A year ago today – six beautiful things from our house move
It’s a year today since we moved into our new home. I only started 3BTing a couple of months after the move so only have just a few tweets to mark the day — I think a few hindsight 3BTs are in order 1. It’s strange to see our things, the items that decorate our [...]
3BT – nice weather for water birds, fab cats, ugly Google, happy hound
1. We’ve been avoiding the muddy woods and walk to Apperley Bridge instead. We watch the swans and their perfect reflections in the marina, then the ducks squabbling on the canal. 2. It’s 11th years to the day since Carla & her late brother Carbon came to live with me. Throughout the day, I sing [...]
3BT – fighting it, warmth, perfect combination
1. Since she came to live with us a week ago, Lily has fought a constant battle against sleep during the day – she’s exhausted but there is a slim possibility that something exciting might happen (and everything we do is exciting at this stage) so she wants to keep watching us just in case. [...]
16 Beautiful Things about Carbon
Yesterday, we returned from the office on a high – it had been a good day and on the way back, we’d popped into the vets to get a reference for something very exciting set to happen this weekend. It was to be a happy pet week. Carla & Boron greeted us at the door [...]
3BT – musty, dusty, surreal, feral, exploration
1. My fingers smell of old, dried glue. 2. A circle of matte green-grey shoots have appeared in the garden. Only time will tell what they’ll be. 3. As I leave the theatre, a woman is holding a fake hand prop in her arms like a sleeping baby. 4. Carbon spot it first: a fox [...]
3BT – reward + walk = rewalk, can’t wait, so soft
1. I finish an unpleasant task a lot quicker than I expect which means I have time for a walk with the cats in the woods. They bounce and chase through the decaying leaves then follow me home. 2. I learn about herbs from one book and wild foods from the other. I can’t wait [...]
3BT – reds, shower, Carbon’s achievement
1. Three reds in the pan – both the vermilion peppers and dark maroon kidney beans stand out against the rich tomato sauce. 2. Even though I’m scared of the semi-dark (thanks to a lifetime of why-won’t-the-light-switch-work nightmares), showers without the light on are strangely soothing. 3. Carbon meows excitedly after he returns from a [...]
3BT – pate, cats, plunk-plink!, delights
1. The toast is evenly brown and perfectly crisp. The pate is strongly flavoured but delicious, and stirs in me the desire to make my own. I add it onto my “things to make” list. 2. Throughout the day, all the cats visit me at my desk. They sit on my knee between my body [...]
