Busy day, but a good one.
Just found this old photo of Rob, Sam and me. Bath time cuddles.
A montage of images that inspired my new book MICKEY, due out in June next year. @kensingtonbooks @harpercollinsaustralia #catbook #catbooks #newzealandchildhood

Another family classic for the new recipe section of my website has to be You’ll Find Out (my twist on apple crumble). The name originated decades ago when little Sam and Rob would tug at my skirt saying, “What’s for pudding?”
When Alice stayed over last night, she confirmed You’ll Find Out’s still worth asking for . #applecrumble #simpledesserts #granddaughterlove

Putting together recipes to share with you on my website, I had to test bake another banana cake. This simple recipe inspired me to write and perform the stage show A SLICE OF BANANA CAKE with talented jazz musicians in New Zealand and Australia. With help from hard-working volunteers, the show raised more than $40,000 for hospices and other charities. It was aired on Radio National, NZ and is probably lurking in their files somewhere . @radionewzealand #bananacake🍌 #easyrecipes #flavours @phillipislandfoodloves #homebaked

Sebastian’s vet fitted him with a floppy collar to stop him licking an old wound. Poor Sebastian isn’t loving the Elizabethan look. At least he doesn’t have to wear pantaloons. #gingercatsofinstagram #catcollars #catsofaustralia #catsinfashion

It’s taken a while for daughter Kath’s rescue cats, Mishie and Sebastian, to discover the meaning of true friendship. Months of couples counselling (combined with chilly winter nights) have paid off - at last. #catbuddies #gingercat #tabbiesoftheworld #happytogether❤️

As the Scribbler’s Covid nurse, I can report she’s feeling a lot better today - partly due to your kind wishes, not to mention my magnificent paws-on care. She is, at least, up and wearing those ridiculous pants. Huge thanks to you all. #covidrecovery #covidnurse
