Anyone with a cat will know all about this. Gouttierre, the convent cat, wakes me at 5am by sliding her scratchy little toenails down the bedroom door. I'm thinking of buying her slippers.
About Me
- Le Couvent - www.roujan.com
- Take me somewhere warm and friendly where I can stop - stop and stay for a while in a big, pumpkin-coloured room, a chambre d'hote where I don't have to wake up until noon. Does it exist? Come on, of course they do, hotels, houses to rent, chambres d'hotes in the south of France where I can check in for bed and breakfast and stay a few days and it's alright and I can get up at noon and smell the lavender and walk through the vineyards and dip my toes in the Mediterranean and, and I could lie on the beach and read. I could read French books, I know my French is rubbish but even I could read Agatha Christie in French, Something old-fashioned. Sort of Deauville or Provence. The tube jerks off. Outside the windows are dark curved walls with thickly-coated horizontal tube maps of wires moving by. Passing by slowly, I give you that, but definitely moving. "Thank God, not today then. Yes. No. Oh God. We've stopped again. Why don't they tell us what's happening. They do quite a lot now about all sorts of things. Not really important things of course. If they don't say anything it means it's bad. Or they're too busy I suppose. How busy? How bad? Okay, don't go there. Go back.

Hi guys!
Your cat clip is brilliant!
My friend whose only companion (at home) is his cat, loved it, but said if his cat 'Gus' took a baseball bat to him to get his attention, he would be in a cat home faster than the time it takes to bring up his fur-ball!
Keep on writing!

Hi Linda
Great to hear from you. Glad you liked it. Right now it's lashing with rain so the cat is sitting a quarter of an inch from the fire.
We're about to publish a second blog - Ali's - in the next few days. It will be on www.chateaumalaudos - not there yet, but give it 48 hours.
Lots of love from us.
Whoops - that should have been www.chateaumalaudos.com
