Tea? (Part 1)

[Milo]

Our dog used to like fireworks for some reason.

 

[Baggy]

Actually, Chai is quite a nice name for a cat...

 

[Speicher]

All this looking after little cat is very tiring, I'm off for a comparatively early night. Need to remember that there are two cats looking for breakfast tomorrow.

 

[Noodley]

With all this chat of cats I must post a pic of the newest Noodley family member:

This is Ollie.

She looks a bit scared, and probably was as the pic was taken on her first day with us. But she's been with us 3 days now and has become very relaxed and spent last night snuggled up next to me in bed. She is currently playing with a rubber frog...

 

[wafflycat]

Ollie is decidedly lovely.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

I'm just drinking a cuppa now but can I come back later

 

[wafflycat]

Oh yes.

 

[Amanda P]

Spike. (And another small cuddly animal).

 

[Mr Phoebus]

I get the impression Mr Phoebus would like some cake tomorrow.

Show me someone who refuses cake and I'll show them the inside of a padded cell. Actually, they're very cosy.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Oh that Tabby could be the twin of one I have just adopted. Will upload a pic ASAP.

Spike. (And another small cuddly animal).

Evening all! Just had a meeting with my supervisor, and it seems I may actually be finding something interesting in my results. Well, as long as you aren't too fussy about your definition of 'interesting'...

Tea, anyone, befreo I go home and do something creative with half a tin of tuna and a leek?

 

[Speicher]

I added tuna to my curry sauce, very excellent it was, with brown rice.

Tea will probably be consumed in the small hours, if a certain young lady decides that she is a smidgeon lonely.

BTW Arch, have you seen an Advert for "Build a Bear". I am sure that Ollie would like it when he is older, but of-course you might like to get some practice in before he reaches that stage.

I was at the Scrap store yesterday. Found that they had lots of those sample books of fabrics from some very posh shops. Some are large enough to make cushions, or to practice making shopping bags.

The best thing about them, is that they often have the same pattern or stripe in different colour ways, so the material makes excellent patchwork cushions using four square of different colours. Also a posh wallpaper sample book which could be used to cut colourful square and make my own birthday cards. (to send to other people, not for me, if you see what I mean).

Also got a half roll of wallpaper that looks like it would wrap presents, silvery white with large leaves. Some scrap paper pads for messages, from a company that changed its name.

Also a dustbin lid (new). My next door neighbour has a terrible bin lid, but you cannot normally buy lids separately. I think I know her well enough, that she will take it the right way, as it were. For convenience she keeps her bins not that far from the front door.

I also saw Penny Farthing plant pots, mind you do have to be very tall to water the plants.

Meet Freeman, the latest addition to my family. The one who reminds me of Spike

Hey Speicher, that lot sounds like lots of fun! So many ideas! I have a big boxful of odds and ends like that I've hoarded for years, meaning to do something with them...

Also, I have a load of odds and ends of knitting yarn, but I'm using them up gradually on various little projects..

Build a Bear? Not seen that, what is it?
