Our day out exhausted me and I suspect F didn't feel like cooking so she took Panagiota out for a taverna meal after we got back from our train excursion. They returned with a box of fried anchovies and little squids.
I'm not (NOT) eating any food that came out of water. Feed it to the rabble downstairs.
All day Sunday seemed to be catch-up day: (F did go cycling first) do laundry, do the litter tray thing, turn compost, take oldest compost to garden, put plants out in garden, pot up chili seedlings (and label them. We have 4 varieties this year and some are supposed to be not hot. It would help therefore to be able to remember which ones.....)... clean up after the rabble downstairs (their toilet habits are disgusting and they leave deposits on the wall rather than scooting over to the garden, digging a hole and burying them. I've shouted at them but it doesn't help. Their smell is giving all felines a bad rap.)
Supervising all that was soooooo exhausting that I chose to sleep it off while F went off to see a friend about some fabric being discarded (by the friend); and came back with 2 saris (one silk) and a sofa throw made out of patched together silk offcuts. I've been threatened with hat-conversion (of the Davy Crockett kind), if I touch any of them.
I'm sure she has no idea what to do with all that silk but I know F; she wasn't going to let silk go in the bin.
(F might have created another job to do, but putting a tray of old wood pellets downstairs for the kittens to toilet in seems to have worked to prevent widespread contamination of the backyard. Let's hope they learn to prefer the 'bury it' habit. Their mum is one of the worst offenders for leaving it in the open.)
gorgeous silks, hope you don't TOUCH them. ha ha and here's hoping the outside cats like the new potty. I looked up travel litter boxes and wow, had no idea they were out there.
ReplyDeleteNow we have to go and look up travel litter boxes - ours is just a shallow storage box with a well clipped on lid.

ReplyDeleteFirst, let me drool over those fabrics - sari lengths are lush...
Next let me ponder - could it be the mother cat has learned to manage in the concrete jungle and that grass and earth patches are few and far between for learning to 'bury the biddyness'??? Thus the kits will only learn the same. Hope the wood pellet training works! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Dear YAM-aunty - that's what we dug up the patch of clay out front (and made a garden) for. All the other locals are happy to bury it - even Miss C's brother (whom we now call Uncle Bro Cat) uses the garden now. Having said that 72 hours after cleaning cat skat off the wall, we have yet to receive any new deposits. Lovely topic! Let's stick with sari fabric - quite frankly it is difficult to imagine it as anything else. F is trying to imagine floor length 'coat' (floaty outer garment) with some flare and possibly no sleeves, or long flared sleeves.... xxx Mr T

DeleteWell, tell F that tonights episode of the Great British Sewing Bee had an invention test based on using parachute fabric - nearly as flimsy and tricksy as silk. Four fabulous dresses emerged!!! Yxx
Sounds like your house is going to be very busy with the sound of a sewing machine. Bunny and Bruno were too busy being happy sun cats this morning.
