Cat Midnight snarls and frightens the Badger

Creative...
I woke up in the night, so decided to do my secret doorway. Woke up this morning and couldn't find it, then found it under my pillow.
So, black pen and a waterbrush on a post card and a wee bit of white pen added just now...
All doors and windows open.
Clear blue skies.
Sun is touching the tops of my trees.
Cat Chunky Marmalade is availing himself of the cat food I have just put out.
Male Blackbird is scolding him from a high vantage point.
All is well with the world.
Except Midnight.
Because I turned him upside down trying to rummage through my bedcovers for my secret doorway drawing.
He is sulking because he was warm and comfy before I moved the bedcovers.
I did try to move him gently, but he had refused to move.
Oh dear, Chunky Marmalade has just come in my bedroom to avail himself of Midnight's breakfast (I did say all doors & windows were open for fresh air...).
Midnight has objected, and Chunky has just fled with Midnight hard on his tail.
All is not well with the the world...
Don't let little things upset you.
Have your best day.
Oh what a beautiful morning.
Time for a cuppa...

Jade will usually (but not always) stay on the swing with one badger, but when there are two she normally gets off because she knows one of them wants the cloths @jjraakMidnight's a tough ol' boy.
Like how he stands his ground, while jade's more likely to make herself scarce.
And he then gets back to contemplating a day in the life of a cat ...
"how long to sulk before snuggling back up to mum,
how to get revenge on that cheeky cat intruder daring to eat MY food.
if I had opposable thumbs, could I really learn to drive...mmmm.."

Thank you @gennepherA great bold ink sketch @dunelm
Yes, @gennepher. You are so right. I am very guilty of thinking I am super human. Thank you for reminding me to do my intermittent chair rests....and still do your intermittent chair rests while teaching even though you are pain free, just for a few days @Krystyna23040
We all think we are superhuman (me included)...
Oh ye of little faith/.titter ye not. Pearl clutchers gonna be wery, wery cwoss but that's the price of free speech. Since you know your art and music consider yourself cultured and uncancelled. Then again so was the kefir on my grocery delivery so probably don't wake Mrs Miggins at 3.00 am celebrating a stunning win for common sense. What did happen to Esther McVey?Great news if you are a mouse then
What a wonderful place you grew up in @gennepher.Fbg 6.5

I got a postcard yesterday, which was of a doorway to a landscape. A small boy was sitting in the doorway. The door itself was the pages of a book.
So, that is where this Creative idea came from.
When I was a small child, my 'doorways' were entrances to places where I looked out from, eg I lived on a farm besides Sherwood Forest. There were no restrictions about going right up to the Major Oak then. I used to go in the hollow of the tree with my dog, and we would watch people go past. Also, just up the lane from the farm was the River Maun where there is a sandstone outcrop, and I found a cave there which only could be accessed by wading in the river, and I sat in there for hours with my dog. It was not until many years later I discovered that it was actually called Robin Hood's Cave.
I went there early one summer morning (5am?) about 25 years ago with my first hearing dog for the deaf. We got into the cave. But a short while later some young Boy Scouts (the scout camp was just in the woods) put their heads round the entrance. The horror on their faces when they saw someone and a dog at the back of the cave. They screamed and fled. I thought it might be a wise idea at that point to leave...
Also, often in my dreams I come across doorways, but these doorways I know I must not go through... If I open them, there is a vast dark terrifying abyss at the other side. I have never leapt into it. I always thought I might never wake up from my dream if I did that...
On that bright note, have a great day.
Time for a cuppa!

Thank you @Krystyna23040What a wonderful place you grew up in @gennepher.
I had a nightmare about a doorway once. My youngest daughter had been struggling with some work for her A Levels. She was so happy when she completed it as she had been really stressing out.
The night she completed it I had a nightmare that I was reading it when a doorway opened in the floor and in shock I dropped her work and watched fall into the opening and disappear forever. It felt so real it was quite scary.
A lovely story and finely illustrated - is that an apple next to you. Perhaps from the tree outside? We used to go to Sherwood Forest on my uncles motorbike and side car - two adults and four children. I suppose that we would all be arrested nowadays!Fbg 6.5

If you notice Jade when she jumps off the swing, she walks straight into the bush the badger was, just seconds before. She often does this...

The broken plate metaphor was interesting and reminded me of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections.Not sure this will work
Something I found uplifting not sure if you will agree.
