Fat Eric and Friends: Mancat Monday

Mancat Monday

When the sun finally comes out for a day or two, you have to make the most of it before it starts raining again...

Here in London, another majestic mancat has been in the news. He's called Blackjack. We've been following his story and worrying that it wouldn't have a happy ending, but it did! You can read about him here.

My mum is taking her class of children on a trip into central London tomorrow to visit Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Golden Hinde (which are very near each other). She hasn't taken a class into central London since the day we do not talk about, so wish her luck!

Hope your mum's trip to central London was not at all like "the day we do not talk about," and that she and her children had a fine time!

I enjoyed Blackjack's story too. Hope he gets a wonderful forever home.

Eric you look beautiful in the garden. Have a great week!

We're glad BlackJack got caught and is safe now. We hope your mum has a better day with her class, but it sounds as if it can't be any worse than the last time.
Our Beans said they had a good trip around the British Isles and they were very lucky with the weather. Two days started dull and drizzly, but by the time they had breakfast and got off the ship, the sun came out. They only had one wet day which was in Belfast and it poured down all day, so they took a coach tour to see the scenery without getting too wet. It poured down home here nearly all the time though.

I am so pleased to hear about Blackjack! And I hope that this trip goes better for your Mum. We quite liked the Globe theater when we were there.

Hurray for Blackjack! He is one tough mancat. I'm sure he'll get a great home and love the life of a spoiled kitty.

Mine mombean would love to see the Globe Theater. She is a big fan of Shakespeare. She read almost all of his plays when she was at school. She says she was talkin' funny for a while coz she got so used to the olde tyme english.

I hopes your mumbean has a great trip.

Good luck to your mum on her school trip. We hope this year's trip is a lot better than the last one she took. Hopefully with a new group of kids, they will be much better behaved.

Hello Eric! Today was another good day for sun beams (it's Tuesday)... at least over here in Surrey.

Your mum is brave to take kids into London. No way would we do that.

Yippie for BlackJack! Big hugs to the group that saved him.

I'm sure tomorrow will go much better for your mommy. We will send many positive thoughts her way.

Good luck to your Mom! You look like you are enjoying your time out in the sun ... like they say, stop and smell the flowers (or eat them, I can't remember exactly).

Well, we are certainly happy that Blackjack's story has a happy ending. We hope your mom's day goes much better tomorrow, and no repeats of last time.

Enjoy the sunshine.
