On Sunday morning Suzy sent me a photo of Tom squaring up to another cat in her garden; she had heard them screeching and yowling outside her window! A few minutes later Tom arrived home without his collar - when I described this to Davie by phone later I told him that Tom had arrived naked (well, his collar is his only item of clothing!) and Davie said that I had made it sound as if the other cat had shaved him! Anyway we then got a phone call from Mrs Rattray to say that she had found Tom’s collar round the side of her house, so Alasdair ran up to meet her at the hedge to retrieve it. Soon Tom was reunited with his collar and went up to our bed to relax after his ordeal. James and I met up with Heather and Ewan for a walk in the afternoon. It was cold, icy in places, and a bit drizzly but it was lovely to get outside and to meet up with them. We obeyed the current regulations by walking “two by two” again.
When we got home Ally and Cat had prepared a Valentine’s meal for the four of us - a fondue savoyarde and a hot stone grill! It was absolutely fantastic! The fondue tasted perfect and we cooked steak strips and chicken strips for Ally and James on the hot stone as well as peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms, and we had cubes of bread and wee new potatoes on the side. It was a delicious feast.
