Black & Blue Tulip

I could have titled this "What A Night".

Went to bed at 10:30, thought I would read for a while and fall asleep and Get up early.

No chance.  Munni the cat came to see me every 15 minutes for 20 minutes or so.  It's difficult to sleep when a cat walks across you, lies down on you chest, and extends her claws as you are stroking her.  The claws will keep you awake.

Munni stopped about 2:30 am and climbed up to her favourite sleeping nest.  I read for another 30 minutes and fell asleep. 

Yay, sleep.

Just over half an hour later this little flower came to visit me.  She was determined to get up on the bed (and fall over on the bed) over and over.  She also had to get up close and purr into my face (those whiskers are tickly).  

The purring was part of a ritual which involved wandering over me in various directions, then coming back flopping down on my chest.

This went on for about 2 hours.

She finally settled down in the crook of my knees, and that was me stuck until it was time to get up.  About 90 minutes later.

Not been at my sharpest today.  Sharp as a sausage, you might say.

Tonight will be better.

And it's difficult to be grumpy at pretty flowers.
