When you aren’t going *anywhere* this morning

Fluffy ginger cat sprawled over a green duvet, pinning the legs underneath in place quite firmly.

Husband is sitting with our kitty, who has found a sheltered spot upstairs. We’ve already had a week of escalating explosions.

My fluffy cat gets addressed as ‘Madam Trotty Trews’ when she does that self-important bustling

Dammit, caved to propaganda.

Braised short rib is fork tender. I am eating it with one elbow out to prevent a fluffy ginger marauder sticking her paws and whiskers in.

White bowl, braised short rib, mash and cabbage in a rich gravy. Out of shot, ginger cat with grabby paws.

(I kind of want to make some kind of joke about anything Permian being a little Odd…)

Pebbles is so pretty, please give her a cuddle from me (if she will accept such indignity)

Beef short ribs on the go. This pot was already old when I picked it up second-hand (at least) as a student! Two temps only, no timer, solid stoneware inside, a beast to clean, will probably break your foot if you drop it.

Big Ginger Girl has distant Venetian family?

Have just given the Ginger Nonsense a handful of treats, and put her towel over the radiator for later. It’s raining, but the Mildly Miffed Hunt(*) will not be denied.

(*) Far too fluffy to be truly Wild

Forgot to lay in sweets for tonight, so have cravenly turned off lights and am hiding from screeching kiddies outside.

Well, since you insist… *clicks*

(I’m buying the Riven books next.)

Movies. Mobsters. Monsters. Murder.

He’s a lone wolf P.I, she’s a museum curator, and together they find themselves dodging cops and mobsters through the streets of 30’s Hollywood when instead of a mummy, there’s a dead crook in a box.

Different side with baked salmon tonight - leeks and peas with bacon, white wine and lots of butter.

Congratulations on your handsome new cat. 😺

Got to be koláče, surely? Probably with the kind of dark and evil espresso that leaves you blurring at the edges…

‘Shan’t’ Personified. Teenage years are a joy.

So…pretty much a standard kitten adoption, then?

Liz King @lizking.bsky.social · 9d

Also, excellent excuse to get toast and tea brought to me.

Not doing anything silly, but keeping my feet warm.

Fluffy ginger cat asleep on a green duvet. There may be feet underneath her.

You had me at ‘crime writer’ (and Venice) 🙂👋🏻

Decidedly Not on the prowl

Number 4!!! 😱🐀🐀🐀🐀

Some nights, it’s care and attention and new recipes. Sometimes, it’s calories and ketchup.

I can catch mice in a towel. Not attempting the big bitey buggers. Let her screaminess out again, but shut the kitchen door. Otherwise she likes to spit prey out under the bed. 😱
