Cat Sitting and Cake Making

This week, we are cat sitting for a neighbour, the plan being that we feed her in the morning and lunch time and sit with her for an hour at night. Saturday, the first day, she looked us up and down, and then went back to bed. Sunday, was a little better. she sat on our lap for two minutes, and watched us from the hall for a bit before she went off to bed obviously disgusted with our choice of viewing which was the so called 'variety' show, a more dire piece of tv I have yet to see. Monday, however, Plum had a nice visit with her in the afternoon, and in the evening she kept us and our friend Sarah company and was purring and sitting on the sofa washing and stayed with us for a good hour and a half before she went to bed. Today, we had a lovely surprise, while we were eating our lunch, she came to visit us!! She went and checked out Molly upstairs before going back home. Plum went with her to feed her and got lots of purrs and love in return. We are hoping that when we go round tonight, she will stay with us all the time we are there and not feel such a little lost soul.

As far as the cake making goes.. it isn't. We are making a big cake for Sunday, but our first attempt sunk without trace. The second one looks a lot better (couldn't have looked any worse) we thought all now will be plain sailing, we've got the cake, just the decorating to do. But what a nightmare it has turned out to be. There is nowhere including Hobbycraft to get cake decorations so we are now stuck with a bare cake, what are we going to do??? We have til Saturday to come up with a solution..... we definitely prefer cat sitting to cake making.
