Bonjour mes amis!
Albie here!
R only got two hours of sleep last night, therefore she was making even less sense than usual so I offered to stand in and write a post for her.
I know what you are thinking: it was my fault she slept so badly.
Wrong!
She said herself: “It was the ME.”
Very bad English - told you she wasn't making sense - surely it should have been “It was me.” Don’t know where she got those capital letters from. I think she was shouting the last bit, angry at it being herself keeping her awake. She shouts at me when I keep her awake.

Besides, I don't wake them up at 5am every day - only every other day. It can be more often if they have the fan on in the bedroom all night, preventing me from sleeping soundly on the bed as the breeze blows in my face, which I don't like at all. In that instance, I miaow, play with the curtains and let a bit of light into the room, jump up and down on them, and lick R's nose or cheek, but it’s only to share my discomfort. If I can’t sleep, why should they?!
Otherwise, I'm awake and wanting to play - aka have breakfast - and that's what T and R are there for: to feed me and keep me amused, and they can't do either of those things when they are asleep.
Also, I have proof I wasn’t in the bedroom:

See, I carried the kitchen roll from the kitchen work surface through to the bathroom and had a thoroughly fun time destroying it on the bathroom rug...
It’s been a bit hot here in recent days. When I go outside, I have to keep coming in the house and having a lie down on the cool wooden floor. But not for too long mind, as I could be missing something exciting going on in the alleyway. My two neighbours, a black cat and a grey cat, appear to be newbies outside like me, so each day we get more confident and venture further away from home. Only the other day Grey chased a squirrel all the way up the fire escape to the roof. I was a bit worried he was going to go on the roof too, but quite wisely he decided to just stay at the top of the stairs and not venture any higher. When Black and Grey are inside, I miaow loudly for them to come and play, but for some reason this hasn't worked. I did get a person to come outside with my miaowing and check on me (don't know who they were), as I have perfected the miaow which sounds as if I am in pain - I am not, the only discomfort I am experiencing is boredom or annoyance.
I am pretty proud of my miaow.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I just have to tell you this before I forget!
I met a really interesting family yesterday! I herded the newbies up the street: three young groundhogs and mumma groundhog. T and R were so excited, they forgot to bring a device to take a photo of me doing my sheepdog impression: Albie the Great Groundhogcat.
I hope the groundhogs return; they made a change from the usual cats and dogs with the odd squirrel thrown in for good measure.

What else…?
Well, I am getting to be a great fly catcher. R and T joke they finally have a use for me, as they show me the buzzing insect and let me loose on it. I think you will find R and T are supposed to be the beings with uses, thank you very much. I don’t mind them taking advantage of me and using me like this, it’s great fun to be honest, plus I get to jump on the kitchen work surfaces in my pursuit of the fly and am not told off as I usually am for being on there.
Between you and me, I’m still not very sure I like the taste of flies. Maybe it is something you grow to love when you get older…

But sometimes in this heat, I just get so tired, ya know? You just have to go with the flow and sleep a little in the daytime…then you are free to play and jump on human heads in the coolness of the night!
