Many of you have wondered, as we have, what the little tunnel we showed you recently might be used for, and what the bits and pieces of words we heard meant.

Phiphi, Zoé, Pâquerette, Ivan and Izzy, Angel and Balou, Shadow, Ernie, Monti and Finn, and Omi Elke were right: there will be work in spring to insulate the exterior walls of the house !

So that we can continue to go out, our humans will move a section of the fence of the garden, and we’ll be able to continue to access it by means of a long tunnel. What you have seen is only the first part; the rest will be made with wire mesh attached to a board. Claire and Momo want us to get used to passing through the tunnel for 2 or 3 months before the work starts, so we can show it to you very soon.

I’m not thrilled with the noise and excitement ahead, even if it’s only a few months away !

We have just heard that our friend Balou crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few days ago; lots of comforting purrs to his family.

We are currently enjoying a beautiful autumn weather conducive to walks, and our humans don’t deprive themselves.

The season seems to be enabling DIY too : here is Momo’s latest work.

We don’t really see what this beautiful tunnel is for, and we need your help: we’ve heard the words architect, perimeter insulation, scaffolding, spring, they-need-to-get-used-to-it-first. It looks like a coded message !

In your view, what do you think all this means ?
