Bagels, impromptu walk, cheesetastic
1. At the last second, I remember we do have some bread products in the freezer – bagels. We rush to defrost and toast them before the lovingly scrambled eggs go cold and boy, are we glad we did. 2. It starts off in a less than promising way – two dank tunnels under the [...]
31 Beautiful Things
In honour of my 31st birthday, here are 31 beautiful things from today. (Cross posted to my main blog.) 1. I’d gone to bed before John and it’s after midnight when he comes to bed. I stir as he climbs in next to me and we have a sleepy exchange, the content of which I [...]
Mmm cheese, likes it there, cat love
1. The risotto is cheesier than normal. On the fine line between sickly and perfect comfort food, I wouldn’t like it every time but for a one-off, it’s delicious. 2. Deposited there for the duration of our supermarket visit, Lily sits on the living room rug, tail wagging, and watches me say goodbye to Katherine. [...]
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. [...]
3BT – gravy, silky, full
1. We sit around the table, our fingers sticky with spicy gravy, laughing and telling stories. 2. The light reflects off her eyes and her silky fur as she sits proudly in the doorway. 3. After the big lunch, I don’t have time for dinner so I pack myself a tub of cheese, crackers & [...]
3BT – snow day, elastic, killing is fun, same soup
1. Even without my glasses or raising my head from the pillows, I can tell the world’s gone white again. Our plans are abandoned and we give ourselves a snow day of relaxation. 2. The cheese stretches between my teeth and the toasted bread shell. 3. I rarely play PvP battlegrounds and forgot how much [...]
3BT – racing, productive, post office, cheese, wowed by WoW
1. A few people have suggested we have a second bathroom installed on our lower ground floor – near the area which will be our office – but if we did, we’d have no reason to race up the stairs, pushing past each other, pulling back on jeans’ waistbands, when we both realise we need [...]
3BT – too tight, warm, discussion and snow
0. (From last night) I always cast on too tightly, making the first row of knitting on circular needles a right pain in the arse. By comparison, the second row at the correct tension is a joy and I happily, mindlessly, knit two, purl two until the item is finished. 1. After nearly a decade [...]
