Put the art stuff away for now after doing some work on the current project. Needed to stop because my concentration has gone *fzzzt* - am working from a black & white photo, but doing the drawing in colour, so have to keep referencing back to other pictures.

Now sat back watching the news and enjoying a

Yep my old moggie certainly kept down the heating costs in my old flat, Kissa* was like a furry hot water bottle

*At the time I got the kitten my girlfriend was from Finland so I asked "what is the Soumi for cat.......................Kissa

Oh and BTW it is pronounced keysa, it kind of lives on in my 'naughty tortie' who is called Kizzy

The library staff have their huge artificial Christmas tree all dismantled and set to one side of the counter with each part numbered and empty biscuit tins all neatly labelled with lights or whatever decoration is in them.

My conclusion is that someone is much more organised than me as I'd pull it to bits and throw it in the store.

Why do little job end up being the longest ones to get done. Only had a few things to clear away and pack taken an age.
Mrs 73 walks in from work then remembers tonights WI they are having a Christmas regifting swop. She's nothing she don't want so i've raided the bottle stash. Prosecco will do nicely we don't drink the stuff so back I go to unpack the wrapping paper i've just packed away
Then wrap it all this well i'm trying to make her Toastie before she dashers back out the door. So one happy wife seen off to the pub her meeting.

Right, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Overly warm night for the time of year meant a 4am change of duvet then a 3 1/2 mile walk at lunchtime and for some reason the spinning bike seems an effort too far this evening.

Twelth night ain't til tomorrow though, mind you all the idiots round here who had lights all over the front of their houses and in the windows from the start of December seemed to take everything down the day after Boxing day. That said I heard some numpty in the local Co-op saying to his oppo "It's called 'Boxing Day' cos that's when everything goes back in it's box til next year"

Lovely supper of steamed salmon, roasted green peppers stuffed with lemon & parsley bulgur wheat, and portobello mushrooms done in the George Foreman grilly thing. Ah, and some pomegranate for afters.

When I adopted Kitts

When Kitts chose me at the cattery, I did not like that name. I liked the name Kizzy which she is now called. I recall discussing cat names on this thread.

Did anyone else watch "Light in the Hall" yesterday evening? Part two, of six is on tonight at 9pm.

I know it is early in the series but I have a theory. The chap just out of prison did not commit the crime, it was his sister who is/was the murderer.

I am getting blinky eyes from a sleepy tortie full of chicken.

Ebay has hopefully resolved a problem. Fitted a small monitor to use with a Roku, PC, and Freesat box but the latter transmits at the wrong frequency. After a good few google searches I found reference to an adaptor being sold at £53.47 by its makers, a further google search threw up a second hand one on Ebay for £31.63 and then a search on Ebay found new ones being sold for £9.99! At which point I decided it was a risk worth spending.
