to you both.
DeleteTop cat, top dog.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly think they are.
DeleteGreat photo of two friends.
ReplyDeleteNice aren't they. They give us so much pleasure.
DeleteTabbies are beautiful ! I have had 5 tabbies over the last 45 years. Present incumbent is now 17 and very frail and deaf, but still eats well . He ignores the dogs !
ReplyDeleteTabbies are without question my favourites. To me they are REAL cats.
DeleteJust how a relationship should be, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThey've spent about 5 years ignoring each other, now they've decided to be friends.
DeleteFreddie
ReplyDeleteN-Bok.
DeleteI see Fred sits higher. haha!
ReplyDeleteHe always takes the higher ground.
DeleteFreddie is smiling with his eyes.
ReplyDeleteHe's actually a bit of a miserable old codger.
DeleteThat happens to many creatures.
DeleteLovely ...... and, there's not really any competition .... Bok is top dog and Freddie is top cat .... perfect.
ReplyDeleteGreat companions for you and Lady M.. XXXX
Bok is certainly a good companion; Fred I'm not so sure about. He's very aloof.
DeleteAnything non-depressing is welcome at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Graham.
DeleteThere is an optical illusion in this photo for me - I keep thinking that Freddie is slowly blinking at us, like cats do.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that supposed to be their way of smiling?
DeleteI do the same to cats. It makes them relaxed.
DeleteFreddie's ears say bugger off; Boc's whole body says let's run around this yard a bit.
ReplyDeleteFreddie has never been a friendly cat; very aloof.
DeleteWe also have a tabby. They really are the best kind of cat. So symmetrical. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteHe's always been a very attractive cat, with beautiful markings.
DeleteAh but you have no idea what they are saying to one another in animal language.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's not printable.
DeleteWhat a beautiful cat. I love that they know where each is sitting and that is ok.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and thehamish
They keep their distance after having said hello.
DeleteTabby cats are the most beautiful of cats.
ReplyDeleteI named my daughter Tabitha, knowing it would be shortened to Tabby. And it was.
Yes I love Tabbies. Your daughter should be proud of her lovely name.
DeleteFreddie looks remarkably like the kidling's cat, Connelly. He is, however, far more regal and aloof than her cat, who is neediness personified.
ReplyDeleteFreddie was actually 'BOUGHT' from someone in Windsor (by my oldest son), and he probably thinks he's royalty.
DeleteThank you, dear Cro, for sharing this picture of shared space and time with us. It's a good image to return to when other images challenge life's joy.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Doom and Gloom can become all invasive after a while. We've had far too much of it.
