Here’s a little something to tide you over while I’m away in the country…. Because I know you’re missing me SO much. To let another day go by without posting would be just cruel of me. Cruel. Heh.

Anyway, just to be even crueler, I thought I’d show you whom I’m hanging out with in the country. No, it’s not Clive Owen. He’s overseas working on a movie — couldn’t make it. It’s HIM:

His name’s Rusty. He and his fluffy girlfriend Pepper are brand new additions to the country house and landscape. This kitten has the life. He gets to roam around acres of farmland and all its Alice-in-Wonderland-y nooks and crannies and he gets to curl up on the couch and right here beside moi on the kitchen chair….

Bad blogger that I am, I forgot my camera cord — or whatever that thing’s called that lets you transfer photos from your camera to your computer. So this is the only photo I have to share with you today. My in laws emailed it to me before we left. It was a very sneaky and effective way to get me out here. I’m kidding, of course: I don’t do bribery; although I will do just about anything right now for a grande soy no-water chai latte, only because there ARE no Starbucks for miles here — bribe away….

Please don’t tell Minden about Rusty, or Clive Owen. (That sentence is deliberately ambiguous, btw.) Oh wait, he reads my blog. (Deliberately vague.) So, never mind….
