BFF


If it weren't for the fact that I am still finding bits of cat hair in orange and black attached to bits of cat skin around the house when we have been out, I would think these two were thawing towards each other.

Scones for breakfast!




My friend J gave all the crafternooners this recipe. It takes a total of half an hour to make and the scones are delicious! I used self raising flour instead of regular and was rewarded by fluffy scones. I also used half a teaspoon of cinnamon and craisins instead of currants. J is right that this is a dangerous recipe, far too easy to make, far too easy to enjoy. They apparently freeze well but I would have to make a double batch as this batch didn't last past breakfast.

Daisy



My latest office mate. She came in touch-sensitive so that she would nip everyone who tried to touch her, but after hanging out in my office for a week she has become a little snuggle bear. She is a pit bull mixed with some boston terrier, and with that mix it's no guess why she likes to climb up on my lap and look adoringly up at me while I work. Too sweet.

can't believe our eyes!



Well Oleo wouldn't even sit on someone's lap for the longest time. She also detests Henry. Tonight Henry was having a nap on K's lap, as is one of his most favourite things, when Oleo climbed up, mushed K's belly till it was satisfactorily soft, and laid down right next to her orange arch nemesis. We were dumbfounded and I had to share. I know our Irving Str. roomies will be dumbfounded too.

Ice storm




I have always thought that a fresh snow was incredibly beautiful but had never taken the time to think about how ice could be the same way. After an overnight ice-storm the other night it took us twice the amount of time to walk to the bus stop because I had to keep stopping to admire. I also took some pics, but again, on my cell so just not great photos - they don't do the ice justice at all.

scaredy cat


This evening Henry had me in stitches. He is apparently deathly terrified of stink bugs. There was one crawling around on his cat condo and he just kept backing up and around as the stink bug got closer and closer. His little fluffy face was so funny as this teeny wee thing invaded his space. By the time I got around to taking the photo the bug had made it all the way around and Henry was studiously ignoring it.
