Love cats. All cats, that is. Those spoiled ones look wonderful.
Lilyp, we live near Cooma which is in the snowy mountains so about an hour by road from Thredbo and Perisher Valley - not sure how far as the crow flies (as they say). When the wind is from the south, like it was today, it's very cold in the snow season.
Weve been in all day today. The firewood supply is dwindling.
Winding down for bed son - just need to watch the end of Jools Holland (nick Cave is on tonight Also Sandy Shore).
LilyP Wonky used to have an adopted three legged white cat ... she was amazingly agile and would clamber out of Wonky's dormer window and chase the pigeons on the roof ... three and a half floors up!!!
We've just come back from a little outing to The Urban Jungle ... lovely cafeteria among the tree ferns, olives, vines and lemon trees
Then we found that I'd put something which sheds fibres into the wash with OH's black tee work shirts ... the shirts have gone back in for another rinse
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Did I say the other day that I'd unblocked the sink? I'd poured some stuff down it, left it a while, flushed it through with hot water and it ran clear.
Today it blocked again
I unscrewed the trap ... there's a sable hair paintbrush in it ... OH is having to saw through the paintbrush handle with a hacksaw as it's too long to extract and it's stopping us from removing the trap from the pipe ... one of the perils of living with artists

Bloody hell Dove.....how big is your trap......I assume you mean the 'u-bend' .....a paint brush was down there?
Meanwhile I have baked my first courgette cake......down to you guys , thank you ......looks like a bit of a train-wreck but will tell you how it tastes later......after our leftover salmon kedgeree
That must be a chocolate courgette cake, looks dark.
We went out to lunch today, a country restaurant in a local village, it was nice and very reasonably priced, 3 course lunch for £16 which included choices of steak or duck. We had thought of going for a walk, but it was 34° so went for a drive in the air conditioned car instead. Now it's muggy and very cloudy.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Dacha, at the moment he is lying in bed and coughing - nothing new there.
