My Week - by Austin

Now look here…..

…….I've had a really taxing week, what with one thing and another! I don't really want to talk about it! No I really don't!!  Ok, so this is what happened:

From Monday to Wednesday there were several strange men in the garden splashing paint, stones and mulch around in equal quantities. It was quite unnerving and not an ideal combination of materials - unless you're Jackson Pollock !

nice and cream!
Need some bedding plants
Some signs of spring
a splash of colour
Because it's been so freezing cold till now, there has been little sign of spring, but things are now starting to look up!

Anyways, back to my dreadful interesting week. Where was I? Oh yes! Thursday, I was awoken from some very pleasant dreams and bundled unceremoniously placed gently into the PTU and taken to that terrible place of torture the vet. He grabbed me by my unmentionables and scruffed me up something awful examined me and found that apparently despite me being full of pain (but of course never complaining) that my health was much more tickety boo than I thought and therefore did not need to book a return match visit for three months. Being the sadist kind man he is, he still felt the need to wrench open my mouth and stick his finger down my throat pill me and stick the needle right through my neck inject me! I, of course, sang loud and long throughout the whole episode, thus making me a strong contender in the "Leading Actor in a Musical" category in the upcoming Olivier awards.

Then there was Friday!!!!! OMG!!! I hadn't even had a chance to recover from the rest of the week! The Staff really needs an intervention. What was she thinking? She invited, yes actually invited, two thugs to come in to the house and smash it up!! I understand she even paid for this.  Is she bonkers? I could have done it for nothing, nada, zilch! I have to say though, they were very thorough. I watched it all from the bunker in next door's garden. They removed the whole side of the house four windows and put in new.  Sadly, because I wasn't snoopervising one of the thugs workmen accidentally measured too short for the sill on one of the windows and this is what happened!

Ooops!
He has to come back with another bit of board! The rules say he's allowed three goes to get it right ;)

So really I am knackered a bit tired and quite glad the week is over.


Look at the mess. I guess someone had better clear up the detritus!

Hehe!!! Ciao!

  1. What a terrible week you've had - we hope your humans are feeling guilty (unlikely we know)! We'll let you go and snoopervise to see if everything is done to your exacting standards and then take a long luxurious nap followed by a tasty meal. We hope everything is back to normal next week.

  2. That's quite the week you've had, Austin! We hope someone clears up the mess soon or you could, ahem, ADD to the mess and not be blamed for it. :p

  6. What a week! MOUSES!!!

    But... you've got pretty flowers (we had freezin' rain last night which wasn't as bad as the ice storm they said we were gettin') and a peep who knows how to do that neat movin' thing with your picture. That's something, for sure!

    Purrs,

  8. Mom's had a great LOL over your definition of detritus. And we know for a fact that you are currently getting some nice nap time in Mom's lap. So, at least, the weekend is showing some signs of being pretty good. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

  9. Such an awful week you had Austin! I hate it when noisy humans show up too...then the Vet, yikes! I hope you fully recover over the weekend!

  10. Austin, you are just too funny. The flowers are really pretty. Hope the Mum straightened out that workman that messed up.
    So did you let that vet have it for violating your body?? That is not good.
    Hope all of you, well two of you have a great Saturday.

  12. Austin, we can't believe what you had to put up with this week with the strangers in your yard and your house and then that awful v-e-t! We hope you take a nice long nap and try to forget about all of it.

  13. Lovely garden Austin. Sounds like quite an eventful time for you! Hope your recovery from having to go to the vet's office was short ;)

  14. Your flowers are so pretty, Austin, but ugh what a rotten week you had! I'm so sorry. Men in your house a visit to the vet, a shot...the kitties here both shudder. I think you're due lots of treats to try and forget all the ordeals.

    LOL on detritus!

  17. Austin, buddy! What an interesting week! I am glad that you got that "tickety-boo" repurrt while still sharing your outrage at being bundled off to the stabby place.

    That detritus looks pretty fun actually. Did you get to mess around with it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Holy cat! Who approved all these shenanigans anyway? Not you, we feel certain. We would be fairly knackered our own selves after such trauma. Indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yikes, and I thought my week was bad. At least you don't have to see the sadist for another 3 monff'z. Look what thoze thugs have done to your pad Austin..I hope you told them good. Your garden does look pretty :) Try and have an easy Sunday xx00xx

  20. Austin you must be exhausted! All that upheavel in one week....and apparently it's not over yet since that wonky workman blew it on the sill measurement. Well, with some luck he'll be back and out of there QUICKLY and you can get back to the peaceful life you OH SO deserve to lead!

  21. Austin, what a horrible terrible bad bad bad week! You were stalwart and stood firm throughout in true Welsh fashion.

    I hope personal reparations have been made? If not..transport over. I will see to your comfort. There will be brushies involved too.

  23. Too much of vet and workmen, I see, I see. Pobrecito! Seems your staff has not had the best week either. Hope both of you enjoy a relaxed calm Sunday to recuperate from the week. Paula

    Thugs AND the Vet all in ONE week.

  26. So... thank goodness the Staff stayed out of your way, then, eh Austin! You know there will probably be some extra compensation for you for all the hard work you had to endure going on around you.
    And those vet people like to see you every now and then to enjoy the glory of your presence, no?

    :)

  29. We're knackered from reading about your travails but happy you're okay. We'd love you teach the Yanks more Britishisms. Is that a word?

  30. Hahaha. Austin, you poor thing. What a cat has to endure!

  31. Austin Tuxedo! I love that! It's funny, in the first pick with his eyes closed he looks so peaceful, but then with them open ... yikes!
    I'm sorry he had such a distressing week. Going to the vet is always a bummer, although flea-dips were the terror of my house.
    I hope things get better next week, Austin!
    New follower; great post! :-)

  32. Blech, it sounds like an awful week. Methinks you should get some sardines or something for all your trouble!

  33. Oh my gosh, Austin... we had our fur all up in bunches because the human was late feeding us dinner. It was the worst 5 minutes of our life... but wow, we can't even believe what your human put you through!! Purrs from the Zee/Zoey gang!

    ReplyDelete
  34. P.S. We forgot to say yesterday how much we loves your gif! The Human learned how to do it but she has totally forgotten (what a surprise, eh?) She thinks it's still on Glogirly's site someplace....

    ReplyDelete
  35. OH, yeah. Way to walk right past a mess. We are not here to clean messes...either human or animal.

    And....three goes at it? Very generous. That was quite the mis-measurement.

  43. What a week through that good to hear the VET give a wait till next time. So TLC from Mom would make up for it.

  44. Austin, I hope you got loads of treats and bellyrubs to make up for everything you went through!

  45. Oh my goodness what a stressing week you had ! poor cat ! But you behaved very good concerning the flower in your garden because when I plant flowers Arthur feels obliged to dig them out again to do his very private business because the soil is so soft! yes, vets are a nightmare !
    Spring moved into Belgium too, nearly from one day to the other !

  46. I went to your friends blog--- Zee's & Zoey's and loved it!!!!

  50. We hear St. John's wort is good for that detritus. Better than antibiotics.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Aw, buddy! I'm bummed you couldn't watch my video! Well, let me tell you: First I gave a disgusted look at the camera, and then I gave another one, an dthen I licked my paw and washed my ear and then I began washing my manly chest. Yeah, that's about it.
